I use this for my work at home hard (not cordless) phone everyday. It works great. Well worth the money. Iam able to hear the customers.

Not sure why it is not. I have been using mine with a cordless Panasonic phone since I purchased it. I have had absolutely no issues and I have a hearing disability. I can hear better with this headset without my hearing aids than I can with them on without using the headset.

This device worked great for a little while I do not recomend it for a residential use on cordless or line phones. It's usage is best for an office setting. Due to me using it at home on a corded phone worked good for a while, then I started getting cut off when I would be on the phone a long period 2-4 hours. Pammy

You cannot turn the volume down enough on your phone. They are very loud and are designed for a call center with a lot of noise and a weak signal. I wear mine at the top of my ears to buffer the loud noise and turn the phone all the way down. If you are half deaf they are great.

The volume of the headset cannot be adjusted up on a residential phone, not enough electric current

I`ve been using it for the last 10 months at ratio of about 50 hours a week and it has never let me down

It's a Bluetooth apparatus with no wire connection. Unless your house phone is able to connect to a Bluetooth like a cell phone does, you can't use it.

Not sure, but I would consider something else, maybe Plantronics. I've had problems w/ a couple of these units.

I returned it and ordered the HM 1700 which is a much better headset. This headset is too noisy and I couldn't figure out how to answer the phone from the headset. For some reason, the price on Amazon is now overpriced. You could get it on Ebay for $20.

As long as the handset has a cord that will unplug it should work. This headset has plenty of volume. The volume on mine mine is only turned up about halfway.

Bess D., I found a Plantronics headset that works. You have to find one that fits in the headset jack. I tried several others that plugged into the handset jack--none of them worked. The one that has worked, although it isn't the best sound quality, is Plantronics M214C Headset with Adjustable Volume.

Oops. I read headset in stead of handset. But the answer is the same. I don't know and can't help.

I bought and used with Uniden cordless phone worked fine, try another phone on same system, if doesn't work most likely Bad headset send it back, if it works but not in the first phone hand set you tried Bad handset sned that back. If it doesn't work in more then one handset ie that you try, most likely a different size plug, or a proprietary one from Manufacture of phone. Read your manual on headsets. Good Luck hope this helps

I bought one of these that did the same thing. Motorola said return it to Amazon. I did, then bought another one and it did was also bad. Then I bought the AT&T; equivalent and it works fine. The headset on AT&T; is bluetooth which limits the range. The handsets have great range.

I am currently using an NEC networked phone. It works best with a multifunction business phone. I bought one of these hands free headsets for a family member, but they had to buy a more expensive phone to use it.

I have 3 of them. I have one on two phone here at home. One in the office which would be commercial right. It only works with cord headpiece and nothing wireless. This is attach outside the phone and will probably work with everyone having a cord. I see not problems. I use them for years. Even with ones having amps on the phone to boost the "tone" not volume.

The base for this cordless headset is meant to interrupt the signal meant for the 'corded' handset, and redirect that signal to the headset. While I'm not 100% positive because features on your cordless handset might allow it, I am going to say that this probably won't work.

Bonnie, that will depend on the hardware available with your corded desk phone. This headset requires a headphone "jack". Most desksets utilize a variation of the standard 4-wire handset cord to connect the phone base unit to a headset base unit, into which both the headset and handset are then plugged. This will not work for that arrangement. The jack is either 2.5mm or 3.5mm (I don't have it here with me at work) and so requires that type of receiver socket in the phone. I use this on my wireless phone at home, but I discovered that the jack is too small to work with my cell phone. Hope this helps.

The cordless handsets have head set jacks, but they are worthless for my 2 headsets because the plastic around the jack opening is too small for the jack. I was very disappointed with this phone and I recommend against buying it. I returned it and bought a Panasonic, which I like.

This model is a stand alone unit that has a phone jack that plugs right into a phone jack in your house. It wil work with any phone that it shares the line with. There is additional functionality that you will get if you pair this headset with a cordless phone, e.g. ability to see caller id of an incoming call while you are talking on the headset. You will have to check with AT&T regarding that.

its really not that great. it just sounds like youre on speaker phone the whole time if you cant get the headset to work. it doesnt get great reception and the texting is incredibly difficult. its not a phone for people with bad eyes.

I had issues with it every use. I had to unplug the adapter and plug it in every time, and then it would work. So I stopped using it. When there was this same headset with a wired 3.5mm plug (that is no adapter,) it was THE BEST ... that item has been discontinued, unfortunately.
