Description:

The Sony SPP-SS965 900 MHz digital spread spectrum cordless telephone with speakerphone and caller ID offers features that are clearly designed for your convenience and to make your busy life a little easier. The phone is also stylish and sturdy with a base that can be wall-mounted or placed on any flat surface.

The SPP-SS965 includes a keypad on the base for quick dialing with the speakerphone. You can place and answer calls from the base even if you can't find the handset. If you need to locate the handset, however, the intercom button on the base pages the handset with a continuous ring, making it easy to find.

The SPP-SS965 displays caller ID information on both the base and the handset, so you'll always know who's calling before you answer. The caller ID memory can store up to 20 names and phone numbers. With the jog dial feature, you can browse through the list of callers in the caller ID log, or you can access up to 50 speed-dial numbers in the phone's directory. The jog dial is a small wheel on the side of the handset, and in our tests, all of its functions were intuitive and easy to learn. For faster dialing, there are three one-touch presets, perfect for emergency phone numbers. The Sony SPP-SS965 also has a two- way intercom that allows you to talk between the handset and the base--great for communicating with family members who may wander off with the phone.

In our tests, the SPP-SS965 sounded very good. Although its digital spread spectrum technology provides a longer range and better sound quality than other types of 900 MHz cordless phones, we were disappointed that the handset maintained its best quality only within about 40 feet. Overall, however, this high-performance device from Sony has a wealth of features that will simplify your life. -- Megan Dugan
