3.0 out of 5 stars Only use this phone on a two line service, September 19, 2009

By	Ben E Hill - See all my reviews

I just had one tip about this phone. If you only have a one line service, this phone's L2 LED will never turn off. It interprets the lack of line as an off hook condition. Of course this wears down the battery and is distracting to see.

There is a way to work around this, only install two batteries instead of all four. The pair near the back of the phone power the LEDs for line 1 and the two near the front handle line 2. I was surprised this worked but with just the L1 pair of batteries all the features of the phone are ok. You only lose the Line 2 off the hook indicator which a single line service user doesn't use anyway. My guess is that the L1 batteries do double service and power the speed dial numbers as well. NOTE there is no mention of this in either the quick start guide or the manual.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not an improvement over the earlier version w/ caller id, September 18, 2008

By	NY Mom - See all my reviews

We liked the cheaper price and had read that this was supposed to have better quality than the old 2-line, 3way conference with caller id from AT&T. In fact the speaker-phone on this new one sounds like you are speaking from a cavern. Not impossible, but the old version is better.

The phone is fine however the speaker volumn isn't quite loud enough. If there is any type of background noise like a ceiling fan running, you cannot hear the caller very well. All in all it's an okay product.
