Southwestern Bell GH5850 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone with Answering System (Silver)

At Fry's Electronics I bought the GH5850 phone and 3 GH58 additional satellite handsets to wirelessly tether off it. I wound up at Amazon hoping I would find some clue as to how to get the satellite handsets to register with the base phone. I followed the procedure in the handbooks, but the satellite phones didn't recognize the base phone. There was nothing relevant in the troubleshooting section of the handbook. When I went to SWB's website, the *.pdf version of the handbook was "temporarily" unavailable. When I called there product support line, I found that they were not open according to the hours listed in the handbook. I will have to wait 2 days to talk to anyone. I have never found a phone of this type as inexpensively priced. Perhaps I am getting what I paid for?!?!

I got the base unit for about $30 when it was on sale at FRY'S + 2 more handsets for $10 each. I had no problem at all registering hand sets with the base at all. It work right away at a first try. I was looking for 5.8GHz unit as I was trying to avoid interference with my wireless network at home. Got the phones for about 7 months now and all units work well and I can even go out of the house to the mailbox and not loose reception.
