2.0 out of 5 stars Would be a great phone if it did not Auto-Disconnect, January 12, 2009

I purchased this product from another retailer at a great price, and was happy for only a short while.

The plus side: Great range, clear calls, excellent speakerphone, easy to use and set up, answering machine works fine.

The very bad: As other reviews on the internet have stated, this phone appears to have in inherent issue of losing connection with the base randomly and quite frequently. What does this mean? When you press the TALK button, it randomly might sound like a fax is transmitting, or there may be no dial tone at all. To fix, you must bring the phone to the base station, and use its menus to reestablish a connection. Not bad if the phone is near the base. A major pain if the phone is in a remote room. Also, when the phones are "disconnected" they will not ring, although the answering machine will pick up.

I had read the other reviews and figured it may be a random glitch that only happens to a few units. After my experience and troubleshooting, it seems the issue may affect all phones in this line.

BEWARE!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Phone System, November 16, 2008

By

(REAL NAME)   

Handsets were constantly having to search and reconnect to the base station (even in the middle of calls). Very unreliable. Some of the features were cool - i.e. listening to messages from any of the phones, but that does outweigh all of the bad.
