I wish I hadn't bought this

 

I wish I hadn't bought this

I bought this unit in a package with 2 additional handsets. While I gave the unit two stars, I'd lower that to one star if you intend to expand to additional handsets. For starters, the quality is horrendous. The first time I replaced the batteries...

2 1/2 Year Shelf Life

 

2 1/2 Year Shelf Life

We got this phone when we moved to a new house with only three phone jacks. The battery life has been great, as long as we put the cordless phones on the docks. The PhoneBook feature is fantastic. BUT...now I have lost use of the ON and OFF buttons...

Piece of junk.

 

Piece of junk.

The phone systematically fell apart. One handset at a time. The base phone did not break, but was of questionable quality.

OK - not great

 

OK - not great

I thought the quality on my phone was just fine, but the battery didn't last (replaced it in you can adjust each handset to high, medium, low, off, or a different ring. Each handset adjusts separately (my bedroom is on low, my family room is on high)....

solid base with bad handsets

 

solid base with bad handsets

We got this phone (base with two handsets) three years ago for close to $150. The reception was good, the base is solid. We love the walkie-talkie feature. But as many reviewers said the phonebook is annoying, no search function at all. That's not the...

Worst phone ever

 

Worst phone ever

This is absolutely the worst phone we've ever owned. The sound quality is terrible and the battery loses it's charge in just a few hours. Do not buy this phone. We're now looking for new phones to replace these.

solid phone but NOT wall mountable

 

solid phone but NOT wall mountable

This is an easy to use, reasonably well made phone but do not buy it if you want to wall mount it. It is advertised as being wall mountable but the wall mount is the cheesiest thing I've ever seen. The phone doesn't hang on the wall, it juts out...
