 You would have to pay me to keep this phone set!!! October 12, 2008

Static & whooshing noise, range is non-existent, phone beeps & drops calls in the next room, volume control & ringer volume are so difficult to control, you either can't hear the voice or it's too loud & when they ring loudly they sound like a fire alarm! Caller ID reads 1 missed call instead of name & number until you press buttons to expose name & by that time it's too late to answer it. If you answer on phone #1 & call is for another person in the home, you have to know if they have phone #2 or #3 in their hand, then press select & the number of the phone they have!! So you have to yell out "what # phone do you have?" they have to answer you then you have to transfer by pressing select & the correct phone # since two phones are dead when you answer one! Did I lose you yet? I'm returning these horrific phones tomorrow. I unfortunately purchased a set for my mom as well, never opened that box & they're going back too, quicker than you can say "these phones bleep!"
Awful! July 31, 2008

The phone was cheap...and now I know why! Crazy beeping, loud static and short battery life. Don't waste your money on this phone.
I'm throwing it out March 11, 2008

We bought this phone b/c a previous vtech phone served us well. This one, however is just missing too many key features that I took for granted. For instance, there is no speaker phone feature (was great for when I was put on hold) and the ringer volume control only works if you press it WHILE the phone is ringing, and then resets to "loud" for the next call - in my house the phone keeps waking up the baby and I can't set any handset or the base to silent mode. Also, switching to pick up call waitibg is a crapshoot, you never know if you will disconnect one or both people. If you want a totally stripped down phone, this might work for you. For anyone else, it's a step down.
 I'm Suprised at the bad reviews! March 1, 2008

I bought this phone for my sister for a gift, then bought it for ourselves because it is so convenient and easy to use! I can't believe the bad reviews. We (including my sister) have never experienced any of the problems previously mentioned. It sounds great, has a long battery life (I've left it on my desk over night and gone to work and when I come home, I'm still able to talk for a couple hours) The only thing I don't like about it is you can't have one person talking on one hand-set and have another be able to share the same call on another handset. But other than that, this phone is the best phone I've ever purchased! We love it! Of course, we don't have anything wireless in the house, and the sets are not next to computers, microwaves or anything else that might interfere with performance. I'm thinking if the other people who had problems moved the phone away from those sources, they might have better luck with this phone. Like I said, it's a GREAT phone! I highly recommend it!
 Works as a phone, that's about it February 18, 2008

We have not had the problems that the other people have listed above, where the phone just does not work (even though we have a wireless network as well).
However, we have had a consistent battle with the caller ID. We have DirectTV, and the receivers pick up the caller ID before the phone. Actually, most time the caller ID never comes up before the message kicks off.
