Remanufactured Sony SPP-A2780 2.4 GHz Expandable Cordless Phone Answering System with Corded Base

saw the price for twenty dollars less at best buy advertisement. went to circuit city to buy it as best buy further away. got major run around by staff, usual denial of purchase protection/price guarantee by circuit city. just when it looked like things were going well—-their computers crashed and i walked out to get food for kidss. you may asked why i have never really bought from circuit city—service stinks, major problems with stocking sale items, and the feeling that i am going to get ripped off

The telephone’s logic (ie. storing numbers, retrieving numbers, going through messages etc) is superb. No complaints. However it fails abysmally at simply being a telephone. Since telephones are all about hearing what someone is saying, it is very dissapointing to hear its poor audio quality. This problem is most prominent with respect to the speaker in the base unit. One uses this speaker when reviewing incoming messages and when using the speakerphone function. In these two uses, my phone’s audio quality is so bad that it is irritating to use it. Many messages are difficult to hear and this is despite selecting the high sampling rate option for incoming messages.

To make matters worse Sony is playing by the rule book when it comes to me trying to return the phone.

I have no idea if I simply got a bad unit or if this is a bad design. The sour taste could have been lessened by user-friendly customer support. It was not.

My first Sony phone was faulty. One problem was that the phone would not charge. I was instructed on how to ship back to company and I paid for it.I was told I would be reimbursed. I never received the phone. I was told by Cozy Nook rep. that phone was shipped and delivered to my house (He tracked it he said)!! Meanwhile,it was never received! I was told by e-mail that it was! Go to Amazon to complain. I personally tracked it and it was sent to Woodland, CA!! Very far from PA!. I did receive phone now, was told a mistake was made, but no apology for calling me a liar! Hopefully the replacement I received today will work……Can’t afford this in this economy!

What can I say? I like pretty shiny things.. add blue to this.. and I couldn’t resist.

I walked in to BJs one day.. and just HAD to have this. I really didn’t need another cordless phone but it was just so so pretty. I get home set it up pretty quickly and register the handset with the base. 5 minutes go by the base is ringing I go to pick up the handset and nothing. It couldn’t connect. That should have been a sign. In the few years I’ve had it it’s only intermittently worked as advertised. Within in the last year caller id info will NEVER show up on any of the handsets and will only be displayed 1/50 times so if you like to know who is calling you, you’ll simply be stuck with **RINGING**.

I don’t think they still make this phone. I believe Sony has completely abandoned their cordless phone line but if I am wrong.. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.
