Summary: Low Battery Life
Review: Do not buy this phone. After 2 months of using the phone, the battery life has deterioriated to 15 minutes of talk time - even after charging it all night. The answering machine is not user friendly. To remove a message, you have to do it before it ends.

Summary: Good Phone - Love Telezapper
Review: I bought this after my Sony phone of 10 years finally bit the dust. I searched Consumer Reports and this one was rated well. The sound reception is ok - a little static. The Telezapper feature is wonderful - we eliminated 99% of our junk calls in about 2 weeks. The talk/stand by time is not very long and the warning for battery is quick. The base unit does not display number of calls and you cannot skip through calls, but has great sound. The handset is comfortable and easy to use. Over all a good buy if you are not a "gadgets" person who needs bells a whistles. Good basic cordless phone w/ answerer.

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. YOU WILL LIVE TO REGRET IT.
Review: I never use my home phone. Aside for checking messages. This item did that reasonably well. When I actually got around to answering calls in person I found out how bad this phone really is. Every time I answered the home I get that wierd "line is disconnected" sound. In addition it has really awful feedback. It also cuts in and out like a really bad cell phone. This is quite simply a piece of junk.
