pretty good spreaker phone November 10, 2008

The speaker works great so does the embedded mic. It's really convenient to have those three direct dial keys on the left side of the key pad. Now all my family members can call mine cell without remember them at all. The only thing I think it needs to improve is the display brightness. I can't see it well if the surrounding light is not bright enough, especially during the night.

This was just what I wanted. Radio Shack had something similiar, for $135.00. Wal-Mart had something similiar, but none in the store and none on line. Amazon had just what I wanted for under $30.00. Pays to shop at Amazon.
 Do not buy to mount on the wall! October 24, 2008

This phone might be great, I haven't actually tried it yet. But a warning: when you mount it on the wall, the handset slides off. Don't buy it if that's where you're planning on installing it.

This unit fully lives up to its description. It is easy to install and set up. It has great clarity of sound. Even I can understand it with my 87 year old defective ears. The volume control has great latitude. I do not hesitate to recommend it for its affordable price and seemingly excellent quality and ease of use.
Good Price but Poor Audio Quality October 12, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
For the money, this telephone/answering machine provides the features that you would expect in such a product. Call quality is excellent and speakerphone audio quality is good. I also like the fact that it does not require batteries to retain messages during a power failure.
However, I needed to return this unit for two reasons, both relating to the answering machine part of this product:
(1) If you choose to record a custom outgoing announcement, the audio quality is abysmal. No matter how many times I re-recorded the outgoing announcement, the pitch and volume were altered in such a way as to make me sound very tired or depressed. The answering machine changed the pitch of my voice to make it sound lower and made the volume of the first two seconds or so lower than the rest of the announcement. It altered my voice so much that it did not sound like me.
(2) The volume change described above also affected incoming messages. The first two seconds or so of an incoming message sounded lower in volume than the rest of the message.
