This phone is so cool. A great value for the money. The batteries have been in for two months now and they are still running strong. It has the cutest ring that can be turned off or up. Perfect for wall mount and the data port allows me to go online as well. Less

This is a great phone for when the electric goes off or just about any time. Less

I originally purchased this phone from Walmart for about $18. A year later they no longer had any in stock when I needed to purchase two more. However, uvip still carries them. It has no backlight but the clever flip screen is a very nice feature and if the power goes out, the phone still works. Less

ust went and bought this phone today after considerable research. And so far it is meeting expectations.

My needs in order of priority:
1. No electrical hookup - should run off phone line, like all old analog phones
2. Need speaker phone for occasional conference calls...r /> 3. Need Caller ID to screen calls.
4. Nice to have - programmable phone number bank
5. Ringer control - should be able to turn off ringer or make it go to visual
6. Should be able to put caller on hold or mute.
7. No answering machine needed

Once you possess it , it will become your good helper. As my personal experience,
I recommend it to you. Less

This phone works great and the range is perfect for a normal family house. My house is a 3 level one and I set up the base in the basement ( that's where I have my office ), and the handsets one on each floor ( I bought an extra one ) and the range is perfect, no static, no loss of connection to the... base. Also this phone has great sound that I never heard before in a cordless, someone said that you hear a little echo in the handset and is true but is not bothering the conversation at all.
The sound correction is a cool feature even if I don't use it.
The other really great feature is the speakerphone on the handset.
I guess a lot of people who wrote reviews did buy this phone for a office use and got a little upset figuring out that this is just a normal home phone cordless.
Somebody complained about the fact that if you save a phone number in the base phone book and try to recall it from the handset ( or the other way around ) is not there ( the phone book are not shared ) but that is actually good if you are going to have different components of the family using the single handsets.
In my case I use the base most and my wife use the handset on the top floor so she has memorized her own "girlfriends" numbers on the handset phone book that, trust me, I don't need to find in the base phone book that I use for work !!!
All around a nice and smart phone, working fine in my case. Read more Less
