The full-bodied handset fits snugly between ear and shoulder, but it's on the bulkier side. We like the large, rubberized keypad, and while they're not backlit, the numbers are relatively easy to read in low light. This wall-mountable cordless phone's caller ID function stores up to 40 names. Overall, the caller ID feature worked well; however, the information occasionally didn't appear on the screen as quickly as we would have liked.
Thanks to the phone's 40-channel autoscan feature, we generally had clear communication with callers. But since this is an analog model, it doesn't provide the most-secure transmissions, and we did experience frequent inference. As for range, we managed to get decent coverage of up to 125 feet, which should work for anyone with a large one- or two-bedroom home. Additionally, we met the rated five-hour talk time.
Since this system neither includes multiple handsets nor offers the same level of security as digital handsets, we don't advise getting this phone for your small business. But if all you want are minimal features and decent range, this model isn't a bad deal.
