How good are the speaker phone functions?

It's good enough. Consider it like the speaker on your phone, but not quite as good as the one you might use in a business teleconference.

The sound is good. It redirects the sound to the front. The only issue is now when using speaker phone there is a nasty echo for other people on the call.

I have used it with speaker function on conference calls lasting several hours. No battery failure.

Yes, the handset has a speaker phone feature. The sound is clear and fairly loud even though the speaker is on the back. The handset is curved so the speaker does not get muffled if you set the handset down. I can't speak to the quality on the other end except to say I've had no complaints.

This would be a good choice. LCD display is bigger than most and the number buttons are large and easy to use. The drawbacks are the volume control for the handset isn't very effective and produces an annoying "hum" at maximum volume. The audio assist feature improves the audio, but is not as pronounced as it could be.

I've been using it for conference calls, etc. since I got it. It works perfectly for me. Not super-high end sound for music, etc., but for the price, they work great.

I have used the speakerphone for many conf calls with multiple participants in the room, and I have not had any issues with people up to 10 ft away (could go farther, but I haven't tried it). The only caveat is that there can't be too much ambient noise. The only time I had a problem was when the speakerphone was next to a noisy projector fan. Once we moved it from next to the fan, the call quality was very clear on both ends. The other (perhaps obvious) point I'll make is it will not amplify a "low-talker" or very soft-voiced person in the room. Probably no surprise, but I don't want to give the wrong impression. In general, I would say I am very pleased with the product and would recommend it.

The speaker phone feature functions quite Well. The volume is easily adjustable so the caller on the other end is able to hear you speaking quite clearly.

I had an AT&T; phone before and it was bad. The speaker option on this phone is much better. It is not really loud like on a desk phone, but for a handset it is not bad. I think there is a an option to do speaker on the base phone, but I have not used it yet and I am not sure how good it is.

Everyone is correct there is no speaker phone function for this phone. It mutes,re dials, has an on and off (which you use to answer), flash, set, del, up and down, bright,pause,and an out button.

Yes, it is a speaker phone as well. Actually works really well. Awesome speaker for the money.

Sorry for the delay in responding. The speaker phone is wonderful. I use it frequently while working on the computer at the same time. Sound is fine and people do not complain about being on the speaker.

the handset has aa button that increases sound..not sure if that is what you mean by speaker phone. it is probably not strong enough for a conference phone.

yes, they are phone friendly and allow you to control phone functions like answer/hang up pause/forward track/previous track. phone microphone quality is decent but not spectacular. In the car, or a quiet place they are great. In a noisy place or place with heavy echo (bathroom) they're not great. hope that helps.

Greg, this phone does have a speaker phone which is why I wanted this particilar phone -- and it's clear. The phone itself, however is sensitive. Oddly enough, though, it seems to be adapting to me -- ha ha!

Yes it is a pretty good home phone, not a headset; I like the storage capabilities, and the sound controls.
