I bought this phone on sale thinking I was getting a good deal. I should have looked at why there were so many still in the store. I charged it up over a weekend while waiting for the phone company to connect our line and all I get while I am trying to talk to someone is a shrill buzzing noise. No matter where I walk to in our apartment it still is a loud obnoxious buzz. Also when talking to someone syllables and words are cut off even when scanning for another channel. This is a terrible, terrible phone. I am taking it back and will pay the extra money for a better phone. DO NOT BUY--Not worth it!!
