Review title: Very Disappointed!
Product review: When I first got this phone a year ago, I noticed a loud buzzing in the handset (like a chainsaw), unless you hold your finger on the charging contacts while talking, or if you use an add-on headset. This phone also laacks dual keypads, meaning you have to dial from the handset first, then turn on the base speakerphone later. I found this to be very inconvenient. Using a headset (not included) makes this a little less troublesome. The "backup battery" I installed in the base (an extra from VTech) doesn't retain the basic functions during a power outage (loses time anyways.) The second battery does allow you to make and answer calls when the power is out, though. Now, a year later, the phone cuts out occasionally, keeping you from hearing your party on the line, and has even disconnected about half a dozen calls now. I will NEVER buy a VTech cordless product again!
