how is this as a speaker phone?

My wife bought me the Braven 600. Overall, I have been very happy with it and it does work great as a speaker phone and a music speaker. Very reliable.

Pretty good, but sometimes i get the comment that the volume is low on the receiving end, otherwise it provides good clear sound in Skype. Keep in mind that it doesn't make a chappy connection sound better ;-)

Everyone is correct there is no speaker phone function for this phone. It mutes,re dials, has an on and off (which you use to answer), flash, set, del, up and down, bright,pause,and an out button.

I would assume so... If you plan on using it as a speaker phone at all ... Keep looking this one is awful :(

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.

I'm not sure I would be comfortable making business calls with this device.. It seemed kind of raspy when I was using it. The speaker would definitely be loud, however; the quality wasn't that I would use for an important business call. I used it on the beach, and near the pool.. Fit it's purpose, but not for much else. Hope this helps!

Yes, there is a speakerphone function, but I find it handier to use a bluetooth headset instead. Much handier and you can leave the phone in your pocket.

I have used the speakerphone for many conf calls with multiple participants in the room, and I have not had any issues with people up to 10 ft away (could go farther, but I haven't tried it). The only caveat is that there can't be too much ambient noise. The only time I had a problem was when the speakerphone was next to a noisy projector fan. Once we moved it from next to the fan, the call quality was very clear on both ends. The other (perhaps obvious) point I'll make is it will not amplify a "low-talker" or very soft-voiced person in the room. Probably no surprise, but I don't want to give the wrong impression. In general, I would say I am very pleased with the product and would recommend it.

You can make voice commands to call people and answer calls. The led display lights up with who's calling. There are also Android apps that create even more versatility for such things. Works great in every aspect I've needed it for. Battery life is superb as well.

No, you can't. No capabilities at all (something I miss a lot from my last set). The speakerphone isn't bad, but not the same. I've been happy with this set (especially at $90), but I'm already looking at something new. I recommended it when first purchased (2012), but wouldn't now.

Yes. This is a great speaker phone. We use it for conference calls and everyone is happy with it.

Yes, phone does have a speaker phone. It works well as I use this feature quite a bit.

It would not be useable as a speakerphone; there is no microphone in it. Someone may have figured out a hack to make it work but it's not designed to do it

The answer is no, This is a low tech phone No Ports, Pairing with Wireless systems, No Back lighting. ETC THis phone shines when it comes to Voice Quality and Sound Clarity It is one of the best speaker phones i've used. I would even go so far as saying the speaker phone is just as good as a pollycom ( I've used both:-)

Sorry, no speaker option. But I selected this phone because it works so well with my Jabra Gn9125 cordless headset. Not like a speaker phone, but for me, better. I can walk all around the house hands-free. Just a thought. Good luck.

I find the speaker phone is OK as long as you don't set the volume at maximum. If you do, it distorts sound. I have not used the conference phone function.

I would never have thought to use it that way... I just tried it, and no, you cannot use it as a speaker phone.

There is not a problem hearing the caller, I use the base, handset and speaker phone in addition to the portable, handset and speaker phone and insert an earpiece in it sometimes. All are clear and loud, they all have a volume control which I normally use at a 3 (out of 5) level
