Tell me about the quality of the speaker phone part of the phone. Is it easy to be heard and to hear?

The sound quality is very good - I am heard clearly, and can hear the speaker clearly.

The speaker is great! -- until it stopped working for me last week (around April 2 or so). It's like the Mute button is on but it is not. Changing batteries made no difference. I've only had it around 9 months. I really need that feature as I cannot type while holding the receiver on my shoulder, and callers don't seem to realize that. I won't buy another one.

Can you use the speaker without needing to pick up the hand set to dial or hang up?

The speaker phone part has a volume control which works very well to be heard and to hear. You should be near the phone to be heard. Thanks

The speaker phone on this model is the very best both hearing & to be heard, that I've ever used. It is loud & clear.

Sorry for the delay in responding. The speaker phone is wonderful. I use it frequently while working on the computer at the same time. Sound is fine and people do not complain about being on the speaker.

The speaker is not very loud. It is small. ( I am used to a LOUD speaker at work, so I might expect too much. )

Hi - I have had no problem with it. I really like it when I call places that seem to leave me on hold! Conversations are clear. Good luck.

The sound quality is definitely affected. The loudspeaker to listen music to is OK but the call sound volume is noticeably quieter. It's not too bad though if your hearing is good. Also check out the Incipio Atlas. Which I found out about after I bought this case. Good luck choosing!

Absolutely! My husband is a little hard of hearing (but he won't admit it) and he can hear perfectly fine no matter who he talks to. You can up the volume a lot, but I haven't had to. This is the best phone on the market.

No issues with the volume from us. We have been using the phone one a daily basis; both hand held and speaker, and the phone has performed perfectly.

No, the speaker function is by far the weakest feature on this product. My hearing is not bad and sometimes I really have to listen to get the message. Otherwise this is a great phone.

Greg, this phone does have a speaker phone which is why I wanted this particilar phone -- and it's clear. The phone itself, however is sensitive. Oddly enough, though, it seems to be adapting to me -- ha ha!

I think all speaker phones are somewhat scratchy. This one is ok, I can understand the person across the room, and I yell back! Only because I'm across the room, and not on top of the phone. I think you'll be happy.

Sound quality is not as good as my iPhone but it's to be expected. I bought the phone for my 11 year old son who uses it when he goes places in town on his bike. I have not heard any complaints from him nor do I have any from the two times I personally used it. Hope that helps

The volume is excellent on the handsets. It can be adjusted to whichever suits your hearing needs. I am very pleased with the unit. I have had it for 1 1/2 years.

It is not very good I have to keep it on speaker in order to hear, but I am able to turn down the volume, so no one can hear the speaker. Only problem is remember to put it on speaker when calling or receiving a call.

OK. It is not bad but at time the volume on the phones seem low and it is hard to hear. When they are loud enough they are clear. All the negative reviews on this phone were right. One of the few things I like is that its range is good.

I work from home so speaker was important. Yes the speaker works great on both the handset and base. This is a pretty decent phone.

The sound is fine. People can hear me fine and I can hear them. At first I had problems.. I simply took. My phone out and reinstalled it in the case and it was fine. As for playing music, the sound is a but muffled. You can still hear it but if you want a louder, more clear sound you have to open the charging plug and headphone plug and then sound is loud as usual. Hope this helps.

It is easy to use - just like any cordless phone. I don't think there is any difference in sound quality since it is a blue tooth connection similar to that one would use on their phone in the car.

The sound is good, even on speaker phone. You can use your SIM from another phone unless you had an iPhone SIM. I went from a Samsung Galaxy SII smart phone to this much simpler phone and love it!

No, actually I like this phone but I can't hear the person on the other end that good. I always have to click on Speaker to hear, but then I get static.

The clarity is excellent. I have had no problems with the system. The speakerphone part is great too, it helps because sometimes it is hard for me to hear.
