Forgot to mention, u will feel like killing yourself if u get call waiting, literally the phone beeps so loud and cuts off the incoming sound totally, and keeps on beeping even though the phone is disconnected from the waiting line... and when u put down the phone you will see 25 missed calls :( My handset also has an irritating constant "kirk kirrk" sound all time when a call is made.
