Summary

The range on this phone is very impressive.  It is capable of 100 meters easily, but exhibits difficulty with concrete and metal structures.  If you are located in a basement or substructure, or the building is made of thick brick or concrete with rebar, it is possible to experience some interference.  Ironically, if the handset is used next to a microwave while it is running, the user will again experience some interference.  Compared to other cordless phones, these have a more than decent talk time of 5 hours and a standby time of 11 hours.  Overall, this device ranks a very competitive 8.
