My first 2.4Ghz phone experience and I was disappointed. The phone looks great but the speaker muffles the messages when playing back. Playback of the msg's are slow too. You have to make sure you get the phone just right in the cradle too or the leads don't make contact and it won't recharge. Reception was fine most of the time but every one in awhile it will cut in and out for the person on the other in like you're driving in and out of dead spots on a cell phone. Not recommended. I'm getting rid of it and getting something else.
