calls were very faint, almost imposssible to hear. I was truly
disappointed as it is so difficult to find a good landline phone
nowadays. Test it out carefully once you receive it. Don't let it
sit idle in the box.

*** The caller ID just doesn't work. *** I have other phones with caller ID on the same line which work fine. Then I see in the manual:
"This product meets the applicable Industry Canada technical specifications" (a hint this might not be best for a US customer) and then:
"You may need to change your telephone service plan to enjoy this [the caller ID] feature. Contact your telephone service provider if: more info
