First and foremost. I never review products. But I felt this phone had gotten a bad rap I needed to set the record straight. Other people have reviewed this phone poorly and if you are an elderly arthritic ridden individual that might be the case and I quote "its to hard to put the batteries in the phone" quit crying!!! if you can't manage your fat clumsy fingers to get the battery in place, use some needle nose pliers! I put them in with no problem and I am 40 yrs old. Next "People cant hear me" My parents are in their late sixties and hard of hearing and they heard me just fine.

The only issue I have is the headset is larger than the average bluetooth headset, but that is my only issue. Its comfortable and I have been on conference calls for serveral hours without it dieing as well as the handsets. Tip for anyone who buys this, to copy your directory listing to your other handsets it must be done from the base.

I love this phone, its sexy, mobile, and comfortable. I am a bit teckie but I think the average person can work this.

The phone looks great on my desk, but had less than desired sound. If I turned my head while speaking into the handset, the person on the other end of the phone couldn't hear me. They said it sounded like I was turning my head to speak to someone other than them. I liked the sleek design and nice look on my desk, but it's a phone...it has to be able to act like one! You must be able to both hear and project your voice. I returned it to the store and purchased the RCA 25424RE1 corded phones for the office and absolutely love them. Best purchase ever. Have not had one bit of trouble with them. They were a bit more pricey, but worth every penny.

      There is a problem with the phone as we had to exchange for a replacement with in the first 25 days. After receiving the replacement phone the same problem occurred. There is a problem with the built in jack on the base for line one.

      I cannot recommend this phone unless you like to shop for phones as it seems to have a manufacture problem within the phone base.

              Don't buy this phone. I have never written a product review for anything before but this phone is HORRIBLE and I have had so many problems with it. What is worse than the phone, is RCA customer service - there are several notes in the instructions, etc. to call them directly and NOT contact the place where you purchased the phone from, so I have - several times. The phone needed to keep being 'reset' to work (all sorts of different problems along the way, including the volume buttons have never worked on the headset) and then it stopped letting me dial out all together and resetting it wouldn't work. I had the phone company come and check the line and it's the phone. I had to jump through hoops with customer service and am currently waiting 7-10 business days for a replacement but doubting it will be any better than the first one and just wishing I had just bought a different one to begin with and thinking I should just return to staples.com and figure out a new option. Ugh.

              Comments about RCA 25270RE3 DECT 6.0 2-Line Corded/Cordless Telephone with Cordless Headset:

              I have a small home office. Since 2004 I had a two-line AT&T phone with cordless extensions that served me well, but they finally had worn out. I have tried several models to replace them (including the AT&T TL86109 DECT 6.0 2-Line Corded/Cordless Telephone with Bluetooth Technology and The Panasonic KX-TG9391T DECT 6.0 2-Line Corded/Cordless Telephone with Answering System). I liked the bluetooth feature on the AT&T, but not enough to overcome two deal killers for me: The menus on that phone were terrible! It was like 5-6 clicks through menus to see the caller ID. And both this and the Panasonic had no mute feature!!! Can you imagine an office phone without a mute feature? So I returned both of those and settled on this RCA. Overall I am pleased. I miss the bluetooth, but the cordless headset on this model mostly makes up for that. It only has 100 phone memory vs AT&T's staggering, 6000, but I don't need to have the numbers directly in my phone with my computer sitting right here, so I can live with that. Your results may vary. :-)

              I think the call clarity is great. The range on the headset is the same as the cordless handsets, so unlike my old bluetooth headset, I can walk around. I like that. It has a do not disturb feature, which I like since I have a home office. It is nice to turn off the phone ringer after hours. The menus are logical and easy to navigate, so this is fine too. It has both mute! and Hold! (It also has a transfer feature, but I haven't used that yet).

              I don't use the answering system as I have voice mail with my phone provider. So I can't comment on that. It does show me if I have voice mail though from the provider, so that is nice.

              Downsides:
              The buttons on the base are very "clacky". I wish they were more soft when pressed.
              You cannot tell it which line is default. Some of the other phones had this feature and I REALLY wish this one did. Down in my office, I want line 2 to be the default when I pick up the receiver. Upstairs, I want the extensions to use line 1. As it is, I have click line 2 first, then pick up. Bummer.

              Overall I am satisfied. I wish however that one of the many phones here had ALL of the features:
              2 lines
              Bluetooth
              Mute
              Hold
              Do not disturb (with more programming choices)
              bigger directory
              link to your computer to program
              Soft buttons
              Provider voice mail integration
              choice of default line on each handset
              Shared directories on all handsets
              quick access to caller ID

              This phone has most of those, and so it is the one I kept. 4 1/2 stars.

                  Thank you for your email. the range of the cordless handsets is roughly 300 feet without interruption in open air, but about 100 feet indoors where walls and floors can frequently weaken the signal.
