Review title: Static and crackle
Product review: I had this phone for just over a year. I liked the features such as the LCD screen to display a directory and built in answering machine, but the problems are bad. Besides off and on problems, like not always getting a dialtone when the phone is removed from the base, I started to encounter bad static problems. These would occur if I was only standing 2 feet away from the base. The person on the other end could not ever hear the static so it is a transmittal problem between the base and handset. It is even worse if any appliances are working, especially the microwave. I purchased a 2.4GHz because I thought that a different transmittal range would give great clarity. Well, I now have a phone that is 2 months out of warranty and is unuseable. Stick with a quality 900 MHz phone at a fraction of the price and you will be much happier. I am now using my 4 year old phone.
