Query: Too much background noise and static

Purchased this phone because of the multiple handset phones available, the handset was bigger than the others. Prime concern in a cordless for me is the clarity of the sound. This phone had very noticable background noise and occasional static. I found it hard to use for these reasons. Took it back and got a second but, it was just as bad. My old Ameritech 900Mhz Digital had no static at all. Wouldn't recommend this phone if background noise and static are a concern for you.
