Detailed Test Results

This phone has excellent voice quality when talking and listening. We found this phone's ease of use to be good. Very good message quality, generous 21-minute message recording time, and very good answerer ease of use. Can pair with mobile phones and headsets via Bluetooth. A Bluetooth headset is included. When paired with a mobile phone, you can transfer address books and make cellular calls. Can conference handset to handset, as well as with an outside line.

Phone features include a lighted keypad, which is essential if using the phone in a dark room, any-key answer, voice-mail indicator, and multilingual menus. It's Energy Star compliant. Answerer has an audible new message alert, and you can record answerer greeting using a handset.

On the downside, phone lacks auto talk and a headset jack, which is a useful feature for hands-free operation. Answerer lacks announce-only mode.
