Idk the approximate range but it works very well in and outside of my home. My house is about 1300sq ft on a 1/2 acre. I use the phones outside sometimes while in my backyard and its still crystal clear. Hope this helps!

My hand sets are placed through the house one upstairs bedroom and 2 downstairs. I would say 50 feet I have taken the phone outside in the yard and reception is fine.

I don't know; I'm bad with distance but my parents house is passive solar and none of the portable phones seem to have problems with getting a signal from the base.

Plantronics states the operating range as "Up to 33 feet from phone or tablet". My experience has been that they begin to drop out at about 30-35 feet.

I am not sure how well it will work if I am moving my cell phone around. It has worked perfectly since I installed about a month or so ago, but I keep my phone directly beside the PhoneLynx since I am using this a my primary home phone. I don't take this cell phone out of the house. I think the directions say you need to be within 10 feet, but can't be certain on that.

OK, I just did a quick test to answer your question. I went approximately at least 300 feet to my neighbor's house across the street from my house. What I did was call my wife on her cell and we chatted as I did that walk to the neighbor's front door. It was always crystal clear per the wife on her cell as well as the unit I took with me. In regards to the Ringers. Yes, you have the "Option" of turning either or both of them off. The Hand-Held Unit or the Base Unit. These phones work great and I replaced every phone in my house with them. Terry

In order for the calling/messaging/email to work, you have to be within I believe 35 feet of the phone. Otherwise, the pedometer, exercise tracker, music player, heart rate monitor all work without the phone. It connects through Bluetooth for the rest of it so I guess it depends on what you're wanting to do.

Not sure of exact range, but we have traveled at least 100 feet with handset, with 4 walls between base and handset and still had good reception.

No more than 30 feet. Less if there are walls in between. Works as well as other BT devices I have.

You answer the phone by pushing down on the front of the Bluetooth device. The range is approx.; 30 feet in my case.

Yes. The range is terrible. It might as well need a cord. I sometimes wish it would have the option. I was aware of the issue and I disregarded it since my phone wouldn't be too far from it ever.

Have mine hooked up about 15 feet away from my phones with no problem. Haven't experimented with any further distance.

Not very long. My mom had to add her own longer cord to the handset cord. The phone cord is plenty long.

It depends a lot on where your phone is and barriers between the phone and device. For example, if my ant is on the right of my shirt collar and my phone is in my bag to my left, then after 6 ft it starts giving me issues. But if my phone is outside my bag and it's an open room (no walls) I can get about 80 ft

I hate carring my phone around because of the kids, i live in a town house and i usually leave my phone in the kitchen while i go upstairs in the bedroom and down to the basement to do laundry,it always tell you the number calling and i always answer and receives clearly for more than 8hrs. Range of 20-30 feet.

@0 to 30 feet is about the range of Bluetooth devices. I place my phone on my kitchen table many times while at home which is within 20 feet of my routine area. Another good feature is when you get out of range this device will beep and report your phone is not connected. This usually means I set my phone down and walked away from it. Never lost a phone with these devices.
