The system collects your messages and tracks callers with caller ID. Expandable to a total of four handsets (one included, up to three optional, models 4000 or 4200), the 4015 also lets you communicate walkie-talkie style with other family members or office colleagues up to 1,000 feet away under ideal conditions.

With long-ranging 2.4 GHz digital technology, the 4015 provides lightweight communication and clear sound. A 30-number caller ID memory and 20 speed-dial presets are both displayed on the large, backlit LCD screen. The compact handset weighs just 5.6 ounces and measures 2 by 6.5 by 1.5 inches. It has volume control, call waiting, and last-number redial functions.

The integrated answering system provides 15 minutes of digital recording plus time/day stamp and a memo function. You can check your messages while away from home with remote retrieval. The compact base is headset compatible. A long-life battery is included, offering up to 10 hours of talk and 200 hours of standby.

5.0 out of 5 stars Siemens 4015 Gigaset - A great phone system!, May 15, 2002

By 

Chip (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Siemens 4015 Gigaset 2.4 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone (Silver) (Office Product)

I purchased the Siemens 4015 Gigaset for my parents to use in their home. My 71 yr. old mother programmed this phone simply by following the step-by-step process that is very clearly shown in the manual. To anyone with an average level of intuition, you can program this system without even using the manual.

Voice quality is excellent and there is no noticeable static when using the handset around the house. Outside of the house the phone begins to break up a little at about 150'.

The intercom feature is ideal for my parents because they can carry the handsets throughout the house (or outside in the yard) and always be able to call the other for assistance without having to yell for help. It's also nice to be able to use standard AA batteries in an emergency..

Having no controls for the answering machine at the base is no issue. It's no different than using voice mail from your phone company, and having message access from the couch is great in my opinion. There is a speaker in the base station too, and as long as you set the volume at maximum, it works fine. You can use the speaker to screen calls or to listen to messages.

This system is about $100 less than the Panasonic and every bit as good. I also looked at VTech, but for the same $$ I elected to go with Siemens for the quality of construction.

My only gripe is that I don't care for selection of melody-ringers that come with the phone. Only 1 of the 10 melodies is tolerable.

And, for the reviewer that complained that there is no paging for lost handsets, look at the bottom of the base station. There is a button there for exactly that purpose.

I love this phone system! Buy it with confidence.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Nice, December 14, 2001

By 

"sunnydayplay" (Stoughton, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Siemens 4015 Gigaset 2.4 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone (Silver) (Office Product)

Very sleek little phone.

The handset is very light-weight, almost too light. The AA NiCads used by the handset allow you to use regular AAs in an emergency. It also has a cell phone style headset jack for hands-free.

It has no ring tones that don't sound ultra-modern, so if you are looking for a traditional ring, this isn't the phone.

I have two gipes: The advertised call screening from the handset is not available (confirmed with Siemens tech support); and there is no mute function available.

All 4000-series handsets are the same. So in hindsight, I probably should have purchased the 4215 to get the extra features and add another handset later.

4.0 out of 5 stars Siemens works for me, July 31, 2002

By 

JB (Fresno, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Siemens 4015 Gigaset 2.4 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone (Silver) (Office Product)

After seeing the mix of reviews on this product and the other brands of cordless phones/answering machines as well, I took the plunge and went for the 4015 and an extra handset.

The negative reviews sounded to me to be environmental problems. I do not live in a dense urban area, I do not have a home computer network and I do not run the microwave oven much. My phone does "click" when the microwave is running, but I have a few solutions to dealing with that: don't turn on the microwave when the phone is in use, don't turn on the phone when the microwave is in use, take the phone out of the kitchen if it is imperative that they both be used at once, or simply listen to the click for a few minutes. It's not that bad. For me.

Reception throughout the house has been wonderful and I can wander in the backyard with no loss of sound quality.

Cons: The ring tones are really stupid. I remember when phones actually had bells in them. Now it sounds like there are cell phones ringing throughout the house. The base has no provision to mount on the wall. Since there are no controls on the base, why clog up counter space? The handset menus are not great, but after four brands of cell phones, none of them were really great either. One other bad thing: the handset doesn't have a cord. My wife still wanders around the house with it and leaves it hidden.

Pros: It's a phone. It works - people can call me, I can call them, they can leave messages. I use it as a consumer product, not as a business tool. I don't have a huge house or a large estate so reception has not been a problem. The base is nice and small, much smaller than our previous analog answering machine. I like the feature of having all of the controls in the handset rather than on the base.

Other: I bought an additional handset and had a bugger of a time getting the handset to register to the 4015 base. I called Siemens customer care and they helped me out. The spare handset must be placed in the 4015 base once, not just it's own cradle (doh!)in order for it to be recognized.
