Reviews

The users have been satisfied with the features it offers but have some reservations regarding the design. They are not satisfied with the design and interface and consider the absence of time/date display a big miss and the messages which are replayed do not contain the user ID so the user has to look up the no. to confirm who sent the message. But otherwise it is considered a good phone with long talking time and good digital answering system.

It is very easy to use and provides the users more control on the phone as the users can configure a lot of the options to suit their needs. The cordless set has longer battery life and is very easy to use. The wireless range that the cordless can work in is very good. The voice quality is very clear and mainly due to the DECT 6.0 technology. All the sets share the same directory which is very handy for the users as it helps in using any set without having to save contact numbers on each. The display is very clear and attractive. The ability to pair it up with cell phones is awesome and provides so much convenience to the users. The users can use this set from the landline line as well as the cell phone line. It provides convenience and the perfect way to stay connected.
