We ended up buying one of those that comes with 3 phones and 3 bases, but only one needs to run into the phone jack. I believe it is a vetech phone. We have had it for months now and love it. Plus with 3 phones, as long as you hang them up, you never will have a dead phone.

We have a Uniden phone ~ it has a phone/answering machine plugged into the wall and then a cordless base. We've had a few years and have had no troubles or complaints with it.

Mine's a Vtech w/ 2 handsets, ans mach, and it's great.

There's a great site which lists what's on sale for all the stores in a particular state.

Not sure what state you're in but for Calif the url is:

www.salescircular.com/ca.shtml

For Arizona it's www.salescircular.com/az.shtml

So just put in your state's abbrev and scroll to Phones.

All I did was see what's on sale then search that model & "reviews" to make sure no1 had horrible things to say about it, since I think the technology is mature enough that just about any company CAN make a good one.

I had bad luck with Uniden, but I know others have not. I love my Panasonic.

I loved the Panasonic set we had at the office -- it was great. We have a vtech that I bought about 8 months ago -- with the three handsets -- and two out of the three already have batteries that have burned out. We're actually good "battery people", too Seriously, we do all the right things -- even though with the NiMH batteries they aren't supposed to have memory problems. Who knows . . . if 100 people buy them and ONE is going to go sour -- guess who it will be???!!!

I purchased Panasonic however this happened: I callled home from work and my husband couldn't hear me...only when I called from work phone...when I called home from my cell it was Ok. I brought the Panasonic back.

Now I bought a Radio Shack and it is like two tin cans and a string! Very tin sounding and muffled. I have to return it too.
