Just went and bought this phone today after considerable research. And so far it is meeting expectations.
My needs in order of priority:
1. No electrical hookup - should run off phone line, like all old analog phones
2. Need speaker phone for occasional conference calls
3. Need Caller ID to screen calls.
4. Nice to have - programmable phone number bank
5. Ringer control - should be able to turn off ringer or make it go to visual
6. Should be able to put caller on hold or mute.
7. No answering machine needed
Needless to say - this was the only phone I found which could meet all of the above. The need to have one phone in the house which can be used if the electricity is off just made all the other phones miss out in some other aspects in the list above. Mostly they wouldnt have caller ID. All these features in this phone work on 4 -AA batteries and we will see how the consumption rate on that is.
It was easy to setup, though the wall mount , did have an issue with the hook for the handset. It just wouldnt slide out.... had to bring the screw driver and pry it loose.
Next, I will programme the frequently dialed numbers and see how that goes. It seems fairly easy from the instruction book.
So far I have tested the speakerphone and the handset - the sound quality is great! Our previous phone was introducing a lot of static in the calls, so this is a good replacement and I am happy with the price. ANd we have freed up one of the electrical sockets as this needs no electric connection!!

Great Phone - More Features than Promised

This is a great phone for those of us who still like to have a corded phone in the house. Everything was as advertised, except that it has a 25 number programmable directory in addition to the 14 "one touch" numbers. The online description and the package information fail to mention this great feature. I was almost ready to spring for the next model which for twice the price promised a 50 number directory.
I also like AT&T's caller ID software that can be set up to know whether incoming calls need 7, 10, or 11 digits for a call back. Some other phones make you toggle through the 7, 10, and 11 digit options woth the # key before you can call back. |
Speakerphone Caller-ID rocks it!

I love this phone! The shape of it wasn't my favorite, but we picked it for the features, reliable brand, and inexpensive price.
It's been working great for us. I've been pleasantly surprised that the ringer (when set on low) is very unobtrusive.
The only thing that isn't perfect is when programming the phone, it isn't completely intuitive how to program it (it could be easier).
For the price, features (speaker, caller ID, etc.), and general function, I'd say I'm very satisfied. |

| This is a great phone for when the electric goes off or just about any time. |
Good Phone for Me

| This phone is used as a part-time at-home office phone tied into my home phone line. I bought it primarily because my old phone's caller ID quit working. I like the speaker phone, programmable numbers, a pleasant, not too loud ring, and if my husband is using the upstairs phone, my caller ID screen says "Line In Use" and a soft light comes on to alert me not to pick up. The handset is comfortable to hold. However, voices seem kind of soft, not sharp, but maybe that's just me, and it's not really a problem. Haven't used other features such as Hold and Mute yet. Didn't want an answering machine attached and this phone fit the bill. Nicely affordable, too. |
