I replaced my older set of phones. They were acting up and the batteries were starting to go dead. I had to leave them on the charger. I didn’t think these phones were going to be much different then what I had. Boy was I wrong. Hugh difference. The call blocking has stopped all the annoying spam calls. I was getting 6-8 of these calls every day. Put all your familiar numbers in the directory and you are all set. For all other calls coming in, they have to say their name and press the # key. They don’t do it and the call is stopped.

This phones are awesome especially for seniors. Large keypad numbers easy to find. Has light where you can see who is calling and see the time. Easy to read and see who's calling. Instructions are easy to understand for the setup. I love this phones.

I love the call block capability of this phone system If a number isn't in my directory, the called is asked to give name/phone number before it will ring through. Nuisance callers, of course, don't go through the hassle, thus cutting down such calls completely! Only problem is if I don't have my directory up to date which may annoy some friends. Some of the directions that come with the system are way over-simplified which makes them unnecessarily complicated. Takes time to program which is not for the faint-hearted.

Apparently I'm one of the last customers interested in buying a landline phone. Very few to pick from: about six, as I recall.
I had to ask where those phones were---after a long search, they were pointed out to me in a location in the back of the storee.

These phones are great. They have the capability to block robo calls and other unwanted calls. I do wish I could access the directory of contacts a little quicker.

They work very well and the phone will hold a call for 1/2 acre from the base without dropping the call. The sound is clear, The answering machine works well.

Its kind of a cool feature this system will connect to your mobile phone and you can use it like a home phone AND you can connect it to BOTH your mobile via bluetooth and a hardwired phone.
Funny in 2020 I felt the need to go back to a hardwired phone for quality of the call - but awesome at in my house the cordless phone is connected to my wireless phone too.
Lots of great call screening features too. I have it set up some ONLY inbound calls it will receive from the landline is direct family member numbers - otherwise it will NEVER even ring. = #AWESOME!!!!

Scenario: You have cut your landlines but keep missing calls at home and have to play "telephone tag" since you don't carry your cell phone around in your house/apartment wherever you are or cannot hear your cell phone's ring.
This Bluetooth compatible handset (comes in 2 or 3 handsets packages) will ring and alert you of that call. If you still have an analog or DSL land line than the base station allows you to connect to that. You can pair a Bluetooth headset to the system according to the instructions.
The only drawback is that only TWO separate cell phones can be paired at a time to the base station.
Setup is quick but read the instructions.
Pairing the cell phones is easy (select phone 1 or 2 and it will detect that phone, Transfer of your phone number list is also easy).
Text messaging is NOT detected only voice phone calls.
You can also use the handsets in lieu of using your cell phone, so if your cell phone is in another room or floor, you do not have to run but pick up the handset instead. Can use handset to make outside calls too (cell phone of course must be powered up and in "range" of handset.
Can set up to 6 rings before the automatic answering kicks in. Handsets need at least initially 12 hours to fully charge then can last a few days without recharge or kept plugged in.
Could not find anything compatible at the competition and what was available was more "expensive". Did not want to buy something online then have to go through the "hassle" of returning it but picked it up from the brick and mortar location to "look it over".
Initially bought the 2 handset pack then found the 3 handset in stock and decided to cover 3 rooms for around $19+ more. You can add more handsets if needed but only TWO cell phones can be linked at a time (must replace one cell phone number with another)
Like any review, what is "excellent", "good", "fair" etc. to me may not be the same to you or your circumstances. For me this worked so I did not miss important phone calls.
It does verbally warn of "Unknown Caller" if that number is not on transferred phone numbers from your paired call phone(s)

Bought this to replace a unit my cat broke. Honestly, I liked my old one better. It had hard, highly-responsive keys, belt clips on the handsets and an intercom key. This one has stiffer, rubbery keys you have to bear down on more when dialing, no belt clips and you have to cycle through a few options in the menu to use the intercom. Also, my corded phone in the kitchen will ring first, then this system picks it up, so there is a one-ring delay, which is odd. Still, we have adapted to the differences fine and it has proven to be a good, cost-effective replacement wireless system, so we’re happy with it. I have not tried the Blie Tooth connection to my iPhone, as it’s just kind of redundant when I have a handset on each floor. Maybe if I one day decide to finally cut the copper I’ll try it….
