Good Phone

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2008

I have had these phones for a little over a month and I had only one problem, and that was with a set of batteries that came with the single addon phone. This issue was quickly resolved with contacting Philips technical support directly and they had a new set shipped out within a couple days. The phones sound great and I have not had any other issue with them. I believe I have done well in choosing these phones.

Run from this phone!!!

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2011

This phone is awful, except for the styling. It looks nice. It works like crap. Sometimes when I pick it up, it just goes blank. I have to re-link it with the base unit. All of the phone in this Phillips line are really bad. The panasonic ones stink also. I'd recommend the DECT Motorola ones. They're the only ones that seem to work okay.

I want to get rid of this phone!!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2007

We bought the Philips dect phone with high expectations and it doesn't meet any of them! The range on the phone is minimal and it cuts out all the time. I thought that dect phones had a better range than the 1.2 Ghz phones but apparently not this one. The phone feels flimsy in your hand and the buttons cheap. We haven't figured out why the call-waiting doesn't beep when there is someone on the other line. Sometimes the phone pulses during the dial tone to let you know there is a voicemail, only to find out after dialing voicemail that there is no message. I don't recommend this phone at all.

Philips disappoints

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2008

Update 10/29/2008
Over the past few days, the product constantly keeps going to "searching" and drops calls. I am looking to buy a Panasonic DECT phone now. The Philips goes to junk.

Let me first say, that in the one year that I've been using the phone I have not had any issues with call quality or range. But then the phone is just ok. The user interface is not very intuitive and I would call it very mediocre. Simple features like phonebook sharing are missing. Every once in a while, the phone goes "searching" a few feet away from the base. Battery life is also just ok, not great. Overall, this seems like not a poorly engineered but un-engineered product meaning no one seems to have paid attention to features and functions. The Philips Skype phone I bought also has the same mediocre quality and is infact very unreliable. Sorry, I am not going to buy any Philips products in the future.

Simply the Best I found

This phone replaces all the terrible corded phones, answering machines, caller ID boxes, Intercoms, and many other phone gadgets I acquired over the years. It also eliminated the entire quirky in-home phone wiring that I now have to pay a third party to maintain. Simply put, you need only ONE active phone jack to plug the main unit into, and from there, all the satellite handsets connect wirelessly. If you need a phone in a different location, you only need to attach one of the small handsets to an electrical outlet. Garage, pool, garden, wherever. The DECT 6.0 frequency no longer interferes with my 2.4 Ghz wireless internet router, and the signal is far superior to that of the old 2.4 and 5.8 phones. The battery life, I heard was questionable, but the phone comes with cheap rechargeable, AA or AAA. The phone uses ordinary rechargeable not the special or proprietary type, so get some good ones at the corner market. Voice clarity is outstanding. Works like a cell phone, enter number then, "talk" to dial. The look and feel is a European-design, sleek and small, with easy to see illuminated buttons. You won't be disappointed. Philips nailed this one. You may opt for the color screen version, but it is larger, more expensive and cumbersome but doesn't add any additional features. Finally, you can use the speakerphone on all handsets, retrieve messages from all handsets, and transfer calls and just use as an intercom between rooms in your home. There are many other features so read the specs for yourself. I am totally pleased and have ordered more handsets for about $27 each.

Good overall telephone

Good phone. Relatively easy to use. Hate the digital delay - but I guess you got to live with it. Semi good range 200 feet from station.

Worst phone I have ever owned

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2010

Verified Purchase

I had a panasonic set for years that I liked, and after it quit working we thought having a phone with dect would make the sound clearer, and we liked the looks of it. We bought the system and needed two more handets. The battery life was horrible on these phones. After using them only a month they had to go on the charger after every call. It wasn't just one handset, but all four we had. Trying to connect these additional handsets to the main until was next to impossible without several calls to phillips who has terrible customer service. The sound was not very clear on these phones, lots of computer interference that I don't get on the att phones, so after only having the set in use for about a year two handets had completely quit working, so we bought an att set that is still working just like new a year later.

if I had the boxes

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2008

If I had kept the boxes , I would return this Item. This is a very cheap quality and menu of a wireless phone ans system.
The Intercom is a Joke. Oh well, One loss for me, One win for Philips and Amizon.

Not too happy

The phone hangs up on people a lot. The buttons are on the unit so if you try to hold the phone with your shoulder, it hangs up. If you are eating or chewing gum, your jaw hits the button and hangs up. I would not recommend this to anyone unless they correct that defect.

Nice Phone

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2008

I never encountered any problem with this phone like the ones described before. Range wise, I use one handset about 40 feet away from the base station day in and day out, through rooms and hallways. No problem there!
Design wise, this is the most best looking phone outside of B&O that I've found. Beats all the ugly Panasonic and Vtech products out there. This is the best value for money, and a solid "5" for me
