Summary: Can't use in Kitchen
Review: After having three phones from Southwestern Bell and having problems with all three, I was told by their customer service reps that their phones don't work in the kitchen. That's seens funny. Where do most people have their phones. The battery doesn't stay charged, there are moments when it just cuts out for a couple seconds, and the volume is bad even when you turn it all the way up.

Summary: I want my old phone back.....
Review: Bad reception seems to be a common complaint for cordless telephones. I simply don't understand why cellular phones have better reception than cordless phones within a small, enclosed space.
The reception for this phone is shoddy, plagued by interference no matter which channel I switch to. The people on the other end of the phone sound very far away and "tinny". Setting the date and time on the phone is difficult. Don't bother trying to set the date/time for the handset, you can't, although you can for the base. It displays the wrong time and date until you receive a caller ID phone call.
Unlike other cordless phones I've owned, you can't choose the ring tone. You also must wait through a very long introduction until you can record an outgoing greeting. Each time you try to record it, it states "To record a new greeting, press and hold the greeting button. Please continue to hold the greeting button until you have finished recording your outgoing greeting". The phone also beeps very LOUDLY when you press the talk button, either to answer to hang up a call.
While I realize that the phone is inexpensive for an all-in-one cordless, digital answering machine, caller id unit - it's not worth the price I paid for it. I could have spent more and had a really nice phone. I don't recommend purchasing this item.

Review: I expect quality transmission in a phone and from day one with this model it has been a lose lose situation for me and the person I am talking to. The person on the other end always says the same thing - "you sound really far away or I can barely hear you". For me, there is a continuous hiss and an echo when I speak. Despite the sticking key pad, our old Panasonic cordless is superior to this phone. For now, I dial out using the new phone and conduct the call on the old phone. I still need a new phone - the Soutwestern Bell phone has got to go! It's too late for me, but save yourself the headache (literally from all the hiss in your ear) and select another cordless phone.

Summary: Nice functionality, Too much Noise
Review: The system has a good deal of functions, all of which are easily mastered from the manual. (My cell phone had more features, but using most of those require pressing several keys.)The BAD - Too much noise: 1. Sound of the other person gets noise.
2. User's own sound is partially reflected back from the ear-speaker!
3. Base has a continuous background "hisss" that is there even when the phone is not in use!! I returned the phone just for that reason.

Review: Using this phone has been a frustrating experience. I initially liked it because of the wall mount and the way it tilts back for holding the handset. After that there are no redeeming features. People on the other end always said we sounded far away or they could barely hear us. On the receiving end, we experienced a lot of background interference - hissing, echo, and word cut off. I tried two of these and got the same result. It's too late for me, but save yourself the headache (literally from all the noise). I'm going to live with the sticky keypad on my old Panasonic and put it back into service until I find something else.

Summary: Terrible Beeping Noises
Review: We bought the phone yesterday for what we thought was a good deal. Unfortunately, this phone is the noisiest phone I've ever tried. Dialing means you have to incur an annoying clicking sound, and hanging up involves a loud beep. Simply putting the phone on the base requires earplugs. Returning this sucker tomorrow.
