I purchased these phones because of the great price and ok reviews, and I was not at all pleased with their performance. The battery life was very poor. I allowed the phones to charge for 24 hours prior to usage and they still worked horribly.Although the clarity of the sound was great, I could not hold a conversation for longer than five or ten minutes without the battery dying. Also transferring calls was very difficult. Most of the time I ended up accidentally hanging up on the other person. This phone was not a great value. I've purchased many refurbished electronics and have never experienced as many problems. I would not recommend these phones in the future.
