Summary: Very Nice Phone
Review: Contrary to other reviewers, I have had very good experience with this phone. First of all, I think it is a very nice looking phone and is not too big (most phones with answering machine combo are big and ugly). The phone is very clear, and the digital answer machine works very well and never cuts off any message.

Summary: This phone stinks
Review: Do yourself a favor and stay away from this phone. I agree with all of the other reviewers here in that the sound quality is terrible (even a few feet away I was having conversations garbled and cut off), the design is poor, and worst of all the answering machine cuts off and loses messages. Almost all messages that are recorded are cut off half way and the machine also fails to record messages at all. I had the same experience as another reviewer in that I heard a message being recorded over the speaker, but when I went to play it back, the machine didn't record it. I got this phone as a gift but I will be going out to buy another one as soon as possible.

Summary: SAME PROBLEM MACHINE LOSES MESSAGES
Review: I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE PREVIOUS REVIEWER WITH THIS PHONE. MANY MESSAGES LEFT WERE SIMPLY NOT CAPTURED BY THE MACHINE.

Summary: Good phone, but the answerer loses messages
Review: I was happy with this machine until several people in succession had asked about messages they'd left, which I hadn't received. I also noticed that some messages were getting cut off in mid-sentence now and again. Finally as I was screening a call I listened as the caller was cut off after a few seconds, and then watched the machine fail to store the words I had heard. The manual says the machine is set to hang up after 4 seconds of silence, but obviously what it calls ``silence'' can be a normal conversational pause or a softly-spoken person talking. A fatal flaw, as far as I'm concerned.

Summary: This phone stinks
Review: We have had this phone for under a year and has stopped the phone lines in the house. We had to have a [company] come to our house only to find out that our phone was faulty. After many phone calls to Casio we finally had a new phone shipped to our house to replace the faulty one. Within 6 months the phone went completely dead. We took it to a repair man and he said it was cheeper to buy a new phone because the phone would only die again. So in conclusion this phone is the worst purchase ever

Summary: Spend $20 more and get something decent
Review: Where do I start in my criticism of this product? Well, I've had messages that were totally garbled by "digital static." The capacity on the answering machine is also quite limited. The phone part works sporadically if at all, and I got this as a Christmas gift--so, in less than a year, the thing is now little more than a paperweight with LED lights. I only use the answering machine part now and have to use a traditional corded phone until I get another cordless because of the lack of quality workmanship in this hunk o' junk. Please, don't suffer my same frustration because this is financially a good deal. Spend just a little more--it'll be worth it.
