Memorex MPH6995 Cordless 900MHz Phone with Digital Answer Machine/Caller ID

Summary: The Buzzing is real!
Review: I purchased this phone because I wanted a relatively simple and reliable cordless phone/answering system with good sound quality. I found that the answering system is easy to use and the sound quality is acceptable (although not excellent). I was very disappointed with the sound quality of the phone itself, however. Like another reviewer, I could hear a very noticable and annoying distortion in the sound which in my case occurs whenever the other party is speaking. This problem showed up after about a month of use. I tried the tricks of changing channels and moving the phone location, to no avail. The phone is currently on its way to Memorex for repair. Based upon this experience, I would not recommend this phone to a friend.

Summary: Easy and intuitive to use.
Review: I was happy with this cordless phone. I've found this item easy to use and very intuitive to setup. I like the fact that the base unit does not ring, and the phone has nice adjustable rings at differing tones, as well as an OFF. When at considerable distance from base unit, such as the garage and my mailbox by the street, the voice quality is still excellent (although it will at times pick up the kids' voices when they are yelling).

Summary: Great phone
Review: I've had AT&T, Cobra, and Sony cordless phones. I have been dissappointed in all of them to some degree. This phone has a quality feel that is amazing for the money. And good features too.

Review: On May 31, 2001 we had a house fire which was contained to the attic of the house. Unfortuately the rest of the house was soaked including my telephone answering machine. The handset was full of water and the caller id area looked like a carpenter's level with water rolling around in it. For some reason I decided to pack the phone hoping for the best. While unpacking, after we rebuilt in March 2002, I found the phone and plugged it in overnight. To my surprise not only did the phone work but it retained the last 30 calls received on the caller id. I couldn't believe it! You have me hooked on your telephone products. No one could ask for more out of a product.
Thanks.
