I see a lot of negative reviews here for this product, but have had a really good experience with it myself. We have not had problems with static or picking up the neighbors phones, and one feature I really like about it is the lights on the monitor. I work from home, so when I'm on the phone I can "hear" my baby by seeing the lights on the monitor, not with the volume. All in all, the FIsher-Price sound and lights monitor is a great value for the money!
