BellSouth MH9011 Cordless Phone

I was willing to put up with the poor quality reception for the convenience of the small size in my hobby room. However, when it quit working, I found that the plug was extremely hot and had begun to melt!! Since it was very close to a shelf that holds sewing fabrics, it could have been a real disaster and could have caused a fire. DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL!!!!

I purchased this about 3 years ago and the battery died almost immediately. I purchased a new battery (expensive) and then a few months later I started to get static which got progressively worse. I wrote Bellsouth last year and they sent me a replacement (after a lot of hassle). About 3 months ago the 7 and 8 buttons stopped working. I have to push very hard with a pen now and they get stuck so the number is then pushed twice (or more) and I have to start dialing all over again. This is the worst cordless phone I have had. That is why I am here on Amazon shopping for a new one. Don't make the same mistake I did and purchase this phone...

Endless static. Short battery life. Cute phone = 1 star.
