works well. does all the things it says it does including each extention connects to master to retrieve messages. works as intercom. like ability to save phone numbers to all phones or just selected phones. speakerphone works well on all phones. only problem so far is some volume drop requiring readjustment during call. works thruout house and outside without problem.

Purchased to use with system, easy to use, good quality and has provided use of 2 lines coming into the home into newly remodeled basement without re-wire.
Good, but not for the faint-of-technical-heart October 24, 2005

As others have noted, this phone system works very well, but it does require the ability to read instruction manuals; and the endless "missed call" messages on all phones other than the one on which you pick up a call are annoying.
Generally Very Capable Phones September 14, 2006

I got a total of four handsets to use with this system. The plusses are great quality sound, very useable speakerphone, great range, no interference with my b/g wi-fi network, and easy call transfer/intercom functions. I also like the ability to set the ringer to silent and just let the LED on the antenna alert me, such as during dinner or a movie. I like being able to play back the messages from any handset, though they seem to always be on speakerphone, so privacy could be an issue for some.
Some minor cons are that the buttons are too easily depressed when carrying the phone. It'd be nice if they were inset a little. The phone could display the time and date, since they're programmed into it, but it doesn't. As others mentioned, the handsets register all calls they aren't used to answer as missed calls, so I find myself clearing the caller list all the time. I haven't bothered much with the phonebook, so I don't have much commentary there. It does work.
Overall, they've proven rugged, of very good quality, and with a good featureset. Glad I bought them.
 Hard to Use November 10, 2006

This phone works OK for general use, but to use any of the advanced features you'll need to keep the 50+ page user's guide handy or memorize a bunch of numeric codes to access various features. Also of concern is the phone's ability to drain the battery in only a few days even if not used. The guide says to not leave the phone on the charger, but you have to remember to put it on the charger every 3 days or you'll find you'll be without a phone.
Another troublesome feature is the base is only expandable to 4 handsets. If one has two lines wouldn't it make sense to be able to have more than 4 handsets?
As to the base unit, I've taken to turning off the fax feature unless I know a fax is coming in to prevent the printing of junk faxes. You'd think just not loading paper would do it, but no, the fax buffers the incoming fax in memory (which is a good thing) but given I know it is a junk fax, there is no way to clear that memory save unplugging the phone -- and then when plugged back in, it prints a page to tell you what you missed.
