This is a great telephone.We were looking for a replacement for our older 2.4GHz phone which had two handsets...some of the buttons didn't work very well and it suffered from interference in the kitchen when using the microwave.Was thinking 5.8GHz and hadn't heard of Dect 6.0; check out [...]

This phone is getting close to a cell phone in terms of features...full display (monochrome), multi-segment battery meter, phone book, multiple selectable ring tones, call timer, each handset has a speakerphone,etc.The menus and voice prompt for the answering machine can do english or spanish.One interesting aspect is that many programmable items are done on a per-handset basis, so for example one handset could have its own unique ring tone.Address book entries can be entered into any handset and then kept local to that handset or transferred over to a specific handset or to all handsets.When we got the phone I put in about 15 numbers, and then in a single 5 second operation transferred all those entries to all of the other handsets.

One thing I've always hated about cordless phones is that replacement batteries are typically expensive and use outdated (NiCd) technology.This phone however uses two AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries in each handset.So no more searching for a replacement battery specifically made for this phone.

Only two quibbles.The answering machine does not display how many messages there are, there's just a single light that flashes (on the base unit, as well as on each handset if desired (programmable)) if there are any new messages.If you listen to and keep one message and delete the others, the new message light goes out and there's no way to tell by looking at the unit that any messages are stored.This is an issue in the following situation:When I listen to messages and save one because it's for my wife, then when she comes home she looks and doesn't see any indicator that there's a message waiting.So each of us needs to get into the habit of pressing the message button to check regardless of whether or not the light is flashing.The answering machine CAN be disabled however (and each handset can be set to display a message waiting indicator when using voicemail from the phone company).Total message time capacity is 16 minutes including the outgoing message.

Other minor beef, and this is very minor, is that only two handsets can be used concurrently for a call.So you can't have the whole family on their own handset talking to grandpa.But honestly we've never used more than 2 phones at a time so this isn't really an issue, but it would be nice.

This phone can be purchased with four handsets (base unit plus 3 additional), or with 2, 3, or 5 handsets.Functionally they are identical.Each is expandable up to a total of 6 handsets.
