Great service from the vendor. The phone is what I had expected, since I have the base station. It is stylish, and the call quality is good. Just like the phone on the base station, the readout has somewhat small numbers, and lacks the intensity and brightness of newer DECT phones, such as a color display one from Philips that I also own.

I do recommend this product.

Call the Customer Service line. I see several reviews where the phone couldn't register with the base and I was lucky enough to have the same problem. So I called Thomson customer service, not really expecting very much (I even had the Amazon return policy on my computer while on the phone.) Much to my surprise they were actually helpful. I did what they told me to do and it worked. If you have the same problem this is all you have to do:
Make sure to do these steps in order!
1. Unplug the power to the base phone.
2. Unplug the phone line to the base phone.
3. Remove the batteries from the extension.
4. Wait 15 minutes.
5. Now reassmble in the reverse order (ie. Reinstall the batteries, etc.)
6. Follow the directions to register the extension phone.
This worked for me, I hope this is helpful for you.
I give this product 4/5 stars because it wasn't ready to register right out of the box. The phone performs exceptionally well and I would give it 5 stars otherwise.

1.0 out of 5 stars Flimsy and nearly unusable, May 27, 2009

While I have no complaints with the primary handset/base-station, this secondary handset/base-station is very flawed. The catch between the base and handset is designed in such a way that the angle at which you mount the handset to the base has to be perfect or the handset will not catch onto the base and will fall down. Compounding the problem is the fact that the base is a light flimsy piece of plastic that, if not secured to a wall, will likely be just pushed around on the table surface when attempting to mount the handset. It is extremely frustrating to say the least.
