Negative Positive
Title: Started out GOOD, then went from BAD to UGLY
Review: I used the Siemens 2420 with 8 handsets for 3 years. It has great features, but has had some reliability problems which ultimately proved fatal for this phone.THE GOOD: Easy call transfer, intercom, caller ID log and answering machine. Sleek appearance.THE BAD: Very limited range - I had to locate the base in the middle of the house for the handset in the far corner room to work. Generally susceptible to interference. After a couple of years, one of the handsets refused to hold a charge even after the batteries were replaced. After 2.5 years, one handset also started generating pulsing static noises on most calls, making it unusable.THE UGLY: The base station allows outgoing calls, but locks up on about 50% of the incoming calls. The LCD lights up every pixel and resets the entire system, with no way to answer or identify the incoming call.I finally decided to scrap the system and replace it with a Panasonic - hopefully that will be more reliable.
