Phone Recommendations

[M.D. Holloway]

So with the "Phone Fiasco of New Years Eve" behind me, the charge has been set to find a replacement.

I don't know how many of you have looked into phones but the selection is rediculus and the features are mystifying. And what about brands? Panasonic, GE, Unidine, Sony? What the heck?

So, here is what I was thinking as far as general specs:
1) Look to get one of those that come with three handsets, one answering machine.
2) Good range
3) Caller ID
4) Lost Phone page
5) Good battery life

Can't really think of anything else that would be needed. So, any ideas?

(May also want to add high durability as well!)

I looked for a long time...I purchased a Panasonic KX-TG5571 with 2 additional handsets and I'm absolutely happy! The set allows up to 8 handsets. I love this thing. The talking caller id is entertaining as well. Still a rebate on them as well. Best price I found was from this business on Ebay....they are termed as "returns" but I'll be damned if they aren't new...they sure as hell look and function like it. Complete with full warranty as well.

Here it is with one extra handset for a bit less. The additional handsets go for $49 and a $10 rebate.

Staples has them on sale right now for a good price as well.
