I bought this phone at what I thought was a bargain price a while back, but it turns out I got what I paid for. The phone worked alright for several months. A little echo on the sound quality, but otherwise decent--until it just stopped working. The base charges the phone, and indicates it is charged. But the phone no longer responds.

Don't be lured in by the affordable price, sometimes you really do get what you pay for! I recently bought this phone, and will be returning it as soon as possible. The reception is awful, it breaks up 2 rooms away from the base, and has static even when standing near the base. Worse yet, I have missed calls waiting for the phone to find a channel after trying to pick up an incoming call. Poor performance, cheap feel and plain design. Uugghh.

I had never heard of IBM phones previously. Believe me, I would buy or reccomend one to anyone now. Very good clarity, dependable with transmissions and pick-up. This replaces a phone of a different brand that I was never happy with.

I thought I was getting a brand name at a great price. Unfortunately the sound quality is so bad that we only use the phone for the caller id. Worst phone that I've ever owned.

I bought this phone at a local retail establishment and have hated it since I bought it. From day one the phone picked up a lot of static and interference when I was on a call. Occassionally it would clear up for a moment or two, but no more than that. Apparently callers could hear me fine, but I could not hear them at all. I also do not like that the keypad does not illuminate which makes it very hard to use at night or in a dark room.

The phone seems nice, until someone runs the microwave, then you can't hear a thing the person is saying! Otherwise I think it's a good buy for the buck, just keep the base away from the kitchen!
