I am not very happy with the phone. Worked fine so far and just 6 months later having problems with battery. It stays in the base all the time. If I pick up the hand set, I can talk for 5 min before I hear the beep to recarge battery.I have the same problem as M.Lewis, the handset seams to be losing connectivity with the bas station. I have to walk the phone back to the base station and put it back into the cradle for it to recognize it again.
