I bought this worthless piece of equipment because it was on sale and I wanted a phone with more than one handset. I had not planned to buy a phone that day or else I would have done more thorough research. I simply got it in the midst of holiday shopping as an afterthought. I'LL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!! I've had nothing but trouble with this phone for the little time I've had it. An important feature for me--and I'm sure for others as well--is the ability to use the Caller ID list to return calls. I try not to keep lots of numbers in my head and so being able to look at the Caller ID list and hitting the dial button is a must. On this phone however, ou can rarely if ever, get it to dial the number called from the Caller ID as the numbers don't "go through". In other words, it doesn't "count" or recognize the numbers and so you get that annoying "you need to dial the area code" message. Then there's the static and overall shoddy mechanics of the phone. Half of the time I can't go from room to room while using the phone because the static is so bad that the person on the other end can't hear what I'm saying. Simply put, this phone is totally worthless and a waste of money at any cost!! From now on I do research before I buy anything with moving parts--no matter how few those parts are!!!

The other comments about static and low range were proven by my experience with this phone. I have used other VTECH phones with great success. Unfortunately this is not true for this model.

Static & whooshing noise, range is non-existent, phone beeps & drops calls in the next room, volume control & ringer volume are so difficult to control, you either can't hear the voice or it's too loud & when they ring loudly they sound like a fire alarm! Caller ID reads 1 missed call instead of name & number until you press buttons to expose name & by that time it's too late to answer it. If you answer on phone #1 & call is for another person in the home, you have to know if they have phone #2 or #3 in their hand, then press select & the number of the phone they have!! So you have to yell out "what # phone do you have?" they have to answer you then you have to transfer by pressing select & the correct phone # since two phones are dead when you answer one! Did I lose you yet? I'm returning these horrific phones tomorrow. I unfortunately purchased a set for my mom as well, never opened that box & they're going back too, quicker than you can say "these phones bleep!"
