Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was very excited to get this phone when I switched to VOIP (Vonage). Since VOIP only gives you one jack, I wanted a phone with long range that wouldn't interfere with my wireless network. I've had this phone for three months and am very disappointed. The phone works great within 50' of the base, but has big problems beyond that. I installed the base in my home office, but had no reception in my BR at the other end of the house. My house is a 2000 square feet ranch with the kitchen in the middle. I ran a phone wire from my VOIP modem to my kitchen to have the base in a central location. Even from here I cannot get good reception in my BR which is now only 52 feet away. There are two rooms in between, one bedroom and one bathroom. I made sure that no appliances are obstructing the signal. I wish the base had an external antenna to extend the range.
