Summary: "Neverlast" Battery
Review: I purchased a Toshiba 900 MHz phone (doesn't have 2 lines like this one) and I had a horrible time with the battery. You couldn't leave it off the charger for more than 12 hours before it started an annoying beep. It will beep constantly even if you're not using it! I thought something was wrong with that particular phone so I exchanged for the same model. I'm having the same exact problem! I also didn't like the fact that you can't turn the ringer off.

I've had several cordless phones that you can use for days without having to put them on the charger - this one won't last 12 hours! I'm in the process of contacting the company to see what I can do about this.

Summary: Great phone
Review: I've never had any kind of trouble with this phone. Reception is great, and the battery really lasts a LONG time. I've often left it off the charger for a day and a half with probably two hours of talk time in there, and it has been fine. You can slip it in your pocket, too, if you are so inclined (and you have big pockets). All-around, a good phone.

Summary: Best 2 line of 3 brands tried
Review: Nice phone, good feel and clear reception. Now its in the cupboard not being used because the battery life is useless. Planning to buy new battery but based on these other reviews I dont hold much hope. I also have a 2 line panasonic, never a problem with that phone.

Summary: 2 Line Cordless Toshiba Phone
Review: Similar to another reviewer, I have had nothing but problemswith this phone and the batteries in particular! Both the battery inthe handset, as well as the backup battery stored in the base where it recharges, neither one has enough power to last through a 20 minute phone call. The speakerphone works beautifully but plan to throw the handset away! END

Summary: Good value
Review: This 2-line cordless 900MHZ phone is a good value. The battery life is very good (be sure to fully charge the battery before first use) and the dual keypad is very handy. Biggest cons: no headset jack and it's too easy to disconnect the phone when it's craddled between head and shoulder.

Summary: Best 2 line of 3 brands tried
Review: This was my original 2 line cordless and the only one that has held up. Because of an active family that heavily uses phones we have 3 2 line cordless phones. 2 other brands I have tried either need continuous battery replacements, drop lines when quickly switching from one line to another or just decide not to not to work with their home stations every so often. Other reviews that suggest more humming and static than other clear channel phones confuse me, I have the opposite. I have 2 P--------s and both have terrible background noise. The 3 brand I threw away after it decided to not work more often than work. The only negative about the Toshiba, it does not have an answering machine so I have to look to other brands for that feature. That's why I'm here, trying to figure out whether to try another.

Summary: This phone has survived three teenage girls...
Review: We bought this phone about a year ago and have been tickled pink with it. The touch pad is a good size and the one line/two line feature is easy to use.

I haven't had any trouble with the batteries. And we use this phone constantly. Once charged, the battery lasts a good 2 hours+, maybe more.

The reception has always been good - even out into the back yard (though our back yard isn't very big...).

The two line feature is what I love the most. We have several two line phones and two portable phones, but this is the favorite phone in the house.

The speaker phone fuction (and intercom) on the base is also very useful.

Sorry to disagree with the other posts, but I've got nothing but praise for this model.

Summary: Cordless Toshiba
Review: Wish it came w/ a belt clip like other models did? Stupid it didn't. Also, wish it had headphone jack? White would be nice too.
