Southwestern Bell FF908 900 MHz Cordless Telephone (Black)

this is a really simple phone. you can store memory numbers and it has lots of other buttons. it's really easy to set up because it has step-by-step instructions. after you dial the number it has a little pause, but that's because it's looking for the clearest channel for your conversation. i haven't used it for very long, a few days maybe, but the reception isn't the clearest i have ever heard, but the good thing about that is that you can manually change reception channels to find the best one yourself. you can page people with it, too. my other cordless phone (before it broke) was never clear, and i had to recharge it every five minutes. this is a big change, and i'm glad i got it. i really really really recommend it!

We have used this phone nearly 1 year. The reception is always clear, indoors and out. Talk time is surprisingly long, my teenager talks literally for hours without recharging. It is a great value, simple to program and use. The handset takes lots of physical abuse without cracking or malfunctioning. Highly recommended.

I purchased the white version of this phone when it was on sale for $15.00 at amazon.com and the reviews were good. Unfortunately the phone has static on it when in use. Changing the channel or anything else doesn't help. I guess I'll have to send it back because it is basically unusable. None of the other reviews had mentioned this problem, so maybe it is a manufacturing defect rather than a design problem.
