Do NOT buy this phone. Awful instructions so never was able to really set it up. I cannot receive calls from my own cell phone for no particular reason. The answering part NEVER worked and often times people try to call me and I receive emails or text messages on my cell phone telling me that they cannot get through. That they are calling me and I am not answering, but nothing rang on my end. YES the volume is up. WORST PHONE I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. Maybe if the instructions were available I could get it working but nope. Have to buy a new phone again. Don't waste your money on this one.

Overview sounded good and I liked the sleek look but, as another review warned - I could not get it to match up with my local landline provider.
