RCA - 4 line Speakerphone with Call Waiting Caller ID Reviews
Overall this phone is simply not up to home office duty - despite having 4 lines and a somewhat decent speakerphone. I use a Plantronics 900Mhz headset for all talking - not the handset or the speakerphone mic. I bought this to replace my aging Siemen's 2420 home/office system. My Siemens 2420 lasted almost 8 years and I went thru 4 speakerphone bases, and 12 or more handsets - used it for 2 office locations (home and RV) with great results - too bad nobody else has touched this market with an effective product. Perhaps it's time to revisit the 8800;).
The speakerphone base is OK for listening, but not for talking. RCA should learn from Siemens and do a complete multiline speakerphone system with excellent base, intuitive functions to support business users (per-line and per-handset configuration of access, and many other features that Siemens implemented in the 2420 and 8800 series).
Don't try this yourself as it voids the warranty and is functional yet not cosmetically pleasing;).
It supports chain-dialing (unlike some multiline ATT models like the 2.4Ghz speakerphone base - which is now handling my "home" lines). Unfortunately, the speakerphone handset will NOT work with a plantronics HL10 handset lifter - I used a dremel moto-tool to fix the design and now it can lift the handset.
Don't bother with the 'Remote Handset" add-on - it has massive interference problems from local RF sources (home office with lights, wireless headset, wireless LAN, cellular phone - the usual stuff everything should be immune to;). I had read some bad reviews of the Siemens 8800 series 5.8Ghz effort - so I tried this RCA model.
It should support 8-16 wireless handsets, optional repeaters/range extenders, and remote speakerphones on the wireless side - as it stands it is mostly useless and will likely end up in the garbage as soon as I can find a business-friendly SOHO offering. Mistake on my part.
This needs to go back. Second, it doesn't intercom at all with the 254o4RE3 models. Also, FWIW I like the aesthtics of the older model better; sleeker looking buttons and less use of dark colors. Ordered this 'new' model by mistake. First, the phone recognizes only line one when a two line cord is plugged into the first jack.
Needed a 3rd for home office use. The two 25404RE3 phones work fine, but the new 25414RE3 doesn't. To get it to work for my two lines, I have to plug it into the second jack and use line 3 and 4. I have two of model 25404RE3.
