4 Stars It’s what I needed
I needed a basic no answering machine cordless as my landline backup for my cell phone until I can get a femtocell in my ‘country estate’. This was inexpensive, looked classy rather than tacky, and was by a good brand name. It’s no larger than it needs to be. I’m disappointed it doesn’t wall mount, but not surprised as this seems to be a feature that only I still want in a phone. The sound quality is acceptable and the range appears adequate for me. After 20 years of cordless phone technology and a vast number of upgrades (Gigahertz, Dect, whatever) one might think that the sound quality would be outstanding if not perfect at this point, but there is still some background static, alas. Voices are always intelligible however and there isn’t any noticeable distortion. The handset is nice – it fits well in the hand, is a nice size and weight, and the buttons and operation feel quality. The base is also nicely designed, but since it doesn’t have a fixed mount on any surface, it is too light to feel solid when the handset is picked up or returned. I opened it up and packed the available empty space with modeling clay and this made it nearly perfect.
3 Stars The most horrible ringtone you’ll ever hear… but wait, there’s more!
Phone works OK for its main function (answering and placing calls) and it has a decent but unlit keypad, but as another reviewer noted, its base is much too light. However, its selection of ringtones only includes a few shrill emergency-style blasts plus some extremely obnoxious “melodies” that sound as if the ice-cream delivery truck is parked inside your house with its child-attractor song playing over and over and over. If you get a lot of calls, you’ll most likely want to put this phone in your driveway and back your car over it. Before you buy one of these phones, be sure to find one in a store and listen to the ringtones.

5 Stars Very happy with the L301
I have had this unit for a few months now and have been very pleased with it. In fact, I’m looking for the add-on units to populate other rooms with the same handsets. Call quality has been superb with no interference. Until I read some of the other reviews, I’d never noticed issues with the base weight and ring tones – neither has been an issue for me. Speakerphone works well with ample volume on both ends. All-in-all, I have been very pleased with the L301.
5 Stars Nice, sleek and modern
Just got this phone today. Very simple to use and setup. Didn’t even need to refer to the instructions. Lightweight and comfortable to hold. Large, clear display is easy to read even without my glasses on. Well worth the price.
