Summary: nifty phone but BAD SOUND
Review: Cool machine! Nice rotary button A loudspeaker helps a lot compared to my previous phone so when Pac Bell (or other institution) puts me on a long wait I can do other things in my house. There was only one headache: On a recent trip to Paris I was remotely reading messages and suddenly erased all messages OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I just found recently how to do it: press * (BACK) OR # (NEXT) It's wonderful that I discovered that. I will rate it 4 and not 5 because the numeric sound quality is poor (just make a greeting interlaced with some music, you can hardly tell the music. Old tape machines had better sound) Is any engineer reading this?: Can I take the machine appart and install a better chip with more megabytes? E.S.

Summary: This is it
Review: Has all the Features we were looking for...and Preforms them all well.....Well worth the Money , easy to program and not a million confusing buttons that are Uneeded.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty good, I'd buy another w/o looking around
Review: I bought two of these phones for my parents (for main phone and a home office phone). The great thing about the phone is that it has a digital VM and Caller ID in one phone. It also can be set to have the VM pick up on the first ring when a telemarketer calls (and blocks their number). The VM is annoying because, like was already mentioned, if the power goes out, your greeting is erased. Two other annoying things, you have to listen to the whole message before erasing it and the VM doesn't shut off when you pick up the handset. I'd buy another one if it meant I didn't have to look for a better one.

Summary: A difference of opinion
Review: I just purchased the above phone for my parents. I did so based on the excellent reviews from others that appear above. I must admit, I was sceptical in doing so, since I own a Casio/Phonemate product which I am unhappy with. My skeptism was justified. The display on the phone is barely readable, just like mine. When my mother used the phone for the first time, she said it sounded echo-ee. I have a Phonemate cordless phone which is about 7 years old. It was excellent. However, when Casio merged with Phonemate, quality went down the tubes. There is no doubt the phone has many nice features, but does a poor job with the basics such as sound quality and display. Stay away from this one.

Summary: Its not a good one.
Review: I was quite pleased when I first got this phone, as it is very easy to program--something I was able to do without reading the instructions. It has decent sound. But: 1.No battery back-up. If power goes out for even a second you lose your message (there is a computer voice that takes over until you re-record) 2.Doesn't turn off greeting if you pick up another phone in the house 3.Will not selectively delete message--it's all or none.

Summary: Color is a problem
Review: I've had this phone for a month now, and it has been wonderful. It works really fine. Casio has come up with great product. Its design is relly good and looks great...I give it 4 stars for its value. Only problem is its color-> white. I wanted black....but could not get it....

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: many negative points
Review: If I would know before ordering that: 1. The receiver has sever echo when you are talking 2.That it gives annoying soundes during dialing 3.That answering machine does not stop when you picking up parallel phone. 4.That automatic dialing is inconvenient I would not buy this phone. But I have it now and will use it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good price for a good instrument
Review: It gives a good value for the money you pay.
