This review is from: Phonemate PM5800 5.8GHz Cordless Telephone black/gray/silver (Electronics)
I have two of these. And that's 200 too many.
All would be fine, but each time you set the phone back in the base/charging cradle, it "handshakes" in a new security code. If you hear ONE beep, you're fine... a new code is established and the base can communicate to the handset.
If you hear THREE beeps, however, there has been a problem establishing a link between the handset and cradle with a new security code. Hence, the handset can't work with the base and is rendered USELESS. And BOTH the PM5800 phones I have do the same thing and no, they aren't cross interfering with each other. I only use one at a time.
And so you stand there... dropping the phone into the cradle.... up and down.... a million times trying to get ONE BEEP. After a hundred or more attempts, you get angry and want to throw the piece of garbage out the window. It doesn't even look good enough or weigh enough to be a decent paper weight.
