Phonemate PMP-3815BK 2.4GHz Cordless Phone

Summary: PhoneMate... If that means it sits next to your real phone.
Review: Bought the pumped up version of this phone with the speakerphone base. The Screen stoped working after about four months. You can't see anything so you never know what number you are dialing. Now it freezes up and I have to pull out the battery just to get it functioning again. Plus the whole thing is made of cheap plastic I will never buy a product from this company again their purpose certainly is not quality.

Summary: Fails in every respect as a telephone.
Review: I purchased two of these phones for my roomates as Christmas gifts. First of all, the range is terrible, secondly once you get beyond 20 feet WITHOUT obstructions there is a discernable amount of static. The components of this phone are very low quality, the phone feels as if it has no substance, and it clicks while in the charging base.

Review: I received this Phonemate (made and/or distributed by TT Systems) as a gift. After using it for about ten weeks I can report that any of the other negative comments about this product are understatements. Even when new the sound quality on the receiving end was lacking in range and volume. After about 6 weeks the phone developed static that started off low and rose to a crescendo that sounded like a lighting storm in the earpiece, occasionally punctuated with screeching noises. Chaning the channel does not alleviate this problem, nor does coming closer to the base. A slap to the headset though, does quiet it down for a brief respite. All in all a thoroughly unsatisfactory piece that has been replaced with a Panasonic 900 mHz KX-TC 1486 which is a true delight.

Review: Looked like a good choice to try for an inexpensive phone with a nice design. I've had it about a week. I've asked every person I've spoken to how it sounds on the other end, and ALL have said it sounds loud and clear. Some questioned whether it was wireless or not. The problem is that on MY end of the line there is always static...a LOT of static. I've had other phones in the same spot for years, analog, 900mhz, etc... I've NEVER had ANY static on the line. There are times that I'm yelling at the other person, "If you can hear me, I can't hear you! No, this is not a cell phone. I know you hear me perfectly, it's not the connection...I got a new phone and I'll be returning it ASAP but I'm waiting for another one to arrive first.
If one of the things you use the phone for is speaking to other people, this is not the model for you.
