Detailed Test Results

This phone had very good voice quality when talking and listening. Good phone ease of use. Features include a lighted keypad, any-key answer, voice-mail indicator, chain dialing (handy when entering long strings of numbers), and multilingual menus. The phone is conferencing capable with an outside line and is Energy Star compliant.

The answerer has very good message quality and adequate 16-minute message recording time. It's very easy to use. It has an audible new message alert, and you can record the greeting using a handset.

However, there are a few issues with this model. Phone lacks auto talk and headset jack. Answerer lacks announce-only mode.
