Well, first to the reviewer "m_night2" from Savannah, who said you can use "regular" AA batteries in this phone... that is NOT true. The manual explicitly says that you CANNOT do that, and that the batteries must be NiCD or NiMH rechargeables. This is probably the reason he had trouble with his phone, because regular AA alkaline batteries are different voltage and milliamps than NiMH rechargeables. Use the right batteries and these phones work great.

The features are well thought out - everything is controllable from the handset. One nice thing is that you can pick up your messages from ANY handset. And you can set options from any handset. One of the dissapointments is that the phones do not replicate the directory from handset to handset, so you have to reenter all the names and numbers in every handset. (I really didn't expect that to work, but I was hoping.)

Great buy overall.

I originally had the Siemens Gigaset before this model and lightning struck my home. When I got ready to replace old the system, I knew I wanted the same great quality. This phone is wonderful, everything can be done from any handset. Something that I didn't discover until we moved in to a multiple story home and my neice was playing with the phone is the intercom feature. It lets you page any one or all the phones at any time, even when you're online! I can page and talk to people all over the house without going back up and down the stairs. It has kept me from having to yell through the house whenever I needed something or someone. It's a great purchase, and if lighting strikes again, I'm getting the same phone system or the upgrade.

Was looking for an easy solution to phone quality and ease of use with an integrated answering system. Persistence in reading the documentation thoroughly was key in setting the phones up properly. The quality is really far and away much better than any other phones I've used. I love quality stuff so this fit me to a T. Price was good. So far, after about 6 months we've had no problems. I am a very satisfied customer.
