 No headset jack. April 10, 2008

Before buying this phone (the expandable system with one handset, not just the additional handset), I asked if there was a standard jack in the handset for a headset. I was told yes, but in fact, there is not. A huge omission. For a phone to have a mute and hold buttons, and even speakerphone, it's strange that I can't use a headset. That's a standard feature and it should have specifically said there was none.
 Good Basic Cordless Phone April 22, 2008

This is a good basic cordless phone for home use. Voice quality is very good, no static at all, even in an apartment full of wireless junk. The batteries are standard Ni-MH AAAs, so they should be easier and cheaper to replace when the go bad. The shared phonebook memory and distinctive rings for different callers are useful features. Recommended.

I have owned this digital cordless phone set for about two months and it works very well. Voice quality and range are very good. The base unit is set up at one end of the first floor of my home, but I can take a handset anywhere in the house (even the basement or second floor) and get good reception. I do not recall ever hearing any static or other interference. The speakerphone in each handset works surprisingly well, considering the relatively small size and light weight of the handsets.
The information packaged with the phone states that it is expandable up to six handsets and that there is an alarm clock on each handset (features which we have not yet used.) Any entry made into the phone book in one handset is automatically duplicated in the phonebook of the other handset. Also, the ringer on one handset can be turned off - - just set it to "Night Mode," one of the Menu selections. While the unit lacks an answering machine (which we do not need since our phone company provides voicemail), a light flashes on each handset, when there is a voicemail message that has not been retrieved. These are all convenient features.
My only complaint is that the only Quick Start guide packaged with the phone set was entirely in Spanish, making it totally useless to me. (The more complete Operating Instructions were in English.) In fairness, I should state that I bought this phone set from a local "big box" retailer, not Amazon.

Pro: good sound quality
Cons: no back light on keys, can't turn off ringer, NO HEADSET JACK, wierd phone book UI, cheap feel to the handset
I returned this and bought the model with an answering machine. For an extra 10 bucks it addresses these issues and it's easy to turn off the answering machine.

These have been some of the best cordless phones I have owned. The clarity is great. they have a paiging service between px's that allow you to talk to the other hand set. they share phone books and caller id, very nice. they have several ring tones and the volume is loud.
