Amazon.com Product Description
The Siemens Gigaset S455 DECT 6.0 digital cordless phone system was developed with convenience and versatility in mind. DECT 6.0 technology provides interference-free communication, brilliant voice quality, and enhanced security. Ideal for large families or small to medium-size offices, the system comes with great features including a built-in 35-minute digital answering machine, and a 150-entry phonebook directory. The system can be expanded to include up to six handsets, ensuring everyone in the office has access to a phone or everyone in the house can talk to grandma when she calls home to swap stories about her Norwegian vacation. The handset comes with a six-line, easy-to-read full-color 128x128 display. The screen relays useful information such as call history, current date and time, and last call length. With the robust display and the easy-to-use keypad, users can even send SMS text messages and send emails via SMS (both carrier dependent). To make texting easy, the handset comes with an easy text entry program--an ideal feature for heavy text users. For added convenience, the system supports up to three separate SMS inboxes (carrier dependent). The handsets come with five pre-loaded ringtones and a bright LED light to notify of incoming calls. The system also features a room monitoring function so you can easily keep an ear on your children when they should be sound asleep. Additionally, thanks to the Gigaset S455's hands-free function, you can make a call when preparing a meal or type an email while on a conference call. Other great features include VoIP capabilities, and a robust 50-meter indoor (300 meters when outdoors) cordless range. Featuring multi-lingual menu prompts (in 19 languages), the handset features enough battery strength to support up to 13 hours of talk time and up to 168 hours of standby time. What's in the Box
S455 base station, S45 handset, AC adapter for base station, telephone line cord, two batteries, battery cover, belt clip, and user's guide.

 Excellent phone October 7, 2008
This is overall, an excellent phone. If needed be, I would buy again.
What I liked -
1. Excellent call quality - both for you and the person at the other end.
2. Don't have any problems with reception within and outside the house
3. 150 names directory
4. Upto 32 digits can be stored for a number - generally enough to store a calling card number, the access code and the contact's number together
5. You can dial in tandem - call a number, then dial any of the numbers in the directory after that (again useful for calling cards etc.)
6. It stores 10 of the last dialled numbers
7. If you don't have a pen/paper handy, you can record the call to recall any information later
8. The fact that if you see an unrecognised number(telemarketer?), you can divert the call right away to the answering machine - don't have to listen to more rings than you want to.
9. Very good battery life and the fact it uses readily available AAA rechargeable batteries
10. Speed dial for 8 contacts, additionally, 1 reserved for dialling your service provider's voice mail
I didn't like -
1. Slow response - especially takes a while to register key presses while in a call. Given today's level of customer service, you have to do that a lot...
2. Has only 5 levels of volume, should have more, as another reviewer noted
3. Poor skill level of customer service agents. I had a problem that the phone would prefix a '1' to any of the local numbers that I dialled from the received calls list. It took me a while to figure out that I need to enter my local area codes in the menu provided (I feel foolish when i think back about it). But Siemens customer service (even in Germany) couldn't point that out despite my informing them that i left the local area code fields blank and even set to '000' in trying to resolve the issue.
This phone is truly advanced than the other phones I am aware of in the market. What is surprising, though, that there is no cordless phone as feature rich as even an entry level cellphone. And those cellphones are cheaper than most of these 'high end' cordless phones.
Great phone June 24, 2008
This is an excellent phone. I love the look and feel of it, the screen is very nice and the menus are easy to navigate, similar to a cell phone.
The quality of the speakers on both the handset and the base is great.
I love the option of sending a call straight to the answering machine if I don't want to answer, instead of waiting for the machine to pick up.
The "hold" music is a little odd (a bad electronic rendition of the first movement of Mozart Symphony #40), but it can be easily disabled through the settings menu.
I also love the fact that the phone is actually made in Germany by decently paid EU workers, and not in some factory in China. To me, that fact alone is worth paying a higher price.
I did have a problem with the caller ID not working when I first plugged in the phone. However, I figured out this was a problem with the phone outlet in my kitchen and not the phone itself. I plugged it into a different outlet and now it works perfectly.
Overall this is one of the best phones you can buy. I highly recommend it.
 Terrible Vendor Support June 10, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Received defective product. Called Siemens and they verified defect and asked that I return it to vendor - Antonline. Vendor gave me RMA number and stated that I needed to pay for return (even though it was defective). There response was "You are responsible for return shipping. Just like you would have to take a defective or buyers remorse return item back to the brick and mortar store you purchased it from or send it back to the manufacturer for warranty service". They use the internet to sell product, yet when it comes time to return defective product they play by the rules of what they refer to as a "brick and mortar store". Finally, read over their explanation of why it takes up to 30 days to credit your account. Its so convoluted that it really goes out of its way to insult ones intellegence.
 very good phone, some small issues May 19, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The phone has excellent audio quality, specially the speakerphone, but be aware of the 'mute button' elevator music, make sure to turn this off it the opposite what you expect from 'mute'. The answering machine has 35 min of storage and lets you know how much is left, the audio quality again is miles above the AT&T I had before.
If there is a drawback its the 'Call Waiting' part. Its seems the only time call waiting works as one expects is when you are on an 'internal' call and receive an 'external' one.
The display is bright and easy to read the instructions pretty clear.
It is a very good telephone, I like it! May 14, 2008

It is the best phone I ever had. Very good voice quality, a very long standby and talk time, the menue is very easy like a selphone. For me the best phone ever.
