PHILIPS ID 9370B Enhanced High DefVoice Additional Handset

I bought this extra handset with the base unit and it's a great little phone! The range is terrific, the battery life--well, I can't kill it (and that's saying something!), the style and look of it is really nice and sleek... The ringtones are nice, the wallpapers are okay--not bad, not incredible--but the colors are nice and crisp, the screensaver clock is useful and clear--not to mention pretty cool.
The sound quality is really nice--you can hear everything--every voice inflection--so if you are hyperintuitive like me, you'll hear even better when people are sad, happy, anxious, etc. My daughter is hard of hearing and she can hear on this phone without turning up the volume to the maximum.
It doesn't 'flash' to the second line very quickly, and you have to pause a couple of seconds before saying "hello" to your second line... but I'll get used to that. When you dial a number, you don't always get the strong "tone" of each number, but the calls always go through...Read more

PHILIPS ID 9370B Enhanced High DefVoice Additional Handset

Purchased both answering machine/handset and additional handset. Mainly chose this unit due to size and appearance. Looks great as far as if your phone must be in a place that is obivously visible (kitchen counter, as mine is). Took answering unit out of box, and set up rather easily. Font style and size looks like an old style cellular phone, which is just ok, but could be much better. The additional handset is defective right out of the box and will not work at all. I contaced Phillips as Amazon/seller would not help with the issue or return. Phillips simply had me submit my proof of purchase, and will be refunding my purchase price of the unit. The phone is different looking, but that's all. There are definately better values for the money spent on this unit...Read more

I'd like to rise to the defense of this model, which I have been happily using for about two years now. I like it well enough that I've just bought a new expansion handset to go with my existing system. I may be a bit late to the party, as it appears this phone system has been discontinued and is now being closed out by discounters, per this Amazon entry.

I'm all thumbs when it comes to these feature laden electronic devices -- blu ray players, hdtvs, smartphones and the like -- I figure out how to use what I need and don't waste my life learning all the bells and whistles. That said, I have never had any trouble getting this phone to do everything I need. The sound is great, the effective range from the base station is more than adequate for my 3000 square foot living space and I can take the phone out on the deck or the front porch, or even down into the basement, and still get decent reception, with our base unit located in a loft space three stories above the...Read more
