1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Phone, July 19, 2003

By 

Joe (Upstate, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Conair CID400 Clock Radio Phone with Caller ID (Gray) (Office Product)

I purchased this phone/radio/clock combo for my mother and after the first few uses, it was returned. It's a good concept for those who have limited space, but poorly executed. The most glaring problem is that the radio will bleed into your calls. It isn't very loud, but you can hear talking and music very faintly in the background when the radio is supposed to be off. The radio reception itself is horrible and the speaker is not very good. There are buttons on each side of the phone that set various functions like volume control. Those were very loose and could probably snap off with ease after some use. The only thing good I can say about this is that the phone will work if the power goes out. Plugging it into an outlet is only needed for the radio, clock and caller ID functions. In fact, the phone works best if it's not plugged in; which seems to prevent the radio signal bleeding in. However, that goes against how this product is supposed to work. You're better off getting a lower priced corded phone and a separate clock/radio instead.

1.0 out of 5 stars Double Buyers Remorse, May 21, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Conair CID400 Clock Radio Phone with Caller ID (Gray) (Office Product)

I say double buyers remorse because I bought two of these phones for Christmas one for me and one for my mother. Both worked fine for a while and then they both started to act up. Mine started acting up first it started having an erratic display and the radio would come on by itself. Then my mothers started having a squealing sound come from her phone. Neither one of the phones has lived up to having the proper caller id function either as we have other caller ids that work much better than these phones. The company does give good repair service though and they are prompt about repairing their products. You do have to pay a five dollar fee though to get the product repaired. I hope this review was helpful to you.

1.0 out of 5 stars waste of money, May 22, 2003

This review is from: Conair CID400 Clock Radio Phone with Caller ID (Gray) (Office Product)

This product is the absolute pits. The audio is harsh and definitely unpleasant. When using the phone you can hear the radio in the handset even though the radio if off. As for the lighted radio dial........forget it. The dial has a narrow vertical slot through which a very dim LED lights. Since the dial markings are on either side of this slot, its impossible to see what station your trying to locate. Additionally, the caller ID display is also hard to see even if the contrast is adjusted to your liking. The brightness of the called ID display as depicted in the ad is misleading at best. Avoid this product at all costs. Believe me you won't be satisfied with it.
