[Electronics-talk] [EXTERNAL]Re: cordless phones etc.

Tue Dec 17 20:16:11 UTC 2013

My ex-sister-in-law bought a new phone for my mother's house.  I had to tell 
her to get a desk phone, so what she got, she blamed on me.  It was this 
horrible phone she got from Wal-mart that I think was a Panasonic.  It 
sounds terrible when you talk on it, and one of my friends says I sound like 
I'm in a box.  So I said to Marie how the phone was horrible, and she said 
to me:  "Well, you told me to get a desk phone!"  Sure, but I didn't tell 
her to get that hunk of junk!  Pam.

Thanks,

I don’t know if my husband will go for it as he is a die hard Panasonic fan.

But I frankly hate that chicks voice that you can’t understand anyway.

As I said before, there are numerous people who call here with cell phones 
and wireless caller doesn’t tell me which one it is.

We have the Clasco thing, but it’s obnoxious too.  At least it tells you the 
number though.

I also like that you can go back and get a number if necessary.
