I had a Uniden 900mhz digital answering service previously and liked it, but it had a few features which were inconvenient. The Memorex however, is simple to use and all of the annoyances of the Uniden are absent in the Memorex phone. And the price..you can't touch a phone with this many features for the money. A must for any family.

I've had AT&T, Cobra, and Sony cordless phones. I have been dissappointed in all of them to some degree. This phone has a quality feel that is amazing for the money. And good features too.

I have had good luck with Panasonic systems in the past. Unfortunately, Amazon was out of stock on the model I preffered. Because of the features, price and avg customer rating (full five stars when I purchased), I gave the Memorex a try. It has many nice features: clear display, easy to use base unit, the ability to use the handset and the base/speakerphone on the same call. The recorded sound was a bit muffled, for both the greeting and messages.

The big problem I had was a slight buzz that could be heard when you talked into the handset (not background noise), even after trying every channel and relocating the base. Nothing major, but once you notice it, you hear it all the time - and it gets very annoying. It may have been a defective phone, although I have seen similar comments on other brands. I ended up returning the unit and spending the extra $50 on a comparable Panasonic unit....which has performed very well.

I ordered this phone from Amazon.com a few weeks ago. I chose this module because of all the features it offered at a great price.

I was able to set up the system in minutes without continually checking the operating manual because the operating buttons are large and intuitive. I like that the Caller ID feature is in the phone and that the phone can be recharged by placing it face up or face down in the base unit.

I noticed a reviewer mentioned hearing background or buzzing sounds while using their phone. I have not encountered any similar problem. However, I did follow the operating manual's advice about where to place the phone to avoid such interference. This may be something you would want to look into if you do encounter background sounds.

I love this phone, the features, and the service offered by Amazon.com.

I just receive this telephone as a gift. The only thing I don't like, neither my wife, is that we can not monitor a new call from the handset. The previous answering machine we had, Bell Atlantic, we were able to monitor and either answer or let the machine pick-up. We do like all the other features this machine has.

First the good stuff. It's a great value for the price. The call waiting feature works well, and the sound quality has been fine for me. The answering machine was easy to set up and is easy to use. It's nice that you can have names for people in your speed dial list so you don't have to make a list or remember all the number.

Now, the minor nits... I wish you could check the answering machine from the phone. The process for entering the names of the people for speed dial is very time consuming (although you can grab them from your caller id list). The ringer on the base station is very loud and you can't turn it down (however, the phone also rings, and you can control the volume there). None of these really bother me on a day to day basis, but they are why I give it 4 stars instead of 5.

I purchased this phone because I wanted a relatively simple and reliable cordless phone/answering system with good sound quality. I found that the answering system is easy to use and the sound quality is acceptable (although not excellent). I was very disappointed with the sound quality of the phone itself, however. Like another reviewer, I could hear a very noticable and annoying distortion in the sound which in my case occurs whenever the other party is speaking. This problem showed up after about a month of use. I tried the tricks of changing channels and moving the phone location, to no avail. The phone is currently on its way to Memorex for repair. Based upon this experience, I would not recommend this phone to a friend.

I love this phone. Built in Caller ID is really cool and the answering machine works smoothly. I recommend for everyone to buy this phone!

I had a VTech phone and only used it for a year before the answering machine went bad. This phone is wonderful. It is a great price for all the features!

I was happy with this cordless phone. I've found this item easy to use and very intuitive to setup. I like the fact that the base unit does not ring, and the phone has nice adjustable rings at differing tones, as well as an OFF. When at considerable distance from base unit, such as the garage and my mailbox by the street, the voice quality is still excellent (although it will at times pick up the kids' voices when they are yelling).
