Summary: A phone that does the job
Review: This phone works.. It does what it says it does. The phone itself is uncomfortable on the ear after about 15 minutes. A headset would be better. The speaker places too much of your own voice (the microphone) in the mix. When speaking your voice sounds like it has a slight delay on it (milliseconds). Its just enough to make it sound like you are talking into a hollow metal box. It is very unpleasing to my ears. However, a friend talked into it and said "wow, that sounds good!". So, there is a "like-able" quality to the sound, apparently. There are some nice features that I like about this phone. You can type in a phone number and edit it on the LED display and then hit talk (like the 'send' button on cell phones). It also has the ability to pick up the incoming call from when you pick the handset up from the base or after the handset is picked up you can hit the TALK button. This is so you can check the caller id first (if you have caller id). The call waiting caller id is nice too (although you have to order these "features" through your phone company). The phone has enough options that cover most needs for a family household telephone. Since I found the phone on clearance...I am giving it 4 stars...
