Highlights
Quality
Good product works great would order again
Very pleased with the phone and it arrived very quickly
The interface on the phone was too short to mate with the wall mouni connwction
Call quality is about what youd expect in that its perfectly acceptable but not good enough to hear a pin drop across the room
Packaging/appearance
The packaging was very nice and it looked great on my kitchen wall
Competitiveness
The phone is located about 300 feet away from the phone hub and uses 2 wires from a cat5 cable going into an rj11 jack
Make sure you get a wallplate thats required
