Returning the phone

Strengths: Asthetically nice, calculator is a nice touch

Weakness: My hands free does not work, beeps randomly, when recieving a call, caller ID does not work, their is a ring delay, doesnt even say the caller ID name or number, volume adjustment is limited

I would not recommend buying this phone. The phone looked cool at first with the LCD screen and calculator. However, most of my features do not work. The speakerphone doesnt work, caller ID doesnt work (doesnt say name or number) when recieving a call, the phone has a 2 ring delay. The calender is not even right. It has the wrong days for 2007. I am returning this phone today, extremely dissapointed

phone review

Strengths: compact

Weakness: ring tone very hard to get set

I bought the phone today and am for the most part pleased except I can not get the ring tone set
Everything else is easy to set up. I like the talking caller ID but it would be nice if it said the name as well as the number

you must be talking about a different phone, cuz this one has nothing close to talking caller ID, or changeable ringtones.

I bought this phone yesterday and it seems to work fine, the only problem I have is that the talking caller ID doesn't seem to work, (it's the phone that has that feature), and neither does the caller ID itself although I have that through my telephone company. Does anyone know anything about this telephone, the directions leave a lot to be desired in my opinion. I have another telephone with talking caller ID, could that be why that feature isn't working on this telephone??? I really like the design and purchased it for my granddaughter because of the caller ID feature's and am disappointed that they don't seem to be working.

I PURCHASED 4 OF THESE PHONES AT THE SAME TIME THINKING THESE WERE NICE .BUT THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO TROUBLE SHOOT PROBLEMS AND THERE IS NO PHONE # TO CONTACT ANYONE WHEN PROBLEMS ARISE ON HOW TO TROUBLE SHOOT PROBLEMS WITH YOUR PHONE. ONE ONE PHONE IT CONSTANTLY SOUNDS LIKE IT IS REDIALING 3 OR 4 DIGIT NUMBERS ONLY. AND ON THE OTHER PHONES I CAN ONLY GET A FAST BUSY SIGNAL. AT THIS TIME WE CAN'T RECEIVE ANY INCOMING CALLS NOR MAKE ANY OUT GOING CALLS SO NOW I HAVE TO GO AN BUY ANOTHER PHONE FROM A DIFFERENT COMPANY. I JUST WISH THERE WAS A WEB SITE FOR TROUBLE SHOOTING OR A PHONE # TO CALL.

Touch-Panel/ Caller ID Speaker Phone

Strengths: different angles, soft touch pad

Weakness: headset and speaker volume is low, even when adjusted

I would recommend to others, very neat looking phone. no need for addtional gadgets. the handset feels like a cellphone in your hand.
the caller id is a lot more readable with the stand up angle.
the calculator I have not tried yet.

How do you get it to stop that annoying beeping that occurs every few seconds-- sounds like it wants to dial by itself.

Good phone for its price

Strengths: Apart from its visual appeal (it looks great!), a big plus are the feauires like speaker phone, caller id, etc - because you do not get all these features on a regular phone at this price.

Weakness: First, it runs only on battery. You kind of expect a phone to draw power from an AC plug, otherwise all memory etc may get erased if battery dies. Second, no volume control whatsoever. This is minor.

The LCD panel is attractive (at least to me and to my kids). If you are talking on speakerphone and the phone gets a push (or its physical position changes abruptly), the speakerphone gets cut off and the line transfers to the handset. I am not sure whether this is a defect with my particular unit, but considering that nothiing happens if the phone is kept still, I did not go into the hassles of returning.

For the price I paid, this is a very good phone, recommended for everybody. A cute gift idea, too. If I had bought it from Overstock, they give the choice of blue/ gray body, but Bundle City did not give me any choice. I went for Bundle City for the price (it was $3 less including shipping).

Though there is no volume control (neither on speaker, nor handset, nor ringer), the volume level is not too harsh nor too low, so it is okay.

i think i know what problem you're having. the switch under the handset is sensitive, and has a clicking feel to it. when your phone gets bumped, it's enough to jostle the handset around, so the switch gets enough room to pop up a little, and because of the clicker's resistance it doesn't go back down. thus, your speaker gets cut off.

We have had this phone for some time and are very pleased with it.
The only problem I have now, our are wants us to add the area code for dialing out and also to change a phone number seems impossible to do. I have the very limited 'OPERATING MANUAL', but nowhere does it tell you how to delete and change the numbers stored.
Can some body help

Innovage LCD Touch-panel Phone

Strengths: Large easy to read keys

Weakness: Short cord from phone to receiver caused phone to be pulled off table top when used

I liked the phone -- I had ordered it a year or so ago for my husband to set by his recliner. However, because the cord was short between phone and receiver, it was constantly being pulled off the table as he used it. I wanted to replace the cord with a longer cord BUT the cord is permanently attached both to the phone and to the receiver and therefore cannot be changed.

For that reason, and that reason alone, the phone was inadequate for us to enjoy using and was replaced by another phone.

you get what you pay for

Strengths: design, lcd display, touch-screen-type buttons, speakerphone, calendar/date/time, caller id, calculator, 2-line input.

Weakness: power source, night-light drains batteries quickly, quiet speakerphone, loud ringer and loud key tones.

got mine at walgreens for $10, a pretty good deal. but it's not perfect for what it does.

i wish it could be plugged in instead of wasting 3 AA batteries every few months. (BIG negative.)
the ringer volume can't be set, and as such, it is very loud. that's annoying.
and, the key tones are very loud, through either the handset or speakerphone. and the sp-phone is otherwise quiet - you have to get real close to hear the person talking.
i also wish there was some way to show the caller id's name information - as it is, it only shows the number.
the handset is pretty good, but it caters to lefties - just look what side you have to pick it up on!
i'd recommend to not use the night-light - it drains batteries, and can make you lose information easier. but that's not what i bought it for anyway. however, do notice which color model you're getting. i got the gray one, and it looks great. but if you're a guy, you might not want the blue one, because the plastic cover over the night-light has a pinkish tint to it. that's exactly why i went for gray.
also, this phone has 2 line-in jacks, so it can answer calls from two lines. unfortunately, the same-sounding ring is used for both lines.

umm you just pick up the phone. if the speakerphone is active, picking up the handset will make it switch. to switch back to speakerphone, push the speakerphone button ONCE (it will not switch immediately) and hang up; the speakerphone will kick in automatically.

quick question

I understand you can use 2 lines on this phone. How do you do this. I am planning to get vonage and want to use the same phone for both my vonage and land line. If this is not possible is there an adapter you can get to use one phone with 2 lines

thanks in advance

Hello there everyone.

I just purchased an Innovage Phone.Unfortunately there was not a manual booklet in the assembly box.

Can someone tells me how how to lower the ringer tone and mute the phone totally?

Some of you do have copy of the manual can someone e-mails it to me.

Cheers.

i don't understand why you are all posting replies to ME asking for the manual. cuz i don't think i ever said i had it. if some of you would read the other posts in here, your questions might already be answered. and if the rest of you can't make out the manual that somebody posted above, i can't help ya there.

in other words, i have no manual.
but i just figured out stuff on my own.

I have the Operation Manual for this phone however some things are not clear. To switch from 12 to 24 hour mode it states to hold down the up & down buttons for 3 seconds to change between 12/24 and you most be at the main display screen.
What is the main display screen?? I have tried them all.

Hello, my neighbors across the street has bought one of these phones and couldn't get it to work, so they came to me for help. I've gotten as far as to being able to accept incoming calls and being able to join outgoing calls started from another phone in the house. My only problem is making an outgoing call from this LCD phone. I can dial in a phone number and the phone will make the tones for the numbers, but it will still give the dial tone after my dialing and then after five seconds, the operator comes on and gives her "If you'd like to make a call. . ." speech. If anyone could give help as to how to make outgoing calls with this phone, I'd appreciate it.

This message is for gmail (I don't know your user name). How did you manage to set up the date and time. I bought this yesterday, while I can use the phone (receive incoming call and make calls) but not able to set up anything. Please let me know how do I set up various functions, if you know. Thanks.

Hey folks just experiment around with the buttons or a combination thereof.

I managed to set a few options by just pressing them.

No use in asking for a manual when no one is providing one.

EACH TIME I GET AN E-MAIL ADVISING ME THAT SOMEONE HAD WRITTEN I DOUBLE CLICK ON THE LINK GIVEN AND I GET YOU.........

SO I THINK YOU SHOULD HIT THE INAPPROPRIAT TAB SO THAT YOU CAN ADVISE THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THIS SITE WHAT IS GOING ON.

3. EVERYBODY BE CAREFUL. I WANTED TO GET THE INNOVAGE PHONE THAT VERBALLY GAVE THE CALLING NUMBER. THE ONE I GOT DOES NOT.

Not Worth the Money

Strengths: Looks good.

Weakness: Didn't work for very long.

Phone part works. Call ID only worked for a short time. Screen face works off and on and never has the right time and date. It was a waste of money.
Was a Christmas gift last year and will be replacaed this year with something
better.

Cheap

Strengths: Fun to use (while it works)

Weakness: Doesn't work very long

The touchpad stopped working on ours after only a few uses. It would only dial "O" (not a good thing with little children in the house). The speakerphone and "on hold" music also stopped working at the same time the keypad did. Thankfully, we bought ours locally (at Walgreens) for $9.99 and could return it easily. The old saying "You get what you pay for" is true.

hands free volume

Strengths: n/a

Weakness: can't set the hands free volume. Followed instructions but can't make it work.

Please advise how to set the hands free volume and save it at that level. I tried to follow the instructions included with the phone but they are not very helpful. A more comprehenseive operator's manual would be helpful. Thanks, M Kane

Innovage LCD phone

Strengths: Sleek looks, caller ID, speakerphone, calculator

Weakness: No provision of AC supply

It is one of the least inexpensive devices available given the features it has. The text size is optimal. Doesn't occupy much space. I wish there was an external power supply which would obviate the need for batteries.

This is a unique unit that will do what it says.........you just have to get use to the weaknesses noted above. For the price, you can't beat it.
