Flash button? YES there is one [Posted on 2006-06-22]
I'm not sure if the previous reviewer has a different model or not but there is indeed a flash button. Once you are on a call is the left menu button on the LCD screen. Those who are quite familiar with cell phones will spot it quickly.
I haven't had the phone for more than a day but so far i'm fairly happy. It took a while to find a phone with all the features that I needed but this has them all.
Pros:
1) Base station with speaker phone (hate it when i can't find the cordless)
2) a MUTE button! Very few phones have this these days but it is very important for my home office.
3) 5.8 GHz that won't conflict with my wirless.
4) cell phone like features (customizable ring tones, phone book, "missed calls list")
Cons:
1) The caller ID isn't very smart, even if you have the number stored in your phone book it still shows/says the name that is given over the callerId resulting in a lot of "Cellular Caller" type of stuff.
2) The center rocker switch activates the menu instead of the phone book. This time cell phone users will find this counter-intuitive.
3) No handset speed dial. There is one for the base, but one not the handset.
I LIKE THIS PHONE SYSTEM [Posted on 2006-06-22]
I have three handsets and have programmed different ring sounds for each one,e.g., then one in my home office rings with the Three Stooges singing, "Hello, hello, hello!"
Phone works very well.
The box say FHSS, *not* DSS. [Posted on 2006-12-22]
Deceptive advertising. It should say
FHSS. If you want DSSS, don't get this.
telephone [Posted on 2007-09-11]
I understood this phone was a 'rebuilt' and accepted it as I felt it would be 'better than new'. Was not. Messages coming in were either garbled or fading in-and-out. Both extremely annoying and unacceptable. Not a happy camper.
Best Cordless Phone We've Owned [Posted on 2008-05-27]
Pros: Great clarity, caller ID works well, works well at a good distance.
Cons: Vocal caller ID doesn't seem to pronounce too well.
