RCA RC920 Wireless Phone Jack System

Summary: It works very well but does have some drawbacks
Review: I have used two RCA Wireless Phone jacks for about two years now without much in the way of problems. They are portable and literally just need to be plugged in. One drawback is that you cannot pick up two phones that are connected to two individual jacks at the same time (3 way conversation). One of the jacks grabs the dial tone and the other will give a nasty buzz. You may also need to periodically reset both extension units by lifting the receiver of the phone attached to the base unit if you do not hear a dial tone from the extension units. You can however lift the phone receiver attached to the base unit and one of the phone receivers attached to the extension unit simultaneously for 3-way conversations. If you plan to use the wireless jack for a phone or fax machine do not plug this device into a wall socket that is too near electrical lines or devices. You will receive a lot of static interference and the performance of the phone jack will degrade over time. Apart from these minor drawbacks the units are very cost effective, very portable, and function well over a long period of time. If you can handle a slow internet connection then this will work fine for the internet as well.

Summary: Caution - not compatible with RC 930 wireless modem system
Review: I wanted to add an additional extension to my RC 930 wireless modem. This was the only RCA extension unit that I could find so I ordered it. I now know that the RCA wireless phone and modem systems are not compatible. RCA confirmed this over the phone and also said that the modem extensions are not sold separately.

Summary: It works, but pick your use carefully
Review: I've been using a set of these for over a year, and they are a godsend but not perfect. The good news; I use it to connect my Tivo (Tivo needs to dial in every night to update its program data) and it was the perfect solution for a tough spot, since there's no phone jack anywhere near my television. I have also used it to surf the web with a dial-up connection, with no real problems. Its fine, even through an extension cord! The bad news; I've tried to use for a phone, and that rally didn't cut it. It worked, but its a bad connection. I couldn't tolerate it. So I dispute the earlier comment that it can't be used for data. For me, its only use is for data, not voice! For certain situations, its ideal.

Summary: Not a bad alternative to wiring a new phone
Review: This gizmo certainly solved my problem with not having a phone jack in a room that I needed one in. The only drawback I found was that it's NOT compatible with caller id. Otherwise the unit works great and has a good range from base to extension unit.

Summary: Warning: RCA RC 926 is discontinued!
Review: This is an EXTENSION that requires the RCA RC 926 jack system in order to operate, and if you search for it on Amazon, you will see it is discontinued. They will not be getting more in as I was told by Amazon customer service. So the only value of this is if you already have the full system. At the time I wrote this, the general rating was 3 stars, so I am only rating it 3 to keep my entry neutral. Just wanted to save you time and possible disappointment.

Summary: Buyer Beware!
Review: This is not the "system" as advertised- it is only an extension unit and cannot be used without purchasing an RCA Wireless Phone Jack System.

Summary: Good if you are only using for phones, not modems
Review: this little gizmo works fine for most phones but it DOES NOT work with phones with caller ID. Keep that in mind when you're considering a purchase. Works great with the others. Overall a nifty little device.

Summary: RC920 Wireless phone jack system.
Review: This system did not work for me. When I answer the phone it works for about a minute and then shuts off. The indicator lights on the base and extension are still on steady indicating the system is still on but no sound comes through. With the line still open, momentarily hanging up and picking up again restores operation but then it shuts down again in about ten seconds. I called their help hotline and after performing all their automated corrections with no results I got a live person. He didn't seem to know anything other than to send it to their repair station. But when two brand new units fail in exactly the same manner, it isn't a matter of repair.
