Couldn't say exactly how far can they go and keep working properly, but haven't had any problem, they work well even outside the house

Deco 6 will give u 2000 feet all depending on ur building materials I have a brick house and it works well out side

Yes...I live next door to my daughter and my phone receives calls from inside her home!

The range is good, but the phone was made poorly, it loses connection to the base phone and cuts off. I tried calling customer service, and emailing them, but I have had no response.

I can't really answer that since I've not tried to figure out the max range; I didn't buy these to talk to people 36 miles away. The fields I attend range anywhere from a half mile to a few miles in length one way or another, with dense tree coverage; so the people I talk to are always within a mile. I've had no comm issues at these fields.

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.

You can answer the phone from either the phone's answer call button or by a quick press on the bluetooth head set. The front presses/depresses on the front side near the top. When my hands are busy, I sometimes answer the phone by pressing the bluetooth against my shoulder. The range is about 30 feet. I can confirm that because I have done it and you still get a good reception as long as you are clear of obstuctions. You get a little static if you have a wall between you and the phone, but it still works pretty well. I strongly recommend this bluetooth.

The range was about 2 feet. And if you turned your head from the source it would lose reception at only 2 feet. I returned them and bought the Phillips Bluetooth headphone and they are awesome. I can walk clear across the gym with no problems. Best part is they are only $45.

It works well. You can encounter issues when you have your cell phone connected via Bluetooth if your phone is more than about 30 feet from the base unit. For us that is pretty good because we have a floor and multiple walls in between. Without obstruction you could easily get more than 50-60 feet. If your cell phone is close to the base, then it sounds just like a normal phone call over a speaker phone. Generally it is the quality of the cell phone that is more the issue. We live were we are lucky to get more than one bar. Generally the speaker mode of the handset is better than the cell phone in non speaker phone mode much less speakerphone mode. So you shouldn't find issue with speaker phone. I have conducted several conference calls using speakerphone mode over both landline and cellphones using speakerphone mode of the handset.

The phone is in our OTHER home, but on the length of cord.. which one? The one from the phone to the handset you talk into, It's about...4-6'.

I have four of these phones and they all have a good range. My apartment is on the second floor of the building and the phone operates within 75 feet even outside of the apartment.

Phone has to be charged after you install the batteries. Problem with the unit. I could not get the unit to work right if I was more than 10' from the base station. If you are using additional handset's I would advise buying something else. I had to return everything. I would get three beeps constantly telling me I was to far from the base. I was never more than 50' away, and in some cases less than 20'. I would look for something else.

around 20-25 meter with while concrete obstructions between the base and handsets, but for sure longer when No obstructions

Sue,The boost feature is a handset clarity feature that is automatic and pre-programmed into the handsets. It activates when the sound quality degrades. I can't say about the 200 foot distance plus the metal building. It's a crap shoot, but this is a quality unit that is probably going to perform to the limits of FCC regulations. Keep in mind that the unit also has an optional Range Extender (old KX-TGA405; new KX-TGA405B) that claims to double the range of the phones and its only $35 on Amazon. Good luck,Tom

the farthest i have set up from the caller was about 30 yards. i havnt tested how far out it will reach. at the distance i set it at it does need direct line of sight from the remote to the caller or the caller wont respond to the commands.

I've tried to use them in my kitchen while leaving my phone in my room and they work fine not a 100% but they work they start stutter when I get passed my refrigerator. I would say that from my room to the kitchen there's about more or less 25 ft of distance

I'd say 50'.-75' But I must also add they are probably one of the worst cordless phone sets I've ever had. When using the buttons there is a slight delay with each push of the button. Its annoying.

The range is about 30 feet from the base. No phone jack is needed for the second phone.

I can be about 10 ft from one phone but less from the second one. I think it may depend on the make of the phone too.
