I bought this phone in June '08 and immediately I didn't like it- the volume is very quiet and you can hardly hear the person on the other end of the line, even when the volume is at its highest. You also have to key in every telephone number twice as you need to enter them into each phone separately.
I thought that the phone would have lasted a while, although it doesn't work at all anymore and only displays 'searching'. I have had someone look at them, but apparently they can't be fixed as the basestation is broken. Grrrr! So, if you want a phone to last long term, (and longer that 10 months) don't buy this phone! I'm very disappointed.
