I have these, I bought a set of 3 with Airmiles points. Only 2 worked, and these treat me to a blasting ear piercing screech occasionally for a reason we can’t pinpoint. We think these phones have a sense of humour combined with a big attitude. I agree about the blue light comment. WAY too bright. And my small 2 bedroom bungalow frequently finds me OUT OF RANGE. Avoid at all costs!

I bought a pair of these phones for use with Vonage and my experience is the absolute same as yours. Heck, for a second there I wondered if I’d written this blog post myself while drunk and since forgotten about it – that’s how similar our experiences are.

The blue light of death has been a constant irritant – the wife throws laundry on the phone overnight to kill the shine – and the range on our second set is a nightmare.

On the ground floor set, things are pretty decent – just the usual Vonage dropped calls now and then while downloading. But the second set is based upstairs, about forty feet away, and it’s a nightmare. Constant popping, drop-outs, fading in and out, ‘out of range’ messages.

I just wish I’d taken them right back when we had the problems and not blamed Vonage for six weeks while our return policy expired. Now we’re stuck with the fricking things.

Avoid.

LOL! I went throught the same thought process when making the purchase. Too Funny. Bought it over Christmas thinking it would be a cool new phone (Stocking Stuffer for the wife!) Anyway, other than the light their are no other features to rave about with this phone. I’m wondering why some one has not invented the home “cell” type phone. A home phone that you can connect to Outlook (Your PC) to download your address book, have Bluetooth for an optional headset, all the good stuff we love from our cell phones. Heck, make a home Black Berry.

Sorry to hear about your purchase, but hey, at least you can think of yourself as one of the first home phone reviewers online. How has VoIP worked out for you, in general, though?

Thanks for the phone info. As for the bright light I’d try a swipe across it with a permanent marker like a sharpie. It’s worked for other lights dancing in the night.

i purchased this phone (before reading your site)
and i haven’t any problems with range, (for a 2 bedroom 2 level house built in 1921)
but that blue light on there is overly bright as hell, and i can’t get my phone to be loud enough to hear well, but for it being on sale for 75, i may have been a good deal

I had one given to me for Christmas 2006. Worked great – for about a month! No problem with range – while it worked. The base unit quit. So, exchanged it for another – this has also just quit. Gonna look for a different type now. Used to trust Motorola for a good product, but no longer.

Well, great. I saw a phone like this in a local store, and found other reviews that said it ok. Plus it looks cool and the buttons are large, which is important for my purposes. But now I have to find another phone. I like Motorola, too. I don’t trust Uniden. Mixed reviews on the range, but bad blue light. Gotcha. Next
