I bought this phone only 1 year ago , for alot of money, and now it won't even work. At first you would only get the "out of range" message every once in awhile and it would only last for a minute. It kept getting worse and worse until now the phone will not work. All you get is the "out of range" while standing inches from the base unit.Also the programing of the phone is confusing. I have read and re-read the manual I don't know how many times and I still can't get the time and date to work.This phone is the biggest waste of money. You're better of buying a cheap phone that at least you know will work.
