This is a terrible phone, don't waste your money on this! Don't be fooled by the 2.4Ghz or the DSS features, they're all a waste after you hear the quality of the phone. Constant hissing, echoes and just terrible sound quality. I returned it after only 2 days and 2 phone calls. Check the reviews of the GH2415 or the GH2410 at circuitcity.com, essentially the same phone except w/o the answering machine. AVOID!!
