Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Overall, this seems to be an excellent system.
First, let me correct a few inaccuracies in the other reviews.
Mr. Mehlman states that you can't repeat or skip messages in the answering system remotely. The manual clearly states that you can. He also claims that you can't play back messages from the cordless handsets, but the manual also says that is possible.
Mr. Szymonik and Mr. Doumet both claim that you can't transfer phone directories between the base and handsets, but I have done just that.
What don't I like? First, there are no voicemail boxes in the answering system. Each line can answer separately, but you can't have boxes for different people on the same phone line.
Second, while you can control the ringing frequency and volume for calls placed to different lines and the intercom, you can't change the ringing pattern. I would like one long ring for Line #1, two short rings for Line #2, and three shorter rings for the Intercom, for example.
Third, the desk unit handset is so sleek and rounded that it's difficult to hold between your ear and shoulder.
Fourth, the phone's user interface isn't intuitive at times or even consistent. For example, to add a new entry to the directory or send the directory, you hit the Dir button, then have to select a name, then scroll through the action list to find the appropriate action. Selecting a name should not be required for global actions.
As another example, to page another intercom station from the handset, the menu shows the extension number and part of the name, but to send a directory to another station, you must enter the number without seeing the names.
However, except for the lack of voicemail boxes, these are fairly minor issues, and should not detract from the review.
