How well does the speakerphone sound? Is it line-powered, or does it require batteries? Thanks.

On the first set I had (that I returned) the speakerphone was fine and static-free when the handset wasn't, and it's also fine on the 2nd (properly working) phone. Haven't tried speaker volume, so can't comment on that (and the phone's not here). Line powered.

Sorry, I have not used the speaker. I don't think there are any batteries in this phone. Karen

Hey Ralph, Sarah's answer is close - it has a cord and is meant to be used plugged in but does not have an internal rechargable battery. So it's strictly a speaker for use in the house - a bit on the big side, too. If you want one that's portable you might look at the Philips Fidelio DS7700 which is smaller and has an internal chargeable battery and can be taken anywhere. Sound in both is really good (this one's a little better) if you're an ordinary listener like me (and not obsessed with the absolute perfect listening "experience"). Plus it charges your iPhone.

Dear S., Thank you for your inquiry. The Polk Audio Camden Square is a terrific sounding portable wireless bluetooth speaker, but as it does not have a built-in microphone it cannot be used as a speakerphone. Please let me know if I can answer any additional questions for you!Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

I keep it plugged in, so not sure about the battery life. The speaker phone sound is NOT GOOD, but I don't use it for that. Just for streaming music to powered speakers (which it works GREAT for). You could probably read the product details for the warranty info (if any).

I have no problems hearing incoming or outgoing calls without the speakerphone on. I've actually never tried it with speakerphone. This is the best little compact "somewhat dumb" (3G) phone you can own. Note: because of its small size, it works best to use a pen tip when texting. Bonus: just discovered it will also work in Europe!

I have AT&T U-verse and the phone works well with no batteries required. The speakerphone does have a 120v adaptor for power.

Yeah! So I've plugged mine in for a power source, but it takes batteries.However, it doesn't have a speaker/amp so you'd need to orchestrate a way to do that

I've had it just under a year. speakerphone. Seems to work fine, I've not had any complaints from someone on the other end. I also run Pandora through it, it's a fantastic speakers.

Yes, the handset has a speaker phone feature. The sound is clear and fairly loud even though the speaker is on the back. The handset is curved so the speaker does not get muffled if you set the handset down. I can't speak to the quality on the other end except to say I've had no complaints.

Yep, it has a mic and is great as a speakerphone . I've had no complaints on how I sound to others.

The handset has a Li-Ion battery. I've never run down the battery to the point that I must re-charge. I surmise that it will last at least several hours like a mobile phone. Otherwise the numbers and loudness is great when using the phone. The only problem that bothered me was the ringer volume was weaker than I had expected. Being an engineer that I am, I felt that Uniden dropped the ball on this part of the design. The light works, but even then it's not like a bright flash like a strobe light to really catch your attention. Like the other person who commented, you can leave it off the cradle for a day or 2 and it should be fine.

This phone is fantastic. I use the handsets on speaker most of time so I can be hands free. I have three phones, in different areas of my house. They never run out of battery life, are very clear and you can set loudness.

I got this phone to be able too use the speaker phone and have bee pleased with it... I was looking for a phone that had an external power source rather than just relying on the minimal power available thru the phone line.... This phone does the trick for me!

Honestly, I love this thing, but the speaker is horrible. My Galaxy S4 phone is louder and sounds better, which is kind of sad in my opinion. My battery lasts longer than my 12-hour work day with moderate use but not heavy use. Obviously it'll depend on what you're doing. Anything that requires constant screen use is going to severely limit the life of the battery.

Not that I can see. The back of the instrument has 3 jacks--Line out, Mic, and Phone. I'm thinking its battery powered only.
