Siemens 8825 2.4 Gig. Base for Corded 8800 System [Posted on 2004-09-10]
I agree with most of the comments I have read on this web page about the 8825 system. I owned an earlier 2420 system and it was the best. I bought a used 8825 system with 4 handsets. The sound clarity is terrible. Range is not as good as earlier 2420 system. Terrible clicking sound on all handsets. Despite all of these issues, however, the most terrible problem is that when the base system (8825) is fried by a storm or surge, there is no way to use the cordless handsets (I have 4). There is no way to repair them and Siemens has no answers or tells one where to get service. Siemens told me when they get one back that is under warranty, they send out new ones. I told the technician that they have to know who fixes the refurbished phones but they claim they do not. So, I had to spend another $250.00 to get another used base system in order to use my 4 cordless phones. No technical repair support has caused me not to ever consider Siemens phones again.

My 8825/8800 is great [Posted on 2005-03-21]
My Siemens 8825 works great as did my Siemens 2420. Besides working very well mine have proven to be very rugged. The handsets are my 2-year old grandaughter's favorite toys. She has pushed every button on on all four of them, dunked one in a cup of juice, and threw one onto the tile floor. They all still work fine. I wouldn't buy any other brand.

I've had expensive Sony and Panasonic phone systems that didn't even come close to the Siemens.

I agree with the other satisfied Siemens owners here--if reading directions for electronic equipment isn't your forte a simpler system might be for you. One question--Why the heck has the 8800 handset price increased from $65 to $200?

Great Phone System [Posted on 2007-01-30]
We've owned our Siemens Gigaset with three handsets since August of 2003 and have never had a problem. The phone and handsets have worked flawlessly. My wife spends most of her evenings on the phone to her sister and mother, if there was any problem with it I would know.
I've owned three different Panasonic models and a Sony and they don't come close to the quality and longevity. We love the voice announcement for caller ID however, it only works from the corded base station, not the handsets.
It does take a little technical savvy to get all the bells and whistles working, but this is one great phone system!

Great product, the best phone set I have ever owned [Posted on 2007-09-25]
Unfortunatly after 7 years my base station went out and I have chosen to upgrade to a newer model. If you have the base station this is a great addon. I was able to get to 100 feet easily..

PESIMO TELEFONO, PESIMO SERVICIO [Posted on 2008-04-16]
Realmente esperaba muchísimo más de la marca SIEMENS. Este es el PEOR teléfono que he tenido en mi vida. Las funciones de identificador de llamada nunca funcionaron a pesar de que me aseguraron que sí lo hacían. La señal es un desastre. PANASONIC es y seguirá siendo infinitamente superior en telefonía vs. SIEMENS. Es decepcionante. No gaste su dinero y ahórrese malos ratos si está acostumbrado al buen servicio post venta. En SIEMENS simplemente NO EXISTE.
