Comment: Probably the quickest cordless phone I ever set up. Caller ID is a plus and the numbers are stored when I am not there to answer. Call quality is good, the handset does what it's supposed to, but it definitely feels and looks cheap. You get what you pay for, but I'm happy since I was just looking for the cheapest cordless phone.

Comment: My old phone was, frankly, big, clunky, and I was too lazy to clean the dust and grime off of it. Since I have been using my cell phone for many years almost exclusively, I only needed a decent quality phone at a cheap price and this phone fills the requirements perfectly. I like the looks of it but can't comment on any of the many features as I just don't use or have a need for them except for keeping the ringer off (but I imagine most phones have that feature these days). Has a good range from the handset and I've talked at length without having to put it back in the "cradle" or whatever to recharge.
Seems to dial slowly after you enter a phone # in and click "talk", but a minor annoyance. Seeing the phone # you dialed should be clearer or brighter but that would be the only downsides. For less than 20 bucks, it gets the job done and doesn't look like cheap junk.

Comment: The display on the second handset burnt out in 5 months, only was used maybe 4 times. Cheap displays of the 80's calculator era.

Summary: Great phone 2010-05-29
Comment: We were looking for an analog phone -- not too many left out there it seems. We know the electromagnetic-issues with digital, so we were trying to avoid one. This cheap phone is great, I'm glad we bought two of them to get the free shipping. We'll eventually use the second one, too. Would have liked a speaker feature, hence the "4" rating for features. It hung fine on our wall, too -- does not stick out too far.
