Does anyone use this phone for home/office near a desktop computer, monitor, or hub/router/switch? If so, does it pick up RF noise?

My phone is on a router and is on the same desk as my computer. I haven't had any trouble with any noise or disruption on the phone. Every conversation is clear as a "bell". No static or anything. I love this phone and am so happy I decided to purchase it. Best phone I have had for a long time. I highly recommend it.

I run mine through a wireless connection and it works great! I never have any issues out of it. I can also use my cell phone app (iPhone) to make phone calls through if I am away from my house.

Sorry, I just saw this message. Everything seems to work fine, EXCEPT, there is a clicking noise that is constant while you are talking and extremely annoying. However, I do not know if it is the phone I also bought or the Basic Talk. Hope this helps.

I would not call it noisy, but then again, I tend to put on my Bluetooth headset and listen to music from my Galaxy smartphone when performing projects with it. Have never had the sound overtake the music!

Hi Maelster.Don't have the box anymore, so can't testify to specs, but....I have mine fully loaded, (cordless phone, 2 printers, computer, modem, router and 2 Magic Jacks) all directly behind the computer. There is no interference on any of the components, where there was quite a bit before on another strip. Hope this helps.WM

I would compare it to the sound of two blow dryers going at once. We have ours in our spare room upstairs and I can sit right next to it and talk on the phone without the other person even knowing it's on!

Range is pretty good, though I use it mainly in the kitchen while my iPhone is in my pocket. I can adjust the volume or skip songs while my hands are damp or dirty. I have been able to go to other rooms and still hear the music playing though the signals breaks up if I go some place like our utility room with a lot metal.

I have a wireless network with wireless printed and several devices. I have never had a problem, or at least noticed one, with it interfering with my home wireless network.

We have other phones in the home and have the wall phone sound turned off. I just did check it, however, and it does work.Only adjustment I have is the side lever with down arrow for loud. As stated, I turned it all the way opposite loud to turn off.we did not care for the ring sound.

we only have two in our office using them. To date we haven't had any issues with losing a call. I do get static from time to time...it is more like a low rumble in my ear. My customers don't seem to hear it but it is unnerving and a little uncomfortable because it makes my eardrum vibrate. It only happens periodically and is easily fixed by turning it off then on again. The older Version (which I still have and use at my other office) didn't do that.

No, I use it to connect with people while I'm in computer room as cell phones are iffy here.

I haven't or my husband hasn't had a problem with call quality. The only thing I find occasionally with our phones is that it shuts off by itself when not in use.

I have this and the manual says unsurpassed range. I live in an apt. that has a basement and I took my phone all the way to the basement and got no static. The sound is great.

No no one has complained about the phone being too quiet. I use the handset, speaker phone and a 3rd party wired Hands-Free Headset.

Very much so. I am also in the work from home category and I use this product with Skype. I have never had a complaint about someone having a problem hearing me and everything sounds clear to me as well. The range on this is also great. My office is upstairs and I can go downstairs and out the door without loosing quality. Of course my house is not huge either :)

It's really not a very loud beep at all. might bother you if you use it in the bedroom. I keep mine at my desk and keep my phone on it most of the day when it's not on me and in use. I hardly notice it anymore and sometimes even have to replace my phone on the pad because i didn't recall hearing the connection beep.

From the feedback that I've received on the other end of a call, yes. It was able to block out my loud visitors during a call. However it will pick up a loud radio, but barely. So if your office is loud, there might be some muffled background noise.
