Customer Reviews

2nd Phone Charger Buzzes
These phones are exactly what I was looking for -- dual handset, answering machine, caller ID. They work just fine and we have had no problems with the phones. My only complaint is that the charger buzzes when plugged in, and is very annoying. I tend to plug it in at night and unplug it when I'm in the same room.

poor sound quality
HAd the phone for 2 weeks prior to returning it. Worked as advertized, but the past reviewer who commented on the loud tone of your own voice was right on. When you speak into the phone, your voice shouts into your ear. The only way to comfortably speak into the phone was to hold the mouthpiece well away from your mouth. Also lacks a speakerphone (which many in this price range have).

Your own voice is loud in your ear
These phones work well in all aspects except that when you speak into the handset, your own voice seems to be amplified into the speaker at your ear. I find myself having to change the position of the phone away from my ear in order to not blow my ears out!

Also, no headphones jack.
