Amazon.com Product Description

Create your own cordless network with the EnGenius industrial cordless phone system. This phone combines the flexibility and features of a cordless phone with the power of a two-way radio. Plus, the EnGenius transmits at up to 900 milliwatts--about four times the power of most cordless phones--for a range in excess of 8.8 miles and the ability to penetrate up to 12 floors inside a building. This phone is ideal for communication throughout a warehouse, office building, or farm.

This EnGenius system consists of a base unit, one handset, a NiMH battery pack with 80-minute fast charger, and two AC/DC adapters. Each base unit can support up to nine handsets (sold separately), and each handset can be registered with up to four base units. The system is expandable to up to four lines with four base units and 36 handsets. Network features include hold, call transfer, call manager, and a programmable ring feature that allows you to select each handset to ring with every incoming call or only ring for transferred/intercom calls.

The EnGenius system features full-duplex capability that allows handsets to communicate with each other as two-way radios. A long antenna is included with each handset to maximize range in open areas. Independent of the base, full-duplex capability lets you talk and listen at the same time with no group chatter and with the convenience and comfort of a phone handset. Digital spread spectrum technology means the phone hops frequencies more than 200 times per second, ensuring privacy.

Other phone features include call waiting and caller ID compatibility, 30 presets for speed dialing, selectable three-level ringer volume, and six-level voice volume. The handset operates on a NiMH rechargeable battery for three hours of talk time and 40 hours of standby time. A trickle charger is included, and you can even charge the battery while a caller is on hold at the base unit.

This phone comes with a one-year warranty.

Summary: EnGenius SN920ULTRA 900 Cordless Phone 2010-02-04

Comment: The delivery of this item was good (although they didn't ship to Canada, had to ship to a US address and have it shipped to me from there - doubled my shipping costs). The 920 unit worked for about 1 week, turned out it was a defective unit. It was promptly replaced with a newer version which seems to be working well (again had to have it shipped to the US address and sent to me). I would have preferred to have a refund, but the seller did not seem to be too receiptive to that and really wanted to replace it with a more expensive unit. This unit now works well, but I had to have it completely reprogrammed (cost of $50.00) because even though it came with the base, it was not the master handset and could not access all of the features. When all is said and done, I'm pretty sure that I could have bought it locally for the same cost.

Summary: Great only if you need fantastic range. 2008-09-23

Comment: I have a business, a rental house and my house all on three connected lots. I must have extra long range on my cordless phone to answer after-hours calls for my business from my home-- the extreme opposite sides of the properties. The engenius phone is the ONLY one that can make the distance-- I have tried many different brands and frequencies. The cost, the performance (other than range) and reliability is otherwise middle-of the road. So... if you don't really need the range, you'll get no advantages from this phone.

Summary: Unacceptable for home use 2004-03-30

Comment: I purchased six of these phones and the four line system. The range is exceptional and that is the only good thing that can be said for this system. Within four days, one phone became defective and it took Engenius four weeks and six phone calls to repair it. They didn't know they'd received it for repairs, said they mailed it back, (they hadn't), and at least four phone calls went unreturned for days at a time. The phone takes a second or two to obtain a line, there is no ability to have specific lines ring on specific phones short of using the voice answering system, which not all home users want to do, the battery life is very short, and the phones will suddenly "crash" and require you to turn them back on. Every few days the main unit need to be powered off and on. The software is very buggy and technical support not acceptable. I would not recommend this system for home use. You will be very unhappy, unless you need exceptional range, there is nothing else to recommend it.

Summary: Junk 2004-02-27

Comment: Although the range on these things are good, the sound quality is horrible. There's a constant hiss in the background, battery time is low, and the phones are uncomfortable to hold (small and HEAVY). Also, the buttons on the phone are extremly slow to react. When you start dialing you hear the tone about a second later, which is really annoying as you're dialing a number. In short, these phones are poorly built and designed, bad features, and generally not worth it even if they were half the price.

Summary: Great range, OK quality 2003-02-28

Comment: I bought this phone because I was tired of trying to get other cordless phones to work in my sprawling house and yard - they didn't have enough range. Specifically I recently tossed the Siemens Gigaset due to poor range.

Well, this phone works admirably - it has more than enough range for a large property with no fade out. The handsets are tough and feel solid (they are really meant for factory or warehouse use). Battery life hasn't been an issue for us at all - in a home you usually keep the handsets in a charging cradle when not in use anyways. Voice quality is as good as the Siemens was. And the fact that it works at 900 Mhz is a bonus since it won't interfere with my wireless Ethernet (802.11) network.

This is an update since I've had these phones for about 6 months now: They aren't perfect. When you put the phone into the cradle to recharge, you have to put it in carefully otherwise it'll look OK, but won't be recharging. Also the recharging contacts are fragile compared to other phones and in fact I have to toss out one of my SN-920's 'cause the contacts got damaged. And the microphone on another SN-920 died. Also, the phones aren't comfortable against your ear.

My ideal phone would have the SN-920's distance with better ergonomics and better recharge contacts. Unfortunately, I don't know of such a phone.
