Summary: Stop Searching, You Have Found The One
Review: This is the 2nd time that I've felt compelled to write a review on a product. I had a 900 mhz panasonic for over 10 years... so naturally I went and bought another one. What a piece of junk. I've tried several of the 2.8 mhz phones ALL of them had static on the line when I was more than 10 feet from the base.

This phone was different. I bought it because of the good reviews that it had. I can go throughout my house, from room to room without having to change channels. I do not have any hint of static. The reception is perfectly clear.

I only write 2 kinds of reviews either 1 star or 5. This is definately a 5 star phone.

Summary: Do Not recommend
Review: We purchased this phone and have never been happy with it from day one. First of all, the volume is really low on this phone, even with the volume all the way up, it is still hard to hear the person you are talking to. Second, the range on this phone is really poor, we can only get about 30 feet away from the base before it begins to break up. We are ditching the phone and getting something else.



Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Range is limited, lots of static
Review: We tried out a Panasonic 2.4GHz phone before this one, and it had range and static problems too. This phone is quite clear within about 40-50 feet of the base, but in our house this doesn't take you far. Get beyond that range, and you might be able to find a position in which to hold the phone that it's not staticky, but if you move a couple inches, you get static again.

Another nit: the memory dial only stores 20 digits, which isn't enough to program an MCI calling card, for example.

We're going to try the AT&T 5830 next, and we'll see how that works.
