Summary: Horrible phone
Review: DON'T BUY THIS PHONE! Hard to hear, fuzzy. Very short headset battery life (JUST A FEW HOURS) and the unit won't ring or record messages if the headset battery is low. So you can't carry this one around the house, take to the garage or yard for very long, that's very annoying.

The unit goes bonkers when there is a power outage (all it's light begin to flash.) If that happens, the unit won't ring and won't record messages until reset. Resetting isn't easy either. A simple turn off-turn back on to reset would have been a nice. Even changing the day/time isn't easy.

The positive is the moden intercept. If you have a single line phone and you accidently pick up phone or are receiving a fax you won't ruin your internet/fax connection. Other phones won't allow you to pick up by mistake thus ruining you internet/fax in progess. If you want to walk around while talking this is fine. It even has a jack for a earphone/microphone and that works great. Just remember to put the phone back in the charger and keep it there when not in use.

One day this one will go sailing out the window. Then I have to buy a new phone, fix a broken window, and endure a tongue lashing from the wife.

DON'T buy it either new or used.

Summary: Nice little phone but weak battery
Review: I bought this phone a year ago in white. It is a small phone and ergonomically designed. Fits hand comfortably but when rested between shoulder and ear, to free up my hands, my earlobe always pressed the mute button. The answering machine works fine, and if you have call-waiting, the flash button is a handy feature.
All in all the phone is nice-looking/ergonomic/priced right, and the sound quality is good. Of course, there is a downside to all this. The battery life is HORRIBLE. 2 hours off the cradle and it's dead! I am forced into buying another phone after only a year. If you don't mind keeping this phone on the cradle whenever you aren't using it, it is a great buy. If you are like me and like to have the phone next to you wherever you are in the house, look elsewhere...

Summary: Not a bad unit ...
Review: I bought this unit to replace an aging Sanyo analog cordless phone that was starting to get too much static. The phone itself is relatively clear, though sometimes the volume is too low on the handset (if you increase it with the Vol buttons, you hear too much background hiss). A nice feature of the handset is that you can turn off the ringer to preserve battery life (only the base station will ring). The handset charges in the base and can face either forward or backward. There is no second dial pad on the base (only answering machine controls). The digital answering machine is nice: it will date/time stamp incoming messages and can store two different greetings. You can program your own PIN so you can check messages remotely. You can also selectively delete messages, or store them for later review. I only have two problems with this phone. 1) the handset is uncomfortable if you try to hold it between your shoulder and ear for too long (though it does have a headset jack and belt-clip), and 2) recently the phone started dying as soon as the "low battery" warning starts (so basically there is no low battery warning at all). I'm going to try replacing the rechargeable NiCads to see if that helps.

Summary: Very disappointed
Review: I have been very disappointed with my Casio phone experience. The first one I bought was returned in less than 30 days due to mal-function. I was given a second one. It lasted only a few months, working only fairly well. Now, it also has mal-functioned. I have contacted Casio's help line (after MUCH difficulty), only to be told to unplug it and see what happens. I followed instructions and it remained dead as a "door nail." I finally became completely disgusted, unpluged the phone and put it aside to be placed in the garbage. Now, I must buy a new phone and I can assure you that it will not be a Casio! Buyers beware!

Summary: disappointing
Review: The phone is okay, but the sound quality is disappointing and the ringer annoying. It is comfortable to hold between one's head and shoulder. I have not used the ahswering machine.

Summary: Very disappointed
Review: When it arrived, I was disappointed in how difficult it was to see the phone LCD display (no back light, no contrast control). I change the greetings remotely, and after about one month, this feature ceased to function. After going through the proper channels, which means many long distance phone calls to California, Casio approved returning it to them for repair. I shipped it back, and in only another five weeks, it came back. Now it does not work at all. After speaking to Casio again (more long distance calls to California), they are encouraging me to continue to unplug it and re-set it all weekend, and on Monday they might approve my returning it again.

Meanwhile, I have purchased a Uniden for less money, which works flawlessly.

I will NEVER purchase another Casio product; anyone can make a lemon, but it takes a truly bad company to fail to correct their mistakes.
