Cordless with speaker in Handset

Yes, it was perfect. I purchased this to use at a Condo rental on Kaua'i for two weeks. The phone in the unit is a Stone-age analog phone. Not cordless, no speaker in base or handset. I'm talking about Alexander Graham Bell technology.  This phone was inexpensive and perfect for my needs.

NOTHING wrong with the phone.  It works fine.  Just that I was expecting a cordless headset, as it is titled.  (A headset with NO cord attached)  Was disappointed to find that the headset is actually attached to the handset/dial piece with a cord, so have to hold that piece or clip on clothing. Using it because I cannot find another truly cordless headset to get.

Works great...good to have if the power goes out...cell and cordless are useless.

We have been using Basic Talk for about a year now. Sound quality is excellent. No dropped calls. I disconnected the phone line coming into the house and plugged the output of the adapter into one of the phone jacks which activated all my other phones. Had trouble with one of the phones, this phone was a speaker phone that used the phone line to power the speaker. This apparently overloaded the adapter. Replaced phone with a phone that has an external power supply. No more problems. The bottom line, if you want to run multiple phones of the adapter use phones with an external power source. Best connection is to use a cordless phone with additional satellites. Plug the base station into the VoIP adapter.  I have both corded phones and cordless phones all work very well. I have cable internet service, if you have DSL you may need to add DSL filters to your phones.

If you have thick glasses (like me) and you want a decent corded phone for your nightstand which you can dial without putting on your glasses, this is the phone for you.  This availability and convenience cannot be overstated, especially in an age where we depend on emergency services at the end of a phone line.  The sound quality is decent if you use the handset.

Unfortunately, the speakerphone quality is poor.  However, it does not require batteries nor an electrical outlet to function.

I haven't tried the programmable buttons.  Whatever you do, don't lose the manual, or you'll never figure them out.

Also, the speakerphone button makes it easy for cats to activate (and dial!) the phone by stepping on the buttons.

The price is certainly nice.  I had difficulty finding a traditional corded phone at a reasonable price.

My main problem with cordless phones is the muddy sound. This phone has great clarity, and I can finally enjoy talking on the phone instead of straining to understand the other party. I like the ability to assign certain ring tones to certain people.

This is a great product, but really only if you don't have Bluetooth. It's one of those situations where you can't get a cheap radio that has a speaker (they all rely on earbuds now). Plus, cheap, small radios don't have Bluetooth, either. So, I simply use the headphone jack of a non-Bluetooth radio as an external speaker. Works well in that regard. It's also kind of big to be hanging on the top tube. Plus, it doesn't help that the velcro straps are all of varying lengths so you can't get it tight on the top tube. But, if you have a rear rack, well, it works fine back there (although then you can't see the smartphone, either). All-in-all, it works well for me to use the speaker with a cheap radio, carry it on the rear rack,  and I don't lug along my smartphone.

Needed these to avoid having to buy a whole new answering system & extension cordless phones.

This is the best solution I could find for not having an Aux input. I have turned my Treo 700p into a speakerphone, MP3 jukebox and GPS through my 6 speakers. It rocks. The sound is incredible. I may get a couple of more just  in case this one dies. So far it works great.

The handsets work fine. Had to purchase the set to add portable handsets to the original identical corded desk set. Will keep the new corded unit as a backup

I bought this phone in addition to the Uniden CEZAI998 5.8 GHz Cordless Phone with Corded Base and Digital Answering System.  I was trying to make sure my elderly mother would always have handset handy, and figured that having two different technologies would make it more likely that if one went out the other would be working. This phone, like the combo, has the boost for high pitched tones that Mom doesn't hear well and the crisp black letters labeling the ringer, and the visual (red light) ringer on base and handset. Sound was great although it can be interfered with by other electronics in the house. I solved the interference by plugging it in to another outlet.  I don't think I could get a better basic phone

I tested this Bluetooth speaker/handset with an iPhone 5.  The pairing process was very simple, all I did was turn it on and went to my phone's Bluetooth settings and connected to it.  The speaker and handset both played audio from calls and music from any audio source on my phone and would switch back and forth depending on if the handset was in the cradle.

The device has a USB port to charge a phone that only works if the speaker is plugged into the wall.  There are 3 buttons and a sliding power toggle on the handset.  The first button is a lighted button that flashes different sequences in blue and green to say what status it is in.  The last two buttons are the volume up and down which confuse me because they are on the opposite side of my iPhone's.  It comes with a micro-USB cable and an wall USB power adapter for charging.

This would also work well to connect to a laptop or tablet with Bluetooth for Skype calls because built in microphones and speakers tend not to work so great on them.

Pros:
*Has an internal battery so it can be used without being plugged in all of the time.
*Very good audio quality with noise canceling on calls on speakerphone and handset.
*Feels like a phone, feels nice in my hand, and it fits in the cradle very nicely.
*Can answer/decline a call just by saying "yes" or "no".

Cons:
*Volume buttons are on the opposite side than I am used to on my iPhone.
*No way to turn off the function to accept the incoming call by voice and just use a ringtone instead.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars.

The handsets are small & light and come with an optional belt clip.

The sound is clear even next to the wireless router. The range is excellent. It sounds great throughout the house and around the yard. The speakerphone is clear & loud. To get off speakerphone, you have to press "talk" rather than press "sp-phone" again.

If you're a caller ID subscriber, you can block calls for specific numbers. The phone will ring once and immediately hang up. You can add to the shared phonebook or block calls from any handset by manually entering the number or selecting it from the caller list.

Messages can be accessed from any handset and remotely.

Some other useful features are talking caller ID and alarm (once or daily with tone & melody or 7 fixed voice announcements) for each handset.

The intercom feature between the handsets is also nice.

I recommend this cordless phone system.

This phone is a good combination of both the "corded" and the "cordless" worlds of phones.  The corded "home station" of this phone will work even if the power is off, which is something many people overlook when buying a phone.  The adjunct handset can be put anywhere there's an a/c outlet, and doesn't require a phone jack.
I have telephone company voice messaging, so the Message Waiting light is a real plus.  The speakerphone has good sound quality.  My only complaint is that the home station doesn't have any autodial keys for frequently called numbers.  All stored numbers are in the main directory.  Also, interestingly, there is no place on either station to record your own phone number.
However, my likes outweigh my dislikes on this phone, and I definitely recommend it.

Perfect sound, clear and just what I wanted for my elderly mom. She get power outages and without this phone she is left with no phone contact, due she has wireless phones.

This phone set is perfect for my needs.  The base wired portion needs to be connected to the incoming phone line in order to operate.

Note, the corded phone can be used even if the power is out as long as the phone line is still live.  This is an important feature to me since cell reception is spotty where I live.  The screen, caller ID, answering machine, etc. will NOT work, but that is normal for landline phones.

The cordless handset only needs power to the handset cradle to charge.  The cordless handset communicates directly with the base, so if there is no power to the cradle the handset will still work as long as the battery is charged.

Sound is clear and I haven't heard complaints of sound quality from callers on the other end.  Signal strength for the wireless handset is adequate for my needs, the base is centrally located in the house and I can go anywhere inside without issue.  I haven't taken the handset outside to test the maximum range.

All in all, I am very happy with this purchase, and would buy again if needed.

I use it to plug in a standard cordless phone headset.  Works well.
