After months of dealing with a dying phone, I finally found this great little gadget-The Uniden Dect 6.0 answering system.The package I bought comes with only one handset but can be expanded with up to 6 handsets.It lights up a great orange color when ringing or dialing and is perfect for night use- great visibility!Being a little technically challenged, I had to find something that even I could set up without too much difficulty and this is the phone for that.You can store  up to 70 names and numbers, which is surprisingly easy to do.The answeing machine is way too easy to program and you can...

I bought two of these GE phones after a bad experience with a cheaper brand.  I chose GE, because I have had good experience with other small appliances they make, and I've not been disappointed.  They have worked very well.  The only time I've picked up one that didn't work, I found it had been accidentally disconnected from the telephone jack.  I deliberately chose phones that did not have a lot of added features like redial, hold, answering machine, call waiting, mute. and the like.  I have found that the more technical additions anything has, the more there is to go wrong.  I am glad...

I have received two of these phones as gifts.  Both of them had poor voice quality.  I did not use either a week before discarding it.  I have talked to friends who had the same experience with them.  I have wondered if the person who gave them to me got them as a prize of some kind.  I can't imagine anyone buying them who had done any research on their quality.  I did a little of this on line and found that they received very poor ratings on bulletin boards that did consumer testing and evaluations.  They were very small,  attractive, modern and stream lined.  I would have liked to...

Chronofone ET380 - Cordless Telephone with AM/FM Clock Radio

Chronofone ET380 - Cordless Telephone with AM/FM Clock Radio

This phone has few features except being cordless and having a good clock radio.  I don't want all the modern features on the phone that is right beside my bed.  I do well just to pick it up and answer when it rings at night.  I use other phones in the house for up-to- date audio developments.  All I want from this one is to answer incoming calls at night, put me to sleep with music, and wake me up the same way.  This one fills all those requirements nicely.  It is easy to set the alarm; so I can wake up to my preference of an alarm or music.  It is also very easy to set the radio to shut...

I had used this phone happily for a few years until the answering machine messages became so scrambled that I couldn't understand them.  I took it for repairs and was told that the casette in it was worn out and should be replaced.  I bought one, and they replaced it for me.  However, it did not help.  The messages are just as bad.  I no longer use the answering maching feature, but I still keep it connected beside my computer.  I like the hold feature so much that I can't give it up.  I put it on the speaker while I am on hold and can continue working at my computer until someone picks...

I tried it for about six months and found it unsatisfactory.  The handset worked well for a short period of time..  However, it could be used less than  five-minutes with each charge. If left off the base when not in use, it went dead. I tried replacing the battery and that did not help.  As they were expensive, I only tried this one time.  I talked to the company about the problem, and their only suggestion was that I return it at my expense to let them inspect it.  I have not done that.  I needed a replacement for the time it would be gone; so I just bought another and decided not to expend...

I was tired of paying for home phone service just because of where I live.  I'm one of the few people I knew my age that has a cell phone and a home phone.  I always have my computer on so it made since to switch to VOIP.

I couldn't see paying for cable internet and vonage.  That seemed a bit redundant to me.  When I was told about MagicJack I figured $30 was worth trying it.

For the most part, it's a good home phone service.  I think my home is a bit too old and may need new wiring.  When I'm using a bunch of appliances at the same time my MagicJack calls skip.  Or, when I'm having trouble...

There's only one reason I purchased a cordless phone about 6 months ago.  I spend most of my time in the family room, and the handset to my landline is at the computer facing away from our TV.  Therefore, if I ever want to watch a ballgame or anything else that demands my attention on the tube, I must either put the DVR on hold or miss some of my program to get up and answer the phone.  The idea of purchasing a cordless phone appeared to be the answer.  However, as soon as you remove the handset from the charging dock, the battery starts to wear down and before you know it, you're without a...

Love my new AT&T phone!  This is a cordless phone, it has 2 handsets and a base!  We need the base, incase the electric goes out, in our area if the storms get bad, it seems to happen alot!  But we love the codless phones too!   The phones are fun, it has an answering machine in the base, so that is a great acessory to have on the phone!  The phone also has caller ID!  Who can live without caller ID now, we love our caller ID, and love to know who is calling too!  The other feature we have on the phone that we absolutely love is the intercome system.  We can have a phone upstairs and a...

     This phone was purchased a little bit ago to replace our old home phone. It is a white phone with caller i.d. and bigger number buttons.  We bought it about 5 months ago  it was never an outstanding phone we just bought it because we needed it as a just in case the power goes out we still had a usable phone.  It  was a pretty good phone for about 3 months and then alll the sudden the volume was always too low on the phone,so we just turned the volume up as far as it would go and it worked fine for about another month but now it is like your listening through a tunnel it is real...

The place where I work uses the Avaya phones.  We have about 25 of them in our office.  They seem to have a lot of technical issues, and the company that we got them from ( which I do not know who it is) is not helpful with service.

I bought this phone at JC Penney Outlet recently and it was a wonderful deal . The system incldued three additional phones that you plug into any outlet and they all work together . There is a built in digitial  answering machine and speakerphone . It is caller ID capable although I don't have that system with my phone service which is optional .

 

You can easily program each individual phone for ring tone, volume, time, and you can even set them up so that each receiver plays a different melody when it rings such as Irish Eyes are Smiling ,a lullabye , etc. That was a cool feature - IF you have...

This was a good phone but after 2 years the handset refuses to hold it's charge.  It's a shame, I really loved these phones.
