5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Performance - Exceeded my Expectations!, October 3, 2000

I read through the considerable number of reviews on the Gigaset suite of products before buying this unit. I almost bought a different phone because of the wide range of experiences with these phones. After careful consideration, I bought the 2402 and couldn't be happier with this product. I live in a three story home, with a reasonably large yard. The home was built in the '30's and several rooms don't have phone jacks. Consequently, when I found out about the Siemens cordless systems, it sounded perfect. The thought of having several phones without needing to install wiring was very appealing. We used to have a single 900 mhz cordless phone, which was never where we needed it when it was needed. And after two Sony 900 mhz, and the new Panasonic 2.4 ghz died on us, my wife and I wanted a phone that was going to both perform and last.

With that background, the Siemens system has been fabulous. The range, battery, and clarity performance are all as good or better than the Sony and Panasonic phones that we've used in the past. The features are SIGNIFICANTLY better! The Siemens handsets have very intuitive menus and are very nicely styled. The range and clarity of the handsets have been flawless. The base unit is hidden away in a closit on the third floor, and we get a perfectly clear signal on every level of the house, as well as our yard, which extends at least 150 feet away from the base. I replaced the batteries with Kodak NiMh rechargables, and battery performance has been great - we've not run out of battery power once. Although, the supplied NiCd batteries weren't a problem either.

I read about some issue with DSL incompatibility, but we have not had a problem even though our main telephone wire also carries DSL service. We simply plugged the base in and it worked. One of the other reviews talks about hold being an issue, but this easily fixed by properly configuring the privacy feature. My single complaint is that the handsets are too thin to cradle with my shoulder (probably a bad habbit anyway.) The good news is that the handset has a built in plug for a headset, which we bought when we ordered the system from Amazon (check out the Plantronics units.) And the headset turns out to be infinitely more comfortable than cradleing the handset anyway.

In short, this system has completely exceeded my expectations and I couldn't be happier with this purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent phone, March 25, 2000

I bought the 2400 Kit to go along with the 2415 that I bought (phone/answering machine). Easy to set up. Outstanding sound quality. If the battery is completely dead, it charges up completely in about 4 hours. It's the best phone, cordless or corded, that I've ever owned. I don't know what other products Seimens makes, but I'd like to find out!

4.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, except for the batteries., June 11, 2000

I bought one to go with my base. It is sleek, light weight, and the security features are excellent. The intercom, and call forwarding to individual handsets, are features I most liked about the system. The built-in spare battery charger is nice too. This system has better sound than the two 900MHz SONY units that it replaces. The only drawback was that the batteries that came with it would not charge, even after 24 hours. I bought NiMH batteries to replace them, they have twice the capacity of NiCads.
