 Not a good choice February 1, 2000
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have an older model Sony cordless phone and love it, so I bought this newer model too. Unfortunately, I had to return it. The outgoing message is very poor. Also, the autoscan feature is of no use when you encounter static during a call. I would recommend buying a phone that has a manual channel button.

This was my family's first cordless phone. We bought it because our answering machine blew up in an electrical storm and we needed a new machine. Since we could only find phones that come with answering machines, we went with a cordless-even though my parents were less than thrilled because of a previous bad experience with a cordless phone. We came home and hooked it up, let it charge overnight, and it worked excellent!! The Caller ID in the handset was great(no problems yet) and the answering machine quality was excellent. We had a problem later on with it, but it turned out to be the phone line itself, not the phone. It has a simple keypad, no fancy buttons, and is easy to use. I have taken this outside with me before within the 100 YARD radius of the base and have had no problems. It channel searches when you are too far away from the base. The reason other phons may have had problems is because you are not supposed to put the base near electrical stuff such as TV, etc. and the base should be in the middle of the home. It also has a directory where you can enter people you know and instead of dialing their number over and over, you can access the directory and dial from there-speed dial basically. If someone on your "speed dial" list is calling, the phone gives a lower pitched ring so you know it's someone important and not a telemarketer or something. The answering machine has 3 different "mailboxes" that are-again-easy to use. An excellent product from Sony!!!
 Always searches for channels August 25, 2001

Has a nice feature set, but beware. Like the other reviewers, my phone sporadically and frequently goes into channel search mode, which breaks up phone conversations. Intolerable. I've had cheaper cordless phones by other manufacturers that were completely reliable (e.g., Toshiba). In fact, this was my first disappointment with cordless phones.
Would give it less than one star if I could May 25, 2002

This phone is a piece of junk. I have usually been very happy with Sony products and this phone was excellent out of the box, but now 5 months later it is falling apart. The caller ID has ceased to work, the display is going out, and the answering machine gets worse and worse. Very disappointed in Sony on this one.
 jog dial runs away March 13, 2002

I bought this phone quite a while ago. It was great at first, but now the jog dial has just gone crazy. The slightest touch causes it to jump wildly (or not move at all), rendering it close to useless. I rarely get channel searching or static as some others have mentioned.
