I give these phones a 4. They are pretty neat. A lot of bells and whistles. It is a little confusing, however, being as they are just phones. The caller i.d. is a little more than simple to operate, but once you get used to what buttons to push, it's worth it. I like that I can set up a unique ring for my contacts so I know who's calling without even looking at the phone. It's fun and worth the price. The phone itself works wonderful; no static and they seem to function very well.
