Summary: Buy at your own risk
Review: 1. Caller ID will not work unless you own all Siemens phones.
(problem known to Siemens, but they really don't care, or acknowledge this as a problem)
2. Battery life is the worst I've ever seen.
3. Customer support has been terrible.Other than that...a cool phone. If there was any way I could get my money back I would.

Summary: A lot of money for a poor product
Review: Don't buy this phone! We thought it was so great at first - being able to have a phone in our living room where there is no phone jack was worth the high price of the phones! It was well over $[money] for the base unit, then almost $[money] for the extra handset. We've only had the system about a year, and now all kinds of things are wrong. With both handsets, the conversation breaks up and people can't hear us. It seems to depend on how we hold the phone or if we touch the back of the phone during a conversation. How can you NOT touch the back? It's tricky, let me tell you! Also, the buttons are sticky now, not from sticky fingers - they just don't work well. We're thinking of looking for new phones this weekend, and that just hurts because of the $$ we put into this. Yuck. DON'T BUY THIS PHONE!

Summary: The Best Cordless Phone available today
Review: First of all I would like to say that I don't write reviews very often. But in this case I got striken by the number of the not so positive reviews for 2410 2.4GHz. I purchased this phone on an online auction for $90. I have used it for week and let me tell you: I am amazed. The phone combines a superb european design with high-end technology. The handset is small and very light but without the feeling of cheap plastic. Excellent materials overall. The sound is crisp clear. I didn't noticed any annoying noise as some reviewers have mentioned. The signal is still acceptable at about 250 ft from the house. My Caller ID works as before with no problems. It has features that you usually expect only in expensive cellular devices: -120 Name/Phone directory with alphabetical search -Ability to save records directly from the Caller ID Log. -Ability to call back directly from your Caller ID Log in addition to the 5 last numbers advanced redial. -Soft Keys and an Impresive easily customized through menus handset. And most important the ability to add additional handsets as you go. All handsets are registered under the same base. So you can have your devices wherever you like in the house regardless of the telephone hook location. I think some bad reviews come from people that were very impatient to go carefully through the manual. Yes, you need to study a little bit to take full advantage of this product. I personally spend a couple of hours including the input of 40 frequently used numbers. This is not too bad after all...But if you are looking into something you can set up in 5', don't buy this phone. It's a very expensive phone and it's value is in these special features. If you don't wanna bother learning how to use them or you don't need them, then it's a waste of money. I have only one handset (planning to add one more) so I can't really speak about handset coordination problems that were found by others. Have a nice time looking for your new phone. But if you really want to see how most phones will look like in 5 years buy one from the Siemens Gigahertz series.

Summary: Don't buy this phone
Review: I agree with all the other negative reviews. I invested $400 to outfit my house with several of these phones 2 years ago. Only one is still working properly. Static, fuzzy calls. And the phones are not very durable. One drop and you're hosed.

Summary: Battery life and reception are terrible
Review: I got this a few months ago from another vendor, and it's a horrid phone. I live in an older (100-year-old) apartment, and you could hear static on the phone from the kitchen on the other end of the apartment. Not precisely what I was expecting from a 2.4GHz phone! People could tell when I was wandering about the apartment. And then the batteries started dying. I used to have a VTech analog digital, and after about 3 years the batteries started only giving me like 4-5 hours of use. At this point, I'm lucky if I have time to check my voice mail before my batteries completely die! I'm sorry, but that's just horrible performance.

Summary: Don't buy this phone
Review: I had such high hopes for this phone. It looks nice, the satellite phone units are cool. Unfortunately, they just don't work. Siemens has had to replace it 4 times now, and it still keeps breaking--our voices keep breaking up and then people can't hear us at all (a problem with a phone, wouldn't you say?). This phone is a disaster.

Summary: For the love of god, do not buy this phone
Review: I have had nothing but reception problems with this system. I have to keep to handsets near me, just in case a bad channel clicks in when I start a conversation. My family members are begging me to by something different, but after spending $300 on a base and a couple of handsets, I am nervous about what to get next. Caller ID works about 50% of the time, and if you have another caller ID phone (I have an AT&T corded) it pretty much cuts that down to no CIDs coming through. Save your money, and hassle, and look elsewhere.

Summary: Great design but low battery time and interference
Review: I have had this for a few years. It is a great looking phone. Answering machine is flawless...once you figure out how to use it...
Problem is battery life. Charge, charge and it still dies on a call. Plus it interferes with our wireless modenm so we unokug it while we are at home. That makes it a very expensive paperweight!

Summary: Stopped Working 9 Months After Buying
Review: I just got off hold for the second time with the customer service group at Siemens. The first time I was on hold for 45 minutes before I hung up out of disgust. It took them 15 minutes to pick up the second time. I am being sent a new handset free of postage. But I now have to reprogram all my friend's names and numbers into the new phone! UGH! Although I am getting a new handset, I am really disappointed in the quality of this phone. It worked great, and I had zero complaints about reception quality or phone quality up until two nights ago. The phone was stuck "on" and none of the buttons would work. I took the batteries out and now it won't turn back on. This shouldn't have happened after 9 months of careful use (i.e., I haven't abused it). I highly suggest that you think twice before purchasing this phone, especially seeing that customer service is hard to get on the line.
