sissbarb says "This panasonic phone did not work properly." about Panasonic - Panasonic KX-TG2120

sissbarb — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:40:20 GMT

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 time and money on returning it. I had the capacity for caller ID service and also call waiting, but I did not use these features. The redial function was never right either. The number was available for redial for only a few hours. The volume control and mute buttons worked well. It was supposed to have a ten-station phonebook and dialer, but they never worked properly either. Everything...

kebridgeman says "Great if you are tired of paying for home telephone service" about magicJack - magicJack

kebridgeman — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:32:47 GMT

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 with my cable (I have Charter), it skips then too.

I wish I could connect my MagicJack directly to my cable internet modem. It uses my front USB port and I would rather use that for other purposes sometimes. Also, I don't like having my phone cord running in front of my pc....I have stepped on it while talking on the phone before and lost my call.

Now that you can use Vonage on your data-enabled...

TBeezley1 says "A hassle to recharge..." about AT&T - Cordless Phone

TBeezley1 — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:40:20 GMT

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 functional phone again. Since we have no cell phones here, this has more often than once put us in a position where calls had to be prematurely disconnected. I realize is a problem common to all cordless phones, but it was still a disappointment and I wanted to share it with you all.

tomgoodson says "Love our New AT&T Cordless phone, has all the extras!" about AT&T - AT&T Cordless phone with Base

tomgoodson — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:50:27 GMT

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 phone downstairs and hit a button and call upstairs to the other phone and talk to someone. It's almost like a paging system! This is great to call a child and let them know it's time for dinner or something easy like that. What a great feature. The phones are easy to clean, and black! Love them because they are light as well.

poetikbree says "cheap corded phone." about emerson - model EM2646

poetikbree — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:33:50 GMT

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 staticky and you cant hear voices very well. The only thing that still works on it as good as it did when we originally purchased it is the caller i.d.. The numbers come up on it way sooner than it does on our cordless and its clear and easy to read but thats doesn't really metter when it is the phone that you need to use.

chercat says "This is a fantastic phone system " about Uniden - 2.4 Ghz digital

chercat — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:45:27 GMT

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 caller id, you can program the phones so you can assign a ring tone melody for a specific caller.

These phones work great and the price was incredible at around $30. The clarity is great and the features are many - this is a budget price but not budget quality. They are black and chrome and sleek and modern looking. I just love them and would recommend them to everyone .

jesussavedus says "Customer Service Is The Worst Thing About It!" about Magic Jack - Magic Jack

jesussavedus — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 04:18:37 GMT

Someone said, MagicJack lacks the magic. YES IT DOES!

We've all heard the saying, you get what you pay for & that is so true with MagicJack.

We beleived the hype. We signed up for the trial offer when it first came out. We had it for one year at a certain rate. When we went to renew our account with them, they tried to charge us WAY MORE then we contracted with them for. They tried to say they didn't have any record of our account, lalalalala etc....

We were so happy we kept our email confirmation from them from when we set up our account. Even when we should them this confirmation, they still tried to charge us an amount that we were not contracted for.

The customer service is the worst. There is no one to talk to directly, you have to do an online chat & you speak to about 4 different people who ask you the same thing over & over again.

When we first set up the item, there was alot of static & it was very low, they could not help, we figured it out on our own.

We didn't want this for...

jesussavedus says "Uniden Dual Handset Served Its Purpose." about Uniden - Uniden Dual Headset 900 MHz

jesussavedus — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:55:24 GMT

My husband & I purchased this phone because of the price & we needed a cordless dual phone.. It also comes with another cordless phone that has base as well. One thing we both like about the phone is it has a location feature. If you have left the phone somewhere in the house & you can't find it, as I know alot of us do, you just hit the button on the base & the phone beeps Very Loud, until you hit the flash button. This means you have located your phone. I wish they had this feature for keys. LOL However, there are some things we do not like about this phone. We have only had it for about 3 years, but sometimes when you pick up the phone to dial out, you get a message across the screen that says still connecting. It also has alot of static at times. It is time for us to get new phones....

chasity227 says "I love this phone" about VTech - T-mobile Cordless Phone 5145

chasity227 — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:20:26 GMT

I just purchased the Vtech Cordless phone #5145. I like this phone. I've had it for about a month and have no complaints so far. I have purchased about four Vtech phones within the last 4 years and have always thought they were good for the price. It has a very sleek and chic appearance. This particular phone has alot of features.You can put different photos on the phone for a screen saver and I like the the fact that I have several options for ringers. I even recorded my niece's voice saying "the phone is ringing". I think it is really cute. I am somewhat tech savvy so I don't use alot of the things offered, but it's good to know they are there. The phone also has bluetooth capabilities; where I can plug my cell phone to the house phone and talk interchangably. This is convenient when I need to save my cell phone battery or am being conscious about how long I'm on my cell phone. My cell phone battery always goes dead before my home phone.

jlowe308 — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:27:21 GMT

I own the V-Tech 5.8 gig two handset cordless phone system.The reception is really good.The design is sleek and the sound is really good.I have not had any problems with this at all.It didnt cost me alot.I bought it from Walmart so it was reasonanble pricewise.It does not have a speaker phone which would probley be the biggest down fall because so if your like me and like to multi task then it can be a little bit frustrating at times.It has the call waiting feature so you dont have to worry about that aspect of it and the beep is loud enough so you can hear it and not think your phone is just dying out.It also has the helpful find headset feature on the base so if you have teens or smaller kids who use the phone and just lay it down where ever they finished their conversation then this feature really comes in handy.I know I have used it 100 times.Might i add is it also energy efficent so it does not use alot of power so you dont have to worry about burning up mega watts of energy.It also...

MOMeanMama says "Panasonic Cordless Phones are the best on the market!" about Panasonic - KX-TG5622M Twin Cordless Phone

MOMeanMama — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 03:35:33 GMT

Panasonic Cordless Phones are the best on the market. This KX-TG5622M model is replacing an earlier Panasonic model that lived a very long and useful life and is enjoying a nearly retired lifestyle. The modern, silver, metallic finish goes well with most styles of home decor. The ability to be used as a mounted or desktop phone adds more functionality for a variety of users. There are so many functions that this phone offers that the everyday user will probably never use all of them! Up to five callers may be assigned their own ringtone when used in conjunction with Caller ID. The antenna also lights up when the phone rings in a variety of colors. The handset base has an adjustable antenna which can be positioned to allow the most optimal connection to the handset. The handset antenna is a low profile antenna. I have never experienced static or interference while using this phone. I predict a long and happy life for my phone, but will replace it with another Panasonic...

Tiramisu says "Poor Audio" about Panasonic - 5.8 Ghz KX-TG5632

Tiramisu — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:01:55 GMT

I should have returned my Panasonic 5.8 Ghz KX-TG5632 right after I bought it, but I was just too busy. It has a digital answering machine and 2 handsets with caller ID. The answering machine works fine, with an on/off button, blinking message light, stop button and erase button. The signal strength is good, allowing me to move about my house and yard easily while talking on the phone. The handset has caller ID, a speakerphone button, and a pause/redial button. the user interface makes it very easy to view and clear caller IDs from received calls.

The main issue I have is that the person on the other end can barely hear me unless I have my phone on speaker phone. This problem occurred right from the beginning.

Another issue is that there is no way to mute the ringer when a call is coming in, so I cannot mute the ringing or message being left when I'm talking to someone else on my cell phone.

arlenevlz says "Reliable Telephone" about AT&T - Caller ID Telephone

arlenevlz — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 22:31:19 GMT

I have had the AT&T corded caller ID telephone more that one year and I am happy to say that it displays every number that calls my line. If there is a number that I don't recognize, I can just as easily ignore the call and let it go to my voicemail. It is a basic phone that can keep numbers that ring on my line in memory until I feel like erasing the memory. I purchased this phone at Amazon.com. It only cost me $20.00. It has the capability of my storying numbers I call on a daily basis. I don't know about you, but AT&T line of telephones are very reliable. Many have of you I'm sure have cordless phones. I have always had a corded telephone; something I have always found convenient. You can decide for yourself whether or not AT&T is a superb telephone. Please feel free to comment on my AT&T Caller ID telephone, I would truly appreciate the feedback. I know that there are so many different kinds of phones that you can buy and each one has it features included. ...

bluangel1960 says "An above average item, unless you lose connection or electricity" about Magic Jack - Magic Jack

bluangel1960 — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 07:24:31 GMT

I love the magic jack. You can make or receive calls for one low yearly rate. A fantastic buy for the money. The only characteristics that you cannot change are the fact that if your ISP goes down, so does the phone. If your electricity goes off so does the phone. I've been disconnected a few times due to this but the quality of service is excellent.

The product works as it says, the connection is very clear. You can call anywhere within the united states for one low yearly price, beat that with a landline. It comes complete with caller ID, call waiting and voicemail. Track the minutes, who calls, and if you don't want to be bothered simply unplug it and the calls go straight to voicemail.

You can choose a number from your own state (if available) or even another. If you have family living in another state that you speak with frequently, just choose a number within their area code and they can call you without expense.. or better yet, give them a magic jack as...

im4bbr says "This Vtech phone holds up well." about VTech - 5.8 Digital Speard Spectum model I6788 E580-1

im4bbr — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 21:48:48 GMT

This Vtech 5.8 - 5.8 Digital Speard Spectum model I6788 E580-1 phone comes with two additional handsets and a digital answering machine. I don't know about you, but I am not a voice mail kind of person. I tried it for a couple of years, but I never remembered to check it. It like that when I walk in the door I can see whether or not I have messages waiting for me. I still don't always check it, but at least it is a choice now, not just an oversight. We have had this phone for a few years. It has held up very well. Between my tween daughter and myself this phone really gets used a lot! The battery life holds up well .The only time it runs down is if we talk on it all day and then leave it off the charger all night. Another great feature of this phone is its find handset button. You just press the button on the main set and the other phones beep until you find them. What a handy feature. I am certain this has saved me hours of searching all around the house.

juliacalvillo says "The VTech Dect 6.0 was a great choice for our new house phone!" about VTech - DECT 6.0

juliacalvillo — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:19:19 GMT

The Vtech Dect 6.0 was not a product that I purchased. I had talked with my husband for several weeks about needing to get a new cordless phone as our old one was wearing out. We have two floors in our house and I wanted something with extra handsets so I don't have to constantly run up and down the stairs. And I wanted something with an answering machine so we don't have to pay for voicemail. He surprised me by shopping around (a first, lol), and found this phone with two handsets for upstairs AND an answering machine on the main handset. I love this phone, the sound quality is great, it has a huge phonebook, and it doesn't heat up after being on the phone a while like some handsets do. The only thing I've found about the phone that I do not like is you have to scroll through the phonebook to the number you need to call. You can't enter the first letter of the name or number like you can on a cell phone. I don't know if there are any cordless phones with that ability yet, but other than...

tikkipep says "Uniden 5.8ghz cordless phones are a waste of money" about Uniden - Uniden 5.8GHZ Cordless Phone (2 set)

tikkipep — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 01:28:56 GMT

The Uniden 5.8GHZ cordless phone is a waste of money. I purchased the phone which came with an extra handset a few years ago. I believe I paid $50 + for the set at Walmart. The biggest complaint I have is the incredibly poor reception range. The main base was on the kitchen wall. The kitchen is located in roughly the center of my house. I don't live in a large house by any means. The house is a raised ranch. I couldn't even make it to the garage without losing reception. I tried reading the manual and switching channels on the phone by nothing worked. It is an incredibly poor product for the amount of money you spend for it. The other features worked fine. Caller ID showed up clearly and held alot of previous calls in it's memory. A nice feauture was being able to program specific ringtones to specific phone numbers. It also had a button on the main base that you can press to make the handsets beep so you can find them if you misplaced them. Bottom line: The product isn't worth the money...

dmdifalco says "Uniden~Nothing But The Best for Less!" about Uniden TRU9585-4 5.8 GHz Quad 1-Line Cordless Phone

dmdifalco — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:58:08 GMT

I have to admit, my customers convinced me to try Uniden Phones when I was a salesperson for small appliances about seven years ago. I used to buy the most expensive, well-known brands until I purchased Uniden! Uniden has terrific sound quality and has all the buttons and whistles without burning a whole in your pocket. This set includes four handsets. Enough for inside the home with one waterproof model which I bring outside in the summertime. This newer version allows everyone to pick up on the phone and talk if they want to. I have a few suggestions if you are having problems with your phone. Every once in a while...a set may come with a bad battery. This not only happens with Uniden but with all brands because they distribute a lot of phones at one time. Check all the batteries. They are not that expensive to replace. One thing that sold me on Uniden is that their phone batteries lasted way beyond the normal battery lifetime. Most cordless phones must get new batteries...
