Query: Not that great

This phone was given to me as a gift. It seemed to work ok for a while. Functionality is good, even though the sound on the outgoing and incoming messages is surprisingly fuzzy for a digital machine. But after only about a month of use, the receiver has a lot of static. The person on the other end of the phone cannot hear it, but it makes it very difficult to hear anything. Also, there were a lot of complaints from the people I was talking to that they had a hard time hearing me even though I would be talking in a normal tone of voice. This was even before the static problem started. Basically the phone portion is now useless, and I'm shopping for a new phone/answering machine. So, don't think this product is all that worth it unless you don't use this phone except for the answering machine.
