5870 phone system
(4 out of 5) by Mark on Dec 11, 2003 (Clinton, Maryland United States)Pro's Many features easy to program nice style and comfortable to use. Better than average reception almost no hiss and I have lots of electrical equipment set up in the house.
Con's Call waiting ID feature did not work (might be isolated case I don't know)
Conversation volume fades in and out during use. went to support web site says this is normal for this type of phone (5.8 GHz).
Sorry I had to return it.
Poor sound quality in answering machine...
(3 out of 5) by C. Vachon on Nov 27, 2006 (OH)I love all the features that come with this phone so I hate to give it up. But it has always had muffled sound quality in the answering machine messages that are left by incoming callers. It has gradually gotten worse. It's impossible to understand what people are saying if you try to call in and pick up your calls from another location. I am hoping that by changing the battery this may improve. I have had this phone for 3 yrs.
Caller announce cannot be made louder or longer
(3 out of 5) by William M Deck on Nov 25, 2003 (North Royalton, Ohio United States)Just a so so phone, nothing to brag about. Caller announce cannot be adjusted and hard to hear unless standing by the phone. Not worth the price.
