Telephone Reviews

Bought this phone right when 2.4 GHz phones came out. I thought it would be an upgrade over 900 MHz phones. Boy was I wrong. The static on this thing is ridiculous. You will be talking with someone and all of a sudden its 95% static. Completely annoying...recommendation: AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I bought this because it was the cheapest 2.4 GHZ phone at Best Buy. Bad idea.

Overall, the battery life has been the worst of any cordless phone I've had, and the reception, though starting off clear, gets progressively worse as the conversations go on. Usually, within 20 minutes of starting a conversation, I have to switch to my 900 mhz to clear up the reception.

I definitely would not recommend this product.

This phone was listed with LCD features but not suitable for my needs.It was shipped by Beach Audio.Contacted Beach to convey my disappointment and return the telephone.I was required to go through ridiculous red tape procedures plus $10.20 shipping and "required insurance" I purchased this phone on Nov 17, 2003 and returned it on Nov. 23,2003.My visa was originally billed for $94.85including shipping&handling.I paid a total of $105.50.Until I called today there was no credit on my Visa.BeachAudio is allowing me $79.52. This is highway robbery.

I recently purchased two of these phones for my office to replace two very disapointing GE models, as soon as I had them set up, I immediately bought a third for my home. It might seem to be a minor detail, but even the batteries were included. The hands free feature is excellent, programming is a snap and fairly customisable, the intercom is great, it's expandable up to eight extensions, great sound quality all around. I hope that panasonic will make a cordless model that is compatible with this system.

I have owned THREE of these (two of them have been ordered from Amazon) and all three have broken. They work well for a few months and then it shorts out so I can only hear in one ear, and eventually I can't hear at all. I love the style and the price is good, but in the end all I'm left with is a jumble of headsets in the trash.

I bought these headphones thinking they would be pretty decent because of the price. And they work great except for one thing. They should come complete with a roll of black electrical tape. I've had these for about a month now and the wire cover has split everywhere, exposing the wires inside. Now I'm not an expert in electronics, but I'm guessing this is a bad thing. So my advice to you is, if you decide to purchase these headphones, buy a roll of black electrical tape to go with them.

I asked for 1 Recoton T123 3.6 V, 2500 mAh Ni-MH - Panasonic 2.4GHz Cordless Battery.

and I got 1 of Recoton T123 3.6 V, 1210 mAh Ni-MH - Panasonic 2.4GHz Cordless Battery.

When I sent the item back for refund they deduct shipping for this item though it is their fault to send me the wromg item.

Whats up with that?

This phone was just awful! When we bought it, we kept being unable to get a dial tone, and frequent calls to tech service did not help. Each person I spoke to said the others didn't know what they were doing. I finally realized, after doing everything they said, that the phone wasn't making contact with the base, and when that happened it wouldnt give a dial tone when we picked it up. You had to slam it into the base as many as 7 or 8 times to get it to contact. Then it wouldn't charge, or hold a charge. There is a remote "locating" tone, but that doesn't work either, because it beeps more loudly at the base station than the phone does, so you can't hear the phone's sound if they are both within hearing range. This phone was a complete waste of money.

I had this phone, all the numbers rubbed off!!

After setting up this phone I used it to make a few calls. I immediately noticed a lot of backround noise whenever I used it. The noise was there whether making or receiving calls. When I switched back to my old phone on the same jack, the noise was gone. I'll be returning this one.

I only gave this phone one star because there is no "0 star" option. I bought this phone and within ONE WEEK it had deteriorated to the point where dialing required slow, hard pressing, and often still didn't register... sometimes it would pause/mute during the middle of a conversation and it randomly hung up on people. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND A PHONE THAT LASTS!?!??!

Uniden cordless phone quit working after 4 months (bought NEW). Customer service gave us no satisfaction after calling and talking to 2 people, and thru their web site. They only told me to mail it back, at my own expense, and they would try to fix it. It would take "at least 30 days". It would not hold a charge no matter what we tried, and we tried everything. I told CS I wanted another new phone because I only have antique dial phone to use for the month. They were neither helpful or courteous. BUY SOMEWHERE ELSE, their Customer Service is no service.

Uniden cordless telephone quit working after 4 months. It would not hold a charge, and believe me we tried everything. I called customer service and talked to 2 different people. I even tried emailing them. The only help they would give me was to send it in, at my expense, wait at least 30 days, and they would try to fix it, and send me the same phone back. They did nothing to help, even after explaining that I did not want to be without a phone for 30 days. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. This phone stinks.

I purchased this battery because it is listed as a replacement for a Sony BP-T31 used in a SPP-S9101 cordless telephone which has a spare battery charging compartment.

The Sony BP-T31 is a 3.6V, 600mAh, Nicad battery
The AGAIN & AGAIN STB-931 is a 3.6V, 700mAh, Nicad battery

When I received the battery, it was dead: it tested at 0.0V - a bad sign.

I put it on charge in the spare battery charger compartment for 3 days - it came up to 2.5V. It wouldn't power the phone.

I swapped it with the Sony battery in the phone & charged it for 5 days in the phone while charging the Sony battery in the spare battery charger. The Sony battery read 4.05V (it's 2 years old). The STB-931 read 2.547V - it still wouldn't work.

The Sony battery continues to work fine but the STB-931 never would work.

The Sony battery is no longer available; this is the only replacement I've found. I needed this one because my spare Sony battery died.

I rotate batteries at every discharge. It's not what the Nicad battery manufacturers recommend but it's what THEY do.

The STB-931 DOES make a nice paperweight.

The audio on the cordless phone is really bad quality. The voices crackle a little over the phone and seems a little muffled like on a walkie talkie. Theres some static too when people talk. Not every good. I wasted my money on this.

Waited two weeks after paying for expedited shipment and never received splitter or email from vendor. If you want a splitter in your lifetime - do not order from this vendor.
