Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm very pleased with this phone!
I got this phone about a week ago. At first, I only bought the base station (includes a handset) and one external handset. Two days ago I went back for two more handsets. I also bought a base station plus three external handsets for my folks. The price is incredible! The base + three external handsets cost about what the base alone will cost you on a Panasonic.
Directory:
* when you store a phone number from any handset, it is accessible from all handsets (shared phone directory)
* no "speed-dial" -- I have not found anyway to have 1-digit dialing. You have to look it directory entries up by name, you can't just press a "speed dial number"
* you can store phone numbers directly from the Caller ID
* I can't comment about the 10-digit dialing issue mentioned in another review. We have 10-digit dialing, so I'm happy
* I don't know what will happen to the directory if there is a power failure
* has dial and "pre-dial" options. You can press the "Phone" button and dial (like a regular phone) or dial the number and then press the "Phone" button (like a cell phone)
Caller ID:
* is shared by all handsets -- when you review it, it updates the status on all phones
Handset extras:
* handsets have a jack for an external headset
* handsets have belt clip you can put on them
* handsets have a replaceable front cover (just the top part). Blue is standard, each comes with beige and gray
* each handset can dial either another handset or all the other handsets. You can name the handsets, so this allows you to call the "Steve" handset from the "Kitchen" handset. Just press the "Int" button, select the handset you want to call (or "All handsets"), press the "Phone" button, and it rings :)
Batteries:
* comes with NiMH batteries (this is much better than the nickel cadmium batteries most cordless phones come with, but not as good as the Lithium hydride batteries most cell phones come with)
Other comments:
* has "Auto Answer". Allows you to program the phone so you can pick up a ringing phone and just talk -- don't have to press any buttons
* ringer volume control -- select from about 6 levels
* ringer pattern -- select from about 8 ringer patterns. Can choose one pattern for external calls and another for internal calls (handset to handset)
* I did notice a lot of echo on the first call, but it went away and has not come back
* you can wall mount the base, but not the charger bases for the external handsets
