    Amazing Clarity – a perfect phone, August 26, 2009

    We got this phone specifically because we needed an expandable system that didn’t have an answering machine. Voice mail is included in our phone company bundle, so we were unwilling to pay the extra cost for an answering machine. This phone is very easy to work with, very intuitive both in terms of operation and menu access. The phone feel very solid, though we’ve only had it for two weeks now. But after trying V-Tech, GE and UNIDEN, this seems to be the most physically resilient of them all.

    But the #1 feature of this phone – the clarity. With both 2.4 and 5.8 GHz phones, we had a lot of interference and a lot of static. With this phone, I can walk to any part of the house – even a few houses down, and still hear just as well as if I were talking on a wired phone.

    I can recommend this system whole-heartedly – ignore the 3-star review of this product, as it specifically states the reason for the 3 stars is the lack of an answering system. As mentioned above, that’s the very reason I bought this phone. AT&T makes another model WITH and answering system, so if that’s what you need, get that one. But if, like me, you have no use for it, you will be very happy with this phone.

    We’ve had the phone about a month, having chosen it after reading reviews here and on [...]. I’m pleased, as sound quality and range are vastly better than older phones. Haven’t run out of battery yet, but we keep it in the cradle. Another plus: despite the large buttons, this thing actually looks pretty good in a room. One minus: the thin shape makes it extremely hard to cradle between your neck and shoulder; you really need to keep this in your hand, especially as there’s no jack for a headset. But, hey, it’s fifty bucks for two phones (maybe cheaper by the time you read this), and they they work. No complaining.
