Spend your money on a better phone. I bought the Uniden EXA-2245 2.4 GHz Analog Cordless Phone with Digital Answering a few months ago. I have never had a problem with Uniden before, but this is the WORST phone I have ever had. There is so much interference. I can't have a phone conversation without hearing 3-4 other conversations at the same time. The most irritating part is that the interfering conversations are crystal clear, while my conversation is static-y and oftentimes lost completely due to the interference. Even sitting right next to the base does not help. THIS IS THE WORST PHONE! My old 900mhz phone was better than this. I have to buy yet another phone now to replace this piece of junk. The answering machine part is OK though.
