Product Description
See who is calling on the other line while talking on a line! Then let the all-digital answering machine record the message if you decide not to answer the call. 900MHz Digital Transmission operates digitally in the higher spectrum of 902-928 MHz, offering better security, less interference, and improved range over analog telephones. Auto Channel Scan automatically selects the clearest available channel for you. The 2-Line Capability lets you connect and use two separate phone lines. Caller ID with Call Waiting displays the name and number of incoming calls, even when you're on another call. Requires subscriptions to Caller ID and Call Waiting from your phone company; service may not be available in all areas. The unit remembers caller's name, number, call date, and time for review, or instant dialing to return the call, now or at a later date. Requires subscription for Caller ID from your phone company, too. The all-digital Answering System uses a microchip to handle messages for quiet, easy operation, without the hassles of tape. Built-in speakerphone provides hands-free operation, allowing you to work on other things, or answering a call when the handset is in another room. The unit also allows conference calls, or the big family call to Grandma, and provides intercom capability.Amazon.com Review
The VTech VT2960 cordless telephone offers 900 MHz ADPCM digital transmission and security for clarity and privacy. With a two-line speakerphone, answering system, and call waiting/caller ID, it's a complete telephone solution in a striking, modern-looking package.Setting up the phone for basic operation was easy--we just inserted the battery pack, plugged in the AC adapter/recharger, and connected the phone cables to two standard RJ-11 jacks. (At your site, you may have two lines in a single RJ-14 jack.) You control the features through the base unit's 19 front-mounted buttons; there are also two switches on the side and one on the bottom. The handset has an LCD display and 11 buttons in addition to the usual 0-9, #, and *.
We had more difficulty operating the advanced features of the VTech VT2960. Although an audio menu guides you through the steps, using the advanced-feature set (conference calling, memory dialing, caller ID, and setting up the answering machine), was not entirely intuitive without the 45-page instruction manual.
To test the range of this cordless phone, we placed the unit on the fourth floor of an urban office building, subject to many sources of interference. The handset functioned flawlessly over two floors--to about 100 feet. Beyond that, the signal began to cut in and out. The handset automatically searched for the best channel and switched channels as necessary. Long distance and local calls sounded as clear as most corded phones.
With its full suite of features, built-in answering and caller-ID system, and clear sound, this two-line phone would make an impressive addition to a small business or home office.

Decent value.......2002-11-03
A Good Deal.......2002-06-05
My only other quibble is that someone pasted a little sticker over the one-year warranty, to make it only a 90-day warranty. That's probably because I opted to buy through one of the vendors rather than direct through Amazon, but I still think it's kind of cheesy.
But the phone is great!

Polycom SoundPoint Pro 2-Line for Conferencing with Handset & Headset Support
Manufacturer: Polycom Inc. ProductGroup: CE Binding: Electronics Accessories:
Product Features:
ASIN: B00002SX5Y ![]() |
Amazon.com Review
The Polycom Soundpoint Pro two-line desktop conference phone combines support for two lines, three-way conference calling, and caller ID with call waiting into one easy-to-operate unit. Its well-chosen convenience and productivity features make it ideal for your busy family or home office.Setting up the SoundPoint Pro is simple, following the included quick setup guide. A quick reference guide is also included for convenient access to basic phone operations. The slim handset is sturdy and comfortable to hold. The base includes 28 buttons, intuitively arranged, and a large-print LCD. The Soundpoint Pro has seven programming menus, including speed dialing, ring volume, local number storage, line selection, time of day, LCD contrast, and caller ID. While the ringer can only be set to one sound, the volume can be adjusted and the piano-like tone is unique and pleasant.
You can store up to 20 numbers in memory dialing, and you can import them from the caller ID log. To set up a number for memory dialing, we pressed the program button to display the LCD menu. We entered a number between 1 and 20, dialed the phone number and name, and pressed the program button after each step to save. To dial a stored number, we pressed the program button once, used the volume buttons to select the stored number, and then pressed the speed dial button to make the call. The only way to erase a stored number is to program over the old number. If you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting, you can access these functions using the flash button and LCD. There is a 99-number caller ID log.
Other SoundPoint Pro features are a rear microphone, redial, hold, mute, headset, and speaker buttons. A conference button conveniently brings all callers off hold and into a three-way conversation. All buttons associated with conference calling include red and green lights to let you know the status of a call. For example, a red light means the line is in use, while a blinking green light means the caller is on hold.
In our tests of the Soundpoint Pro, we found the voice transmission to be clear and did not detect any background interference. Overall, it makes a fine addition to an office environment. --Emily Bakko
