Is this unit consistent or are there a great deal of dropouts or dropped calls...?

I have had no problems with this device. It works fine for me. For the price i highly recommend it.

For a hands free device it's a great buy. I bought two one for my husband and one for my son. My son uses it all the time comes thru clear and haven't had a problem with cutting out or dropped calls. My husband used it until we got a new car with built in system. I would recommend it to anyone.

Ooma is very evasive when pressed for specifics on technical stuff. I tried to pin them down on a timeline for iPhone support for this same issue; they wouldn't disclose anything other than "some time in the future." Overall, I'm underwhelmed with their service, especially after I had a problem-free experience with Vonage a few years ago. Went with Ooma because overall it was cheaper. I am going back to Vonage for call quality and professional, polite, accurate customer and technical support.

I would say if you're already least getting a little bit of a signal it could help improve it. For me I had just about 0-2 bars that rarely stuck and dropped calls. This game be a solid 1-2 bars that I never drop a call. Of course I've heard others get better results.

I just tried my system and could not detect any difference in the interval between rings, I did notice that there appeared to be a very slight delay from the calling phone to my base phone ring ( used my cell phone to call panasonic, both in front of me ) not enough to be a problem. Have had no issues with my unit and really like it. Problem could be on the phone company side maybe, do not recall anything in the manual addressing this.

I haven't noticed that at all. I've cranked it up past 50 a few times with nothing out of order. Wonder if something else is interfering with the signal?

I have had this phone for over a year and not one dropped call. I am with strait talk and chose AT&T.; I suspect it is either your carrier or your area..... could be both.

There's nothing defective about your unit check the second comment for contacts. I own several of these and the internal component isnt lined up correctly. Best of Luck. Stick with it. The reward is worth the trouble.

It doesn't seem to limit this. I've had 3 handsets active on a single call before.

Hi J. Amos, I've had this phone for almost one year now and have had no problems with "call waiting" or anything else. I love this phone!

I have not had a problem with mine - it is full duplex. It sounds like a problem with internal wiring if it happens on all calls.

This phone has had excellent reception as well as good call quality wherever I have had a 3G, 3.5G or GSM signal. I have not experienced any dropped calls with a signal indicated. I have found that this phone works with a weak signal far better than my previous phone (CDMA network) did.

It's been out for almost a year now as mentioned by some of the other responses. I will say though that I have not had any of the issues expressed. I bought the unit new as soon as it came out and haven't had any major issues that required a send back. I will say that it doesn't have the quickest boot time (~30-45 sec) and the GPS loses its recent history every once in a while but other than that it's a great unit. The GPS navigation is stellar and the wifi works good if you have tethering on your phone or a mobile hotspot. In short, of the 4 units I tried (Pioneer, Clarion, OEM and this one) this Kenwood has been the best. Just thought I would put that out there. Good luck on your search.

Have V1 and never have dropped signals, never even needs a reboot. Not necessarily implying that's the norm but there are good ones out there. Bought it a year and a half ago.

I agree with answer 1 and two. However I have had mixed performance with unit I would not purchase again.

Honestly I haven't noticed any issues with the signal, I mean I've only recently been using it but that doesn't seem to have happenes yet. I live in miami maybe its just location strength?

I have not, but I can tell you it's not doing the job as it's supposed to. It still drops calls in my house. Advice: if you haven't bought it yet, don't .
