| Not good, even when I turned off my wireless LAN. Poorly made and not durable at all. The 2.4G range is too croweded and we live on a half an acre. Siemens dissapoints. Will not buy a 2.4G again. Someone needs to develop a bluetooth that uses a different frequency. | |
 Nice Handset | |
| I have used this system for about a year and now have a base unit and 3 extension units. I've found it reliable, very durable, and easy to use. I appreciate the adjustable volume controls on the handsets. The range and clairity is fantastic. The batteries, though, seem to need constant re-charging. Also, the design discourages balancing the handset on your shoulder and holing it to your ear. But, really, this is a great improvement over the last generation of cordless phones. | |
| Solid, but not for the Plug & Play Crowd | |
| I first bought a 2420 system with 2 auxillary handstes to support my home office throughout my home. I was pleased enough to then buy a 2402 system with 5 auxillary handsets for my residence lines. (I should add that one of my handsets, 6-months old, simply stopped working for no apparent reason, but I've had no other performance issues.) The handset size is comfrotable and ideally proportioned. It can be clipped to your belt or carried your pocket. The handset's features are complete, (except that there is no intercom feature to track misplaced handsets). Reception is also great. A big plus is that the auxillary handsets use any type of rechargeable AA battery. Be forewarned, however, that someone in the house should read the detailed instructions that accompany the system. This is a sophisticated system. Summary instructions are embedded in the handset's LED and may be accessed by scrolling, but the LED instructions are cryptic. I, for one, did not understand them until after I'd read the User's Manual, (a first for me). But once you've completed the Setup procedures, you'll need only to remember: "When in doubt, take the phone away from your ear, (apparently a difficult motor skill for Teens), look at the LED screen, and press the button below the appropriate command." |
