 A Great Phone with EVERYTHING! July 25, 2000
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I was in the market for a phone with everything(Caller ID, Answer machine, etc) and this has it all and it all works great. I have had GE, Lucent, and Uniden phones and this has the clearest signal and easiest set up. The caller ID is the best part with how Sony allows to scroll through with the small wheel on the side of the phone. MUCH easier than how uniden has it by the key pad. I have no idea why there are so many bad reviews about the answering machine? That is how answering machines sound! All in all, a great phone.

I've had great luck with a Panasonic and decent luck with a Uniden, but based on bad reviews, I went with the Sony. I've had it about 1 month and it's working great. Caller ID works fine, clear calls, and you can understand messages on the answering machine. I would like to be able to have the names that I enter for cell numbers, etc. appear instead of just the callers' number with the state. The price was also a bit steep, but all in all, I'm very satisfied.
 I'm glad I'm not the only one.... June 15, 2001

This phone was fantastic for about 8 months. I could go about 100 yards from my house while talking without any interference. However in the last month the handset started "Channel Searching" no matter how close I was to the base and how good the signal. Two days ago the handset went into channel search mode and literally has not stopped searching since. I have done everything I can think of including change the battery and it continues to search and while it searches the answering machine doesn't seem to work. Oh well, no more Sony for me.
 Sony SPP-A973 Not Up To Par December 31, 1999

I've been a loyal Sony fan for many years which is why I bought the phone. Owning the phone for just over six months, there is some static while talking and occassionally cuts off. Although I have returned the phone to the Sony authorized dealer, they replaced the battery and gave the phone a thorough check. There was no improvement noted. I would pass on this Sony product.

I have the exact same problem one of the other reviewers noted. The phone will just die out in the middle of a conversation. The only way to keep talking is to run over to the base and move the phone by the antenna. What's the point? Calls to Sony provided absolutely no help. When the phone works, it's cool, except the quality on the recorder is pretty bad. I'm out here looking for another phone to replace this one. I love Sony products (I've got TV, DVD, VCR, TIVO, Receiver, etc,) but I will never buy a Sony cordless again. I'm not the only one, either. Everyone I know that has had one has been disappointed. I guess they can't be great at everything!
