I think this is a very capable phone in the price range.I have no complaints with the phone. I didn't think of that until the first time the phone rang. This phone is a good value for the money. If you are in the market you may want to think about buying a phone with caller ID. I am so used to having caller ID on my cel and cordless home phones. It has good sound quality with both the corded handset and the speakerphone. Obviously the speakerphone is not the best option, but using it a couple times I received good feedback from those I was calling.
Thinking about buying one or more of these to replace Panasonic and Toshiba cordless phones neither of which provide anywhere near the same audio quality. The operating instructions leave a lot to be desired as far as programing upper and lower keys. The quality of both handset and speaker phone volume is excellent. They are both adjustable.
All the other features work fine,and this phone sounds great.A couple of extra memory cards would have earned a 5 star rating from me. This phone uses batteries for its 20 station memory,and speakerphone power. This is a good feature because you can keep your favorites by changing batteries before they go dead(it gives you a minute to do so before losing memory)this should prevent you having to reprogram when power losses happen.
This Panasonic model fit my needs.I use it with my cable company's telephone service, and it sounds great. This phone's volume control helps solve that problem.There is a handy headphone jack, but it requires a smaller headphone input than your regular headphones.
Plus you only hear sound in 1 ear. (I think it's 2.5 mm instead of 3.5 mm).
I wanted a simple, corded phone, but most phones in the stores are cordless. A lot of times when I call companies, I'll get an automated answering service, but each company sets their automated system to a different volume.
but you're already doing that with the earpiece anyway.There's no caller ID, but most callers (especially telemarketeres) show up as unlisted anyway. and the ones that had cords were really expensive business models.
There's a handy volume control, so I can crank it up if I can't hear the other party.
That means, when I'm trying to take notes during a conference call, I have to either mute it and balance the phone on my shoulder or put it on speaker and pray that the dogs don't bark. The phone is fine - nice big buttons, a normal, old-fashioned handset that you can rest on your shoulder. BUT, you can't put the phone on mute while it is on the speakerphone.
