(More customer reviews)I'm reposting this review from Philips CD1551B/37 Expandable Digital Cordless Phone with Digital Answering Machine because I'm not sure of the differences between the /37 and /23 models.
I've owned this phone for 4 months now and I regret it. It was a gift from our wedding registry and I feel bad for the family member that had to pay money for this.
My number one complaint about this phone is the fact that it's *very* difficult to hear anything through the ear piece. I'm 28 with pretty good hearing and if you have any background noise it's a struggle to hear them speaking. Even with the volume at maximum it's still very low. The workaround I use is to always enable speakerphone as it's actually quite loud. Though this is pretty unacceptable as the speakerphone picks up so much ambient noise that the person on the other end has a hard time hearing me.
My next complaint is the caller ID feature on the phone. For some reason there's no way to view the entire caller ID name if it's a longer name or a business name. I'll come home to a missed call but no way to view the entire name, only a portion of it. Tapping the scroll arrow on the phone doesn't allow it to show the entire name!
My last complaint (as if any more were needed) is that the remote answering machine system is broken. When I call in and enter my password half of the time it'll be silent then hang up. The other half of the time it'll playback a message but then stop responding to my button presses and hang up. It's very frustrating to use and so I've stopped checking my housephone for voicemails.
Overall this phone is ridiculously frustrating. Stay away from this one!
