Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Southwestern Bell's FF940MS telephone with headset offers plenty of features for budget-conscious homes and offices. The small handset rests in the cradle, or with the headset you get the greatest flexibility in hands-free conversation. 900 MHz operation offers higher quality signals and longer range than the lower bands of older cordless technology, and 40 channel auto scan finds the channel with the least interference, helping to circumvent the radio traffic of densely populated areas.

The 10-number speed dial can be programmed with your most frequently called numbers. Use the flash button to get an instant dial tone, the last number redial to keep trying a busy number, and the built-in pager to locate a misplaced handset whenever. The headset is lightweight and adjustable for your comfort. This phone is supported by power failure protection and Southwestern Bell's one-year limited warranty.

1.0 out of 5 stars Less than Expected..., July 31, 2001
By 
Greg Jeung (Glenwood Springs, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Southwestern Bell FF940MS 900MHz 40-Channel Cordless Phone with Headset and Handset - 3 Color Flips Included (Office Product)
I returned this item, because I was expecting it to be a "truly mobile" phone. The product description is unclear...I thought that you could put the headset on and walk around the house talking on the phone with both hands free, but unfortunately, you have to be connected at the base unit while wearing the headset. The handset is portable, but the headset/hands-free feature is not. Okay if you want to sit and talk hands-free, but not what we wanted or expected. Maybe the product description needs to be clearer, or my understanding was unclear.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT a cordless headset!, August 27, 2001
This review is from: Southwestern Bell FF940MS 900MHz 40-Channel Cordless Phone with Headset and Handset - 3 Color Flips Included (Office Product)
Cordless headsets do exist, but not at this price -- I've found out to my chagrin. I don't know how anybody could describe this as a "cordless headset" seeing as how the headset has a whopping great cord coming out of it, which needs to be plugged into the phone before it can be used. (Note that it only needs to be plugged into the phone, not into the base unit, so you CAN walk around, if you've clipped the phone onto your belt or something like that.) I'm keeping the phone, because I needed a new one, but I'm not a happy bunny: I feel as though I was conned. A couple of other, minor complaints: (1) the headset only works with the microphone on the left, not on the right; and (2) there's a really stupid flip-panel which performs no function whatsoever except to make it that much more difficult to dial a number. (It can be pulled off, however, with brute force.)

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good value, December 6, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Southwestern Bell FF940MS 900MHz 40-Channel Cordless Phone with Headset and Handset - 3 Color Flips Included (Office Product)
This phone (at least the unit I purchased) had very poor sound quality and range. I noticed a slight amount of static when standing right next to the base unit, that only got worse as I walked away and behind a few walls. To compare, I did the same thing to a VTech unit that I purchased last year for the same price (but with a digital answering system) and that phone was silent (except for the sound of human voices on the other end).

Best to spend your heard-earned cash on a more worthy unit.
