poor choice
I purchased 12 of these units for my office and have had constant trouble with them. The customer service help number is worthless and don't see any option except looking for another phone system. The phones intercoms don't work and the sound quality is poor due to too much background noise picked up through the mouthpiece. Placing the caller on hold and transferring to another phone sometimes locks the phone line. These phones might be fine as stand alone but don't buy for multiple phone setup which they were supposedly designed for.

Look elsewhere
I bought this phone 2 years ago and I would recommend you to look elsewhere.

The features are very slow to respond and I keep losing the date and time settings very frequently. Until now, I did not have options for other phones and I stuck to this.

Now, I will buy a 5.8GHz cordless expandable phone system. They have pretty good reviews. ... Read more

Short Life Phone
I purchased two of these phones for mothers day. One had to be returned in one month (Could not be heard by caller). Mailed back to Casio, fixed and returned to me. Five months later both phones do not work. Batteries have been checked. Worked very well when working. Working life too short.

Great answering machine but mediocre phone
I returned this machine for two reasons. The sound quality of the phone was mediocre. Voices were sometimes hard to understand in typical conversation. This model also lacks an auto answer feature which I think is an important convenience. Also, the handset is a comfortable cradle which is rare among cordless phones ... Read more

Amazon.com Product Description

Because the Casio Phonemate CP-750 transmits on the 900 MHz band, it offers clearer sound and less interference than phones using older lower-band technologies. This phone includes call waiting/caller ID and stores and displays up to 50 numbers in its call history list, along with names and the dates and times of calls.

The CP-750 includes Modem Monitor, an especially helpful feature if you use a modem or fax machine on the same line as your phone. Modem Monitor knows the difference between voice and data calls, so it prevents you from accidentally interrupting an online session or a fax transmission when you activate the handset.

The CP-750 handset includes a three-line display that shows the phone's status (whether or not it's in use) and the length of time you've been on your call. This display also shows the name, number, date, and time of each caller in the caller ID log. With "display and dial," you can scroll through names and numbers in the caller ID log or in the autodial memory and then dial those numbers by just pressing a button. When you receive a new caller ID call, a light on the base goes on.

The CP-750's other features include autodialing for up to 20 names and numbers, a toll-call indicator, and hold with extension release. In addition, this phone has a new-call indicator (an icon indicates the number of a new incoming call), a jack for an optional headset, and a belt clip. You can mount the CP-750 on a desktop or a wall; from either position, the handset will recharge and you will be able to view the caller ID information. ... Read more

Horrible phone
DON'T BUY THIS PHONE! Hard to hear, fuzzy. Very short headset battery life (JUST A FEW HOURS) and the unit won't ring or record messages if the headset battery is low. So you can't carry this one around the house, take to the garage or yard for very long, that's very annoying.

The unit goes bonkers when there is a power outage (all it's light begin to flash.) If that happens, the unit won't ring and won't record messages until reset. Resetting isn't easy either. A simple turn off-turn back on to reset would have been a nice. Even changing the day/time isn't easy.

The positive is the moden intercept. If you have a single line phone and you accidently pick up phone or are receiving a fax you won't ruin your internet/fax connection. Other phones won't allow you to pick up by mistake thus ruining you internet/fax in progess. If you want to walk around while talking this is fine. It even has a jack for a earphone/microphone and that works great. Just remember to put the phone back in the charger and keep it there when not in use.

One day this one will go sailing out the window. Then I have to buy a new phone, fix a broken window, and endure a tongue lashing from the wife.

DON'T buy it either new or used.

Nice little phone but weak battery
I bought this phone a year ago in white. It is a small phone and ergonomically designed. Fits hand comfortably but when rested between shoulder and ear, to free up my hands, my earlobe always pressed the mute button. The answering machine works fine, and if you have call-waiting, the flash button is a handy feature.
All in all the phone is nice-looking/ergonomic/priced right, and the sound quality is good. Of course, there is a downside to all this. The battery life is HORRIBLE. 2 hours off the cradle and it's dead! I am forced into buying another phone after only a year. If you don't mind keeping this phone on the cradle whenever you aren't using it, it is a great buy. If you are like me and like to have the phone next to you wherever you are in the house, look elsewhere...

Very disappointed
I have been very disappointed with my Casio phone experience. The first one I bought was returned in less than 30 days due to mal-function. I was given a second one. It lasted only a few months, working only fairly well. Now, it also has mal-functioned. I have contacted Casio's help line (after MUCH difficulty), only to be told to unplug it and see what happens. I followed instructions and it remained dead as a "door nail." I finally became completely disgusted, unpluged the phone and put it aside to be placed in the garbage. Now, I must buy a new phone and I can assure you that it will not be a Casio! Buyers beware!

disappointing
The phone is okay, but the sound quality is disappointing and the ringer annoying. It is comfortable to hold between one's head and shoulder. I have not used the ahswering machine.

the TC-930 stinks!
When it arrived, I was disappointed in how difficult it was to see the phone LCD display (no back light, no contrast control). I change the greetings remotely, and after about one month, this feature ceased to function. After going through the proper channels, which means many long distance phone calls to California, Casio approved returning it to them for repair. I shipped it back, and in only another five weeks, it came back. Now it does not work at all. After speaking to Casio again (more long distance calls to California), they are encouraging me to continue to unplug it and re-set it all weekend, and on Monday they might approve my returning it again.

Meanwhile, I have purchased a Uniden for less money, which works flawlessly.

I will NEVER purchase another Casio product; anyone can make a lemon, but it takes a truly bad company to fail to correct their mistakes. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Eliminate interrupted online sessions and downloads with a phone that knows when your phone line is in use. The Casio PhoneMate CP-720's modem monitor saves you time and trouble and offers all the advantages of 900 MHz operation.

Casio PhoneMate technology recognizes and warns you when an online session, data transfer, or fax is in progress; a bright indicator light on the base and handset flashes. Built-in safeguards prevent you from interrupting the modem, even if you pick up the phone and try to make a call. You can, of course, override the safeguard to make a call. The CP-720 also indicates if the line is in use by another caller on an extension.

The CP-720 delivers the extended operating range expected of a 900 MHz phone. We tested this phone in a building with plenty of walls and electronic equipment; the signal remained strong at approximately 75 feet from the base, but quickly faded at greater distances. The sound quality was acceptable, though not as clear as some comparable 900 MHz phones. We also tested the battery and the CP-720 successfully delivered the four promised hours of talk time.

After one quick consultation with the instruction manual, programming speed-dial numbers was quick and easy. Additional features include call hold, call flash, last-number redial, handset pager, out-of-range alarm, and channel selection.

Uncommon features add to the CP-720's appeal and practicality. The handset keypad illuminates in low-light situations and you can extend the battery's standby charge for up to 20 days by turning on the power saver feature. You can take a call off hold by picking up any extension on the same phone line.

Pros:

• Modem/phone line monitor
• Illuminated handset keypad
• Easy setup and programming

Cons:

• Only 1 ringer-style option

Features

• 900 MHz analog operation
• 4 hours of talk time or 7 days of standby charges
• Modem monitor
• Call hold with extension pickup
• Headset compatible

Features

• All-digital recording
• Call screening
• Voice-assisted operation
• Time and day stamp
• Power failure protection

Basic Call Screening & Answering
The inability to repeat messages can be annoying. Erasing messages can be difficult. However, I have had no problems retrieving messages from remote locations -- which was nearly impossible to do with the ancient analog answering machine that this machine replaced. If you're like me, you probably have free voice mail from your cell phone provider, and your friends, relatives & business associates know they can always reach you via email. So, your landline answering machine's primary mission is to discourage &*#@ telemarketers! This machine does the job.

CasioTA105
Got this machine for free from a yard sale...Works fine but I don't know how to individually erase messages because it didn't come with an operators manual so....I'll try Casios tech # that I got from here unless someone just wants to give me the big ole secret here....otherwise I have to wait for one in the mail....is there a pdf version available?

Smart people read the manual !
Ok, these "user's review" have their share of dummies, but some of the reviews about this great little answering machine top them all ! Beware: don't believe eveything you read !

This Casio of mine has been working perfectly for 2 years now: electrical burn-outs are no problem: the 9 volt battery takes care of the outgoing message and all of the recorded messages.

You CAN erase each message individually, and skip to the next one, without being forced to listen to is entirety. It does everything it claims in the manual, and you would know that if you'd READ THE MANUAL !

Works great ! Buy it if you cand find one !

Basic phone answering with simple controls
I bought mine because it had the fewest buttons with the most obvious functions. It's for my technophobic father-in-law who won't touch a PC and can't operate most of the functions of his TV's remote control. This is the best user interface I have seen for such people. They really put some thought into it. They didn't just put up a group of identical, symetrically-arranged buttons whose labels you have to read to know which to press. I bought mine at Goodwill, so it came without a user's manual. But it was obvious enough how to use it, and the stickers on the back provided enough additional information to ease setting up the outgoing message and correct day and time.

I thank Casio for their attention to the user interface. More companies should do likewise.

The single problem I have had is that the VOX threshhold is a bit too high. Some calls get cut off after 10 seconds (all mine from my work phone) while most of them can go on - presumably up to the documented 5 minute limit.

Great Little Answering Machine
Simple, basic, easy to set up and use, reliable. A very good value for the price. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

The TC-920B combines a phone--with clear 900 MHz transmission--and an answering machine so that you don't waste valuable space with two separate pieces of equipment. Casio locates selected function keys in the handset cradle, an unexpected space-saving advantage for your busy home or office. This unit even monitors your phone line to prevent accidental interruptions of modem or fax transmissions.

The TC-920B's advanced message management lets you play, save, skip, erase, repeat, or file messages with simple commands from the base or handset. You can listen to all messages or only new messages and you can hear them through the speakerphone or, for added privacy, the handset. You can save important messages in a special file for as long as you like.

An array of features adds to the TC-920B's utility. The modem-monitor light warns if your line is busy with fax transmissions or online activity and prevents unwanted interruptions. You can also record and store two greetings and choose which one you want callers to hear. The memory holds up to 10 numbers for speed dialing; you can place callers on hold, take call-waiting calls, or pick up calls on any extension. The TC-920B also offers complete remote operation, with voice menu prompts, from outside the home of office.

We tested the TC-920B's cordless operation in an area obstructed with walls and electronic equipment. The sound quality and signal clarity were fine up to a distance of about 50 feet; at that point, the signal quickly faded, even after switching channels. Though the manufacturer doesn't rate the TC-920B's talk time, it tested at three hours after four days of standby. It's possible that this phone may offer additional capacity for talk time.

Setup and programming of the answering machine, guided by voice prompts, was quick and easy. The answering machine's sound quality is good, though it's not as clear as some stand-alone digital machines. We recorded a combination of messages and greetings; the memory successfully stored 20 minutes of recorded material. The manufacturer doesn't list a maximum message length, but we were able to record a three-minute test message.

Overall, we think the TC-920B is versatile for home or business use, but the limited range may not suit users with more demanding expectations of a 900 MHz cordless phone.

Pros:

• Space-saving design
• Complete message management with handset commands
• Built-in speakerphone for call screening

Cons:

• Shorter operating range than some 900 MHz cordless phones

Features

• 900 MHz analog operation
• Speakerphone
• Digital answering machine with advanced message management
• Voice-assisted operation
• Modem monitor

I WOULD SUGGEST YOU SAVE THE CASH, AND AVOID A LOT OF GRIEF
Less than a year ago we purchased a pair of the Casio MA240's, also at a deep discount price that could not be published. These phones are just plain Junk! Costly yes, but still Junk. So "Put the credit card down and step away from the computer" Problems are many and they start early in the phones life. Problems such as > Volume gets lower and lower as time goes by. The number pad buttons either stick, or dont make any tones at all. Batteries lose all memory in a short period of time, and on top of that , it can be a little complicated to figure out many of the extra features. The best advice I can give you at this time is good luck finding a phone that will last more than a year as we have bought phones that range in price from 19.99 to 300.00 ( for pair) and they all seem to decay and stop functioning within a years time. We purchased our phones new, not reconditioned, and we surely never expected them to go bad, this quick.

Easy phone to hook up anywhere in your house.
This Product when using the MH-200 will give you multiple phones with no extra wiring needed. This is the best thing for you who dont want to rewire your home.

Don't Buy, Even if Discounted
Now I know why the product was on sale, cheaper than the cost of a handset for the system. Range seemed OK although never really tested the full range of the unit. Speaker volume was decreased as previously noted. Battery life can be incredibly short. Truly annoying problem was that our other cordless phones seemed to malfunction periodically (never a problem previously), it would somehow misdial numbers constantly and we would have to revert to the other phones to complete the calls. Bought several of the systems and they are all going back. Should have checked out the reviews previously.

Quality is not good
Agreeing with other reviewers, I have found the quality to be really bad on this phone. People I call are constantly asking me to speak up - it sounds like I am calling people from Mars. The buttons are too small and many times they do not "beep" correctly - an annoyance especially when I am calling into phone trees (you know the ones, press 1 then press 2). I am so sorry I bought this phone. What a waste of money!

WARNING!! Do not buy this phone!
This product is worthless. Don't expect more than six months worht of use, because that's all you'll get. Furthermore, Casio will not assist you in replacing or repairing it. I made the mistakes, but never again. Consider yourself warned. ... Read more

There's no need for separate answering machines or voice mail services just because you have two-line phone service. The TA-180 from Casio PhoneMate answers two lines simultaneously, stores important message in a special file, and functions as a two-line speakerphone. This unit also provides call screening, call hold (including extension pickup), and call-waiting/flash functions. Complete remote operation is possible from nearly any phone, and voice prompts and one-key commands speed up the process.

Setting up the TA-180 was quick and easy; we were able to set the day/time and record greetings and personal memos with little or no help from the user's manual. Multiple greeting modes let you record separate greetings for each of your two lines. Once you record your greetings, you can arrange to have either greeting answer either phone line. Frequent callers can skip greetings by pressing their touch-tone # symbol.

Indicator lights and bold numbers in the large display window indicate newly recorded messages. You can listen to messages for each line separately or combine the playback to include both lines. You can also program the TA-180 so that you listen to only new messages or to both new and saved messages. Voice prompts tally your message totals, reminding you which line you're using, and guide you through playback. The sound quality is good and the synthesized voice is quite lifelike.

Casio PhoneMate's advanced messaging lets you skip forward or back and repeat, erase, or save messages with the touch of one button. If you are interrupted, you can pause playback for up to five minutes. By touching the up/down arrow buttons on the console, you can set the variable speed playback function to play any message 50 percent faster or slower than the normal playback speed. Once you've listened to a message, you can easily transfer it to the message file for long-term storage.

We tested the TA-180's recording capacity by recording and storing a combination of greetings, messages, and memos that totaled approximately 28 minutes, which is the capacity that the manufacturer claims the TA-180 can handle.

The TA-180 provides lifetime back-up memory without a battery. In the event of a power outage, the unit automatically saves your recorded greetings and messages. Overall, we think the TA-180 is a sensible answering solution for a two-line home or business.

Pros:

• Manages messages and greetings for two phone lines simultaneously
• Functions as a speakerphone for two lines
• Constantly displays date and time

Features

• Advanced, all-digital recording technology
• 2-line operation and 2-line speakerphone
• 28 minutes of recording time
• Message file
• 3 greeting modes

Five minutes, and it was installed!
I just had to have a 2 line answering machine, and despite the one negative review, the Casio seemed like the best bet. It arrived, and it was up and running in 5 minutes. It offered more than I expected, and the sound quality is very good.

One person said it was hard to setup and program. It's easier than a VCR, it's easier than a home computer, it's easier than most microwaves. My phone setup is kinda ugly.... the manual covered the different installation options clearly - including my unusual phone setup, and following the instructions was a snap.

All in all, I think the guy who said it was awful either didn't read the manual, or got a lemon.

Very pleased
I am very pleased with the Casio TA-180 2-line answering machine. The quality of the outgoing announcements and the recorded messages are very good. Set up is very simple. Playback operation is one button, what a breeze. Saving, skipping, and replaying messages is intuitive using the buttons and button labels provided. I read the directions once and never looked at them again. And the price is what I expected to pay. Another positive is that the machine does not include a bunch of ancillary features, it's a straightforward, two line answering machine. I am very pleased with the Casio TA-180 answering machine.

What would I improve? The built-in "computer" voice that guides you through the setup and announces the number of messages is stilted and not natural sounding. All in all, no big deal.

Poor fidelity and poor programming
I bought this item because I wanted a 2-line digital answering machine. I was very disappointed in the audio fidelity, but even more so in the programming. For example, both by phone, and on the face of the unit, it is not easy to erase calls. Comparing the programming to other units I've used, or your local Bell answering service, the speed of use is lacking. I don't have a suggested alternative, but I am not ready to see this is a good product.

Even the boss figured it out.
Needed a new two line answering machine for the office that was easy to use because my boss has trouble finding his way out of the driveway. Anyway, this machine was easy to set up. Display is large so you don't have to put your glasses on to see how many messages you have. Voice quality of incoming messages is excellent. Deleting old calls was very fast. Great value for the price. ... Read more
