Summary: This phone is a piece of junk!
Review: Bought it for about ($) in store. Initially it works fine. No problem with it at all except it takes SEVEN rings to engage the answering machine. After 3 months it gets extremely noisy with static, even when the headset is 2 feet from the base. Switching channels does not help at all. They ALL have this noise. While the phone is right next to a PC, my older cordless does NOT have this problem. I have 3 other phones on the SAME LINE and they are all fine so it must be the phone itself. After 4 months, the battery in the handset is virtually dead. Talktime with the handset is less than 10 minutes. And this is with the phone recharging ALL THE TIME. At least it "warns" you about battery going dead, but this is unreasonably short for a phone that's less than 6 months old! Discharging and recharging doesn't help either. A replacement battery is ($) + S&H! The screen is barely readable, and the buttons on the base are nearly invisible. Controls are almost impossible to figure out without the manual. All in all, this is the worst phone I've ever purchased. My old Panasonic cordless was better than this.

Summary: Terrible reception
Review: The other features of this phone are adequate, but the sound quality is awful. Some times I get heavy, crunchy static even when I'm standing right next to the base unit. I would not recommend this piece of junk to anyone.

Summary: Piece of junk! Complete waste of my money!
Review: This phone is a piece of junk! It's supposed to be a 2.4 GHz phone and it was SO NOISY my old REGULAR (not even 900 MHz, but the one BEFORE that) cordless from Panasonic has less noise! And I'm RIGHT NEXT to the base! THEN the batteries start to run down. This phone now has LESS THAN TEN MINUTES of talk time! And this phone was LESS THAN A YEAR OLD! I hate this phone so much, I went out and bought a 900 MHz cordless. No noise, fine battery life. In fact, I'm going to "give" this phone to one of my "friends". Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

Review: This phone is very user-UNFRIENDLY. For starters, there is no backlight on the phone, so you can't see the LCD readout or the keypad without independent lighting. Moreover, there is no way to completely turn the sound off when you receive a message, so you still hear the speaker even when you are sleeping (and have the ringer off!). Next, there is no MUTE button. The handset is very heavy and bulky and gets very tiring to hold next to the ear for an extended period. Programming the phone is OK, but you have to make some unecessary steps just to do everyday things, such as turning the ringer off and returning a call from the callerID. For example, if you locate the number in the memory, why can't you just press TALK? No. It couldn't be that easy: You have to remember to press callback. This is an unnecessary step, in my opinion. I would not recommend this phone at all to anyone. Save your money.
