The dialing unit includes a back-lit LCD screen, 100-station caller ID memory, and 10-number speed dial--all in a compact size that clips easily onto your belt or pocket.

I work from home and much of it is on the telephone. I am also hard of hearing. I have tried numerous phones with headsets, none of which had enough volume to overcome my hearing loss. In 2001 I found this Plantronics model and it has been a gem. In 2008 after a local search for a new phone that I could hear proved fruitless, I bought the Plantronics again. Once I had the second phone, I tested all the parts to see what it was that "broke" on the original phone. It turned out to be the step-down plug. So now I have two Plantronics phones and am glad of it!

I have used a headset for years, and couldn't live without it! Radio Shack quit making them, and that is the brand I have bought for years and loved it. The Plantronics has tiny numbers, and when the phone fits into the base, it is nearly impossible to get out in time to get the call before the phone stops ringing!

I purchased this phone based on a reference from a friend when I established a home office. I have worked 12 years in a Customer Service department that swears by Plantronics products and I have always been content. I have been very pleased with the performance of this particular phone.
The keys are very small - be warned of that - but the overall size of the phone is handy! The Panasonic KX-TCA60 Hands-Free Headset with Comfort Fit Headband I purchased separately to use with it (seemed to have a microphone that would eliminate extraneous noises better than the Plantronics headset) does not remain plugged in as well as I would like and I have not yet tried to use the Plantronics headset. I have dropped the entire unit several times because of this problem, so I plan to give the Plantronics set a try to see if it remains plugged in better.

This is perfect for home office and for normal personal use. It's very light and fits easily in a pocket. I work from home and most of my work is by phone and I can slip it in my pocket and walk around the house or even cook and do things and talk. I've had several of these types of phones and this is by fare the best in size and weight.

Sound quality is pretty good. No complaints for such a small unit.

I stiil don't know how to set up this phone to use. Not the type I thought it was.
