RTX DUALphone 4088 Extra Handset (White) 96101225 Multi-W

Good concept item which eliminates need to have 2 different handsets for 2 lines. 1 for Skype and 1 for landline. Somehow initially the interface on the phone seemed slow however after the initial couple of updates that applied automatically, it worked better. The automatic update was a good feature. Its a pretty simple phone with good sound and its great that you can add additional extensions as I did with this one.I initially got the sset with 3 phones and the base. Then I bought this single phone to add to that set and worked like a charm.

Product works very well and replaced my 3088s, which started to fail after years of reliable service. One important note: if the handset will not register with the base station, press the reset button on the base station and hold it down for 15-20 seconds. This appears to be necessary to clear some previous settings. After do this, it is only necessary to hold the reset button for a second or two to re-register the other handsets. This is discussed on the Skype forum, but mentioned nowhere in the very limited product documentation.

Having owned these units for two years now, I've noticed battery issues of late. When not used, the rechargeable batteries don't stay topped off. But if you use them frequently, the contacts seem to connect better and the batteries stay charged. Don't buy cheap rechargeable batteries for it.

Much improved phone from the 3088 model. Needs to have a really good like 24hr charge before using so you can get a decent battery life.The range is really good, the speaker phone works well but it will drain your battery faster. I use it with headsets and it's really clear. I actually use it for work recieving calls and I see hat as long as you place it on it's base between cals the battery life is not so bad. It's great having this option when I don't want to have my computer on.

My family abroad have a Skype phone and I sent them this extra handset. They mainly use it to receive and make calls, and it has been working fine. They had some problems setting this extra handset up, as it could not find/register with the base station. After several months, I visited them and fixed the problem by resetting the extra handset and the base station (and also turned power up and down) several times. It was able to find/register with the base station after that. There have been no problems since.

The phone arrived on time and well packaged, after 2 months the phone stopped charging, it would recharge all night and would only work for 15-20 minutes. It constantly has to be on the charger, very disappointed in this product.

I wish they had colored the mobile sketch (green for pick up/red for hang up) other than that, a great phone.

The handset phone sets into its cradle at a better angle than the older version making it easier to place the handset, thus the phone begins recharging immediately. Also, the clarity of the voice signal has better quality. Some friends say my voice signal to them sounds better.
