IBM 412 4-Line Telephone with Caller ID Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this phone for the telephone company voice mail indicator, which other 4-line phones don't have.After about a year, the results have been quite unsatisfactory:
(1) I have replaced three of them because some of the buttons stopped working.They must have fragile switches or something.
(2) Two of the phones will pick up line 2 on speakerphone, spontaneously.The phone will just be sitting there and then the line 2 light comes on, the speakerphone comes on, and then you can hear a dial tone.
(3) Sometimes the phone has a mysterious delay (1-5 seconds) before it will let you pick up a line when it is ringing.I pick up the handset, push the button, try again... eventually, the line connects, unless the caller hangs up first.
(4) Voice mail indicator often does not know when there are no more messages and keeps blinking (there is a way to turn it off manually).
(5) Conversations bleed through between lines.
Looks like buggy chips to me.The phones are "IBM" brand but really made by TT Systems.As soon as I can find another 4-line phone with an FSK voice mail indicator, these are all going in the trash.
