I used one of these for about 2 years before a lightning strike finally gave it a death blow. The phone, as designed, has serious deficiencies. As claimed, you can dial up the volume, but it is not clearer as advertised. Think in terms of a very cheap speaker turned up to high volume. The louder it is the more difficult it is to understand.

The answering macine barely worked when it was new. Messages were often garbled to the point of not being understandable. A glaring design flaw is that there is no way to pick up your calls from a remote location. You can't call in and get your messages. You have to go to where the phone is located to hear the messages. This falls into the realm of, "what were they thinking,' when they designed the answering system. What if you're 500 miles away and want to call in for your messages?

It has large buttons, which is a good thing, however, they are more difficult to push down than other phones.

Look elsewhere for a phone and anwsering system. This phone has a high price for what is really a very cheaply built product. Amazon is to be commended for not having this product available (as of this writing). I expect that most would be returned.

1.0 out of 5 stars Major Design Flaws, July 13, 2007

The buttons are huge, but if you press them anywhere but in the exact center they don't work. Talk about frustrating! Also, the other reviewer was dead-on: sound quality is terrible. Plus, the answering machine cuts off phone messages after ten seconds.

I bought this for my in-laws since it had all the features that they wanted. But it is not a good quality phone and I have found another one with more features that works much better. The problem is the amplification is not clear, plus the phone is not of good quality so it doesn't always work well even when not amplifying the sound. Look for the uniden phone that has all these features and a wireless phone too.
