" ... I especially like the feature that allows you to block callers from future calls and all the other features these phones have. ... "
" ... Block caller is very effective for unwanted calls! ... "
" ... Love the block call feature ... "
" ... Liked the way all phones link when deleting calls or viewing calls ... "
" ... Easy to set up and very easy to hear messages and delete as needed. ... "
" ... I like particularly like the call block feature. ... You can program the phone to ring once on blocked calls or not ring at all. ... Lastly, you can choose the number of rings before the answering system kicks in. ... Overall, it has proved to be a very helpful land line phone. ... "
" ... I got it for my grandfather who was getting tons of sales calls every day. ... He loves the call block feature. ... It was also great to connect to his cell so even when he sets his cell somewhere else in the house he can still hear the phone. ... It is also nice to know he can make calls even when the power is out! ... "
" ... I can finally have meaningful conversations without having to ask for either one or both of my parents to repeat themselves over and over (and over) again as the phone cuts out (despite fresh batteries) or simply degrades voice quality/volume into oblivion. ... Still, it's refreshing to communicate via a phone that it seems someone actually tested for you know, speaker/mic performance, etc. ... "

" ... I like new phone especially that it uses rechargeable penlight batteries in the handsets. ... "
" ... I love that it has a corded phone so when the power goes out you can still place calls--as long as there are batteries in the base (rechargeable when there's power and regular once the power goes out and the rechargeables have died) or when both handsets are dead. ... "
" ... Best feature for me is that the base unit can hold rechargeable batteries, so during a power failure both the landline and cordless handsets still works. ... "
" ... The handset has good battery life and has a full charge by morning. ... "
" ... The base unit has a backup battery so the phones continue to work during a PG&E power outage. ... "
" ... Very reliable and includes rechargeable batteries. ... "
" ... I like that these use regular rechargeable AAA Batteries, and that the base also has rechargeable batteries (I haven't had to try that out yet) I don't use the answering machine part because I use the answering machine feature provided by my service provider. ... "
" ... The phones I ordered came with batteries and the batteries are very long lasting. ... It has been over three days of use on the one charge. ... "
