I purchased the twin pack of this phone for 3 reasons: the built in answerphone,the sleek modern design, and the hands free capability.
The phones are great to look at and don't need a lot of space however the answer machine appears to only randomly takes messages (or cuts the caller halfway through leaving a message) and the speaker phone is near useless with neither party being able to hear much of what the other one says. Sound quality is also poor with lots of backgound hissing and whistles.
I've had my phones for less than 6 months and am alreay looking for replacments.
The reason for 1 star? Funky design, but pretty hopeless for everything else.
