I have this phone and am in the process of getting another one like it. We dropped it and messed up the caller ID. The phone still works great. My mom lives next door, about 400 ft away and I take my phone with me to her house and can still answer and make calls with great sound. I have purchased two other different cordless phones with caller ID to replace this one but have taken them both back because the phones have so much static. My sister in law has even asked me to get on my old phone so she can here me better. I can't wait untill i can get a new one just like this one. It is by far the best cordless phone i have found.

This product is not bad. BAttery lasts long enough for a 2 hour conversation. Sound is not bad and The telephone has good features!

We got this phone... a few months back, and I've regretted it ever since! It looks nice, is comfortable to the ear, and the clip is definately conventient, but this phone is really a piece of junk! The sound is bad. We have the base in our kitchen and when we have the dishwasher on, or the dogs walk through the dog door, you can actually hear it over the phone, like somehow the speaker is on on the base, when it's not. There's a lot of interference and echo, the person you're talking to sounds like he's/she's miles away. It wasn't bad at first, but it's gotten worse over the weeks. The worst thing is the muting. It'll mute out multiple times in a conversation. You know how most phones have a "Mute" button on them? Well, I have yet to find one on this one, but that doesn't keep it from doing it. I'll be in the middle of a converstaion with someone when, all of a sudden, it'll just mute me out. To the person on the other line, it sounds like you hung up. You can hear everything the other person is saying, but they can't hear you. It's a nightmare, especially if it happens after you've been holding for 20 minutes and finally get through to the person you want to speak with, only to have it mute out and the other party, thinking you hung up, hangs up on you! There's no rhyme or reason to it; sometimes you can get through a whole conversation without it happening (though that's rare), and sometimes it'll happen 3 or 4 times in 20 minutes. A mute out usually only lasts 4-7 seconds, but it can go on longer. I thought at first this was a defect in my phone only, but my uncle, who bought the same one at around the same time, has the same exact problems!

Save your money and your frusteration. If you need another phone, do yourself a favor and don't go with this one!

We are happy with the shipping. It arrived in good shape.
We are having a problem with out telephone wires at the moment so havent got to use the new phone much but it is a replacement for the exact same model that we had for years and just loved.
It could be this puzzling phone line problem that led us to purchase this phone thinking the old one was bad but we will use it just the same.
