Dont but this phone. The tonal quality of the average call is actually like that of a bad cell phone call. As for battery life, well I havent found the battery running out while I was talking, I have had to charge it every couple of days sometimes less and I dont make calls every day (the longest call I have made with it is 25 minutes and yes I have replaced the batteries because I thought they were defective). I bought this through ebay and if I could return it and get the phillips dual phone but I cant so I’m stuck with it, dont make my mistake
