The only pro in this telephone is that you can speak via Skype to other users, but as landline is awful. I really think is not worth the money not even if it's half it's price.
I got one of the first phones made. The new phone synched up perfectly.This Amazon retailer was very nice and very responsive. It would not link up with base unit. After some frustration with tech support at Linksys, I finally got them to send me a new phone. I highly recommend them.It is so nice to have 2 phones posted around the house. The Skype service with a $ 3 a month fee enables us to call any phone in the US or Canada for free.
I must dial the number or pull it from my phone book, press the call button, then it asks if I want to make a Skype or landline call, and then I have to respond to that. It does the job - even if barely.3. This phone is not very portable. At times it refuses my password, which is the right one.6. No speed dial.3.
Sometimes the phone does not ring at all.5. Has really cute ring tones.I may return this phone and try the Phillips one. It crashes frequently requiring time consuming phone resets.2. If I try to fix this functionality (it is fixable in theory), I can't.
It pretty much stays at home.10. Not that expensive.5. To make one call I have to go through many steps. My phone then crashes, which requires a re-start and my password, which takes about 30 minutes for it to accept. For those who have been reading wonderful reviews of this phone, I provide you words of caution.
Why I do not love this phone: 1. It's just not what I'd hoped for, especially after reading such great reviews.The good things:1. It is better than nothing, and Skype is cheaper than a land line.2. When it is working right, it works ok, with only a slight tunnel-like echo.4. There is no redial button either.8. There are two sides to this story. Sound quality quickly disintegrates.- By that I mean echoes, static, pauses, and complete silence.4.
Note: I do not just have a freak phone. Not fun.7. Not very attractive phone.9. This phone fills my expectations at the absolute bare minimum. My parents got the same phone, and complain about it regularly.
There are none. They talk about being able to add up to 3 additional expansion hand sets. Guess what. Not on this site or any other site. Your only option is to buy another base until plus handset and throw away the base unit.
Why should the extra handset CIT400H cost more ($129.99)than the box and the handset CIT400 ($89.99).Can anybody explain this to me.Bewildered.
