NORTHWESTERN BELL Easy Touch 27600 Corded Phone and Answering Machine

Summary: Not user friendly
Review: This device is cumbersome and not easy to use. And if the power is out, basic phone functions do not work even though it's a corded phone.

You cannot set the volume control while listening to a message, it looses it's settings if there is a power glitch, even a small one. Very slow to respond to key functions.

I'll be purchasing another device or going to Verizon for vmail service. (God help me!)

Review: We really liked it at first, although the sound quality was never really good on the outgoing message or on the recorded messages. But we've only had it for a year now, and have to look at replacing at least the answering machine part. The recorded messages just started sounding quieter and quieter and now they are sometimes not audible at all. Ah, well, just after we bought it those audible caller id phones came out and I was kicking myself that we didn't have one of those, so here's my chance! :-)
