Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This 27907 phone set is the best I could find for my 91-yr-old mother, now technically challenged like many her age. It has been so successful that after a year with only the 27907, she ordered an accessory handset, so if she forgets to charge it there will be another ready and waiting, and so that an emergency phone can be put in the bathroom. One reviewer couldn't find an accessory handset; its model number is 27918, and amazon.com lists several. Nearly all the negative reviewers' issues are addressed by careful reading of the instruction booklet. It does have a lot of "bells and whistles" but Mother just disregards the unwanted ones. To avoid taking her hearing aid out, rather than putting the phone against her ear, she presses the speaker button when she answers instead of the talk button. (To disconnect, you press whichever one you last used; if you press the other it switches to that mode.) The 4 volume levels default to the last setting, and there is an additional white button against the dark handset color to boost the volume further; that this white button has to be pushed each time the phone is answered instead of defaulting to it is my only criticism. I have found that callers who are not clearly audible (1) have inferior handsets themselves, (2) are calling from remote mountain-locked areas, or (3) both. It is possible to make the phone announce aloud the numbers as you dial. The reason this review sounds like an instruction manual is that some of the reviewers objected to things that were in the booklet (available at www.thephoneresource.com if it's lost), and I believe these negative reviews have left an unjustifiably bad impression of a tool that has proven nearly ideal for an elderly person with handicapping hearing and vision problems. As hard as I searched before I bought this, I would have appreciated there being more positive ratings and detailed positive reviews; I bought 27907 with trepidation because of negative reviews, but the phone has been even better than I dared hope.
