I think this phone is among the better I've had with regard to call quality. The battery life is ridiculously low, though. You can't put it next to your bed at night and expect it to still be charged when you wake up, which makes it pretty useless as a cordless phone. It might as well be corded if you have to put it back on the stand after every use.

UPDATE: After about a year of very occasional use, the battery would die immediately when I took it off the stand to answer it. I tried to return it to Amazon, but they were going to charge me a restocking fee, so I ended up just throwing it away. I tried to change my review to 1 star, but it won't let me.

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.

We ordered this phone after reading the reviews that sounded great. The phone stopped working after a month. It is not a good phone at all.

Like most technologically "advanced" products, it's put on the market before the bugs have been exterminated.

For example, the loudspeaker built into the back of this handset will only work sometimes after pushing its button multiple times. When it does work, it's great because then you can hear what's being said without having to hold the phone.

I'm not sure how reliable it is to keep a connection because I'm not on the phone often enough. There have been some rare occasions when a connection disappeared, but not often enough for me to want to risk having to pay the phone company to check whether it's their line or my phone.

The answering machine feature of this phone provides no way of recording the time that incoming messages are recorded. I suspected that when researching to compare phones for purchase. Not having the time when people have called is quite annoying, especially when most people correctly assume that most answering machines add the time of their call.

It takes awhile to get used to the unnecessary bells and whistles, but overall the phone is okay.

The reception is powerful and allows you to walk quite far from the base while still maintaining clarity. I love how comfortable it is to talk with a headset on, especially since this phone can clip onto a pocket or be put into one.

I highly recommend a Plantronics Headset M175 to go along with this phone!

This phone worked well for 2 months and now it mutes me every now and then while keeping the connection. Other people think I am not talking to them while I go "Hello? Hello?". Very frustrating, don't get this phone!

I buy this phone and it only work for two weeks. I live in Caracas Venezuela and i call the phillips company but they don t do anything. The sound is great but if the phone doent work, why i need it?
