Nice for the price.......2001-09-14
A nice little phone that meets all my needs. Clarity is much better than previous cordless.
Only one problem.......2001-07-13
A very nice little phone. Only problem is that we can't get the Caller ID to work. We have tried everything.
Excellent Cordless Phone.......2001-05-21
The Toshiba FT8809 cordless phone is an excellent phone to buy when you are looking for a cordless phone with Caller ID. I also have another cordless phone, but it does not have Caller ID and is still working pretty good. I just wanted to have caller ID in the palm of my hand. With my old cordless phone I would always end up leaving the phone somewhere where I could not find it, so the feature on the Toshiba Cordless phone that enables you to locate/page your phone when you don't know where it is is good feature to have. For you people who always seem to misplace things get this phone you won't ever have to worry about losing it in your home. And programming and/or saving numbers in this phone is very easy to do and not at all that complicated. Personally I did not have to look at the instructions. It is pretty much easier to program than a digital cell phone, although it works like a digital cell phone. The only thing I wish it had is a little red light that blinks repeatedly after new callers have called and you did not answer the phone or were not at home. You have to press the CID button (Caller ID) in order to see who called lately, it will say NEW CALLS:1 or so. But overall it is an excellent buy.

Didn't work as advertised............2007-04-29
I had great hopes for this product. I set it up as per the directions and at first I thought it was working, it transmitted the cable signal from one room to about twenty feet into the kitchen. But, the ability to change the channel via the "IR mouse" and remote just didn't work. Period. So, I switched the cable set up to feed the "raw" cable signal into the splitter so the transmitter got 25 channels. I was able to change channels and this would have been acceptable had it continued to function this way. But, now once the unit had been running a few minutes, the remote no could no longer function. At first I thought maybe it was a dead battery and so I replaced it but, once again, the remote stopped working. At this point, turned it off and re-read the instructions and went over the wiring setup. This was about 15 minutes after which I turned the units back on and it appeared to be functioning. I watched a little of the golf match and when a commercial came on, I tried to change the channel and nothing. Not one button the remote functioned. So, at this point I've decided to send the units back and try my luck with the manufacture.
