I love it
Its great for my home office. I love it! I am going to get them for my small staff.
No network connectivity problems for me
I have three of these devices in one office space. So far, I have had absolutely no interference problems between the phones OR with my wireless network.
In fact, I have two different wireless Linksys routers in the same office, neither of which has a problem.
One is an older 802.11b device that we have set up for visitors. It allows external internet access, as well as access to a public printer. This connection has been used by at least two-dozen different people, each with their own laptop, without any problems.
The other is a newer 802.11g device used by Staff to access corporate network resources. I have had sporadic reported problems with network connectivity, but in the end the problem turned out to be because of a Siemens phone used by in an neighboring office. Once that Siemens phone was turned off, our connectivity problems went away.
On a side note, one Staff member was operating a rogue Apple Airport in our office for a few weeks. He had one of these Plantonics phones sitting on his desk, a few feet from the airport which was hidden in a desk drawer. Even in that close proximity, there was not interference.
One star was deducted because you cannot answer the phone while it is in the charger - a problem if you experience extremely heavy call traffic - more than 5-6 hours of consecutive call time per day on average.
Great buy for home office or just home use
I rarely write reviews for things like this, but I always appreciate other people writing them so I felt compelled.
I work from home about 30% of the time and I am in a job where I'm on the phone 4 hours a day at least. I was tired of the neckaches I'd get working at home....cradling my phone in my neck for hours at a time wasn't working for me, so I came on Amazon and bought this based on other reviews.
It is WELL WORTH the $. Already I use it while typing on my computer, while cooking, while taking out the garbage. My husband was talking on it the other day while painting our basement!
The headset/sound quality is very clear and the small phone piece clips right to your pants. I want to buy one for our other rooms I love it so much. The numbers on the keypad are a bit small so you can't type phone numbers really fast, but who cares. So far I'm finding this to be better than the headset I have in my office at work!
Highly recommended if you talk on the phone a lot for a home-based business, or even for a mom who wants to be able to hold her kid and talk on the phone at the same time. An excellent buy!
