This phone drives me crazy. I've been using it for a month now. We had a panasonic with big buttons before. My phone started having issues so I just figured I had to buy a new one instead of replacing the batteries (which are often super expensive). So, I went shopping and picked up this phone. I thought it would be fine... But, it wasn't and here's why.
#1 Everytime I hold it on my shoulder and I'm reaching for something, the volume button beeps. Ugh.
#2 When I try to go to the directory, it doesn't start at the first name. Always at the second. Ugh. So, I have to go up to get to the first name alphabetically.
#3 The caller id is defective. It doesn't show all the calls. When it does decide to retain a number, it doesn't show up until a while after the phone call has come in. No help screening calls that way!
#4 The caller id doesn't work with call waiting. It will flash up on the screen while you're talking, but unless you interrupt your conversation to look at it, you'll never know who called... because it doesn't record it in the caller id! Ugh again.

I had saved my old phone just in case I ended up having issues, so I went down to the basement and dug it out. I discovered it took rechargeable AAA batteries, which are less expensive. So, I ordered some batteries instead and have switched back to my old phone. I really hope that was the issue with it, because this phone drives me crazy and I really don't want to use it anymore.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
