Siemens Gigaset 2400 2.4 GHz - Cordless Expansion Handset

Pros: Convenience of having a bunch of phones all over the place (and no cords!)
Cons: Interference from some other devices

All joking about industrial design aside, I think the best part of this system is that you can have a phone and a charger anywhere in your house, phone cord or not (and run two lines at that). It looks good, operates well within limits, and has...

Pros: Stylish, Lightweight, Ergonomic, Headset-in, Easy to use, Can have many per house, long battery life
Cons: Expensive, take a while to recharge

My house is huge, we have many rooms and all of them are filled with an overwhelming amount of electronic devices, so more cords were the last thing I thought about when I decided that we needed better cordless phones. We have 2 lines, and at the time...

Pros: expandability, style, light weight, features
Cons: none

I recently bought a 2.4 GHz Siemens so that I could leave my cell phone inside the house while I tend to my daughter outside. I have always been a Sanyo cordless phone buyer and I did investigate other makers of 2.4 gig phones, notably Panasonic, Sony...

Pros: flexibility, design
Cons: fragile, conflicts w/other 2.4gHz devices

(note: although the Siemens 2400 series is widely marketed today, several people, me included, have put their comments under the 3000 series because epinions is lacking a proper category. if epinions staff whishes to create such a category, they may feel...

Pros: Great range of options, No Antennae, Shape
Cons: Hard to use, complicated, Expensive

My father bought the Siemens Gigaset 2420 and two Gigaset 2400's on a whim one day. He came home and said "this is the best cordless system out there, its got 2.4 gigahertz range and you can hook up 8 cordless phones to it without a phone wire!"
...

Pros: light weight great sound and range
Cons: Hard to use at first

This is as good as it gets in a 2 line system for your house
The Siemens 2400 series gives you everything and more from your home
phone system. 2.4 Ghz for long range and no static . Intercom and paging built with a great caller id and digital...

Pros: Nice to look at
Cons: Rotten reliability, awful range, poor reception

Considering the technological prowess of the Siemens Corporation you'd expect some decent communicat ...

Pros: Low price, good features
Cons: poor sound quality, unreliable

I wish I could give the Gigaset 2400 a good review. It's parent, the base unit has a lot of good features and seems to work well. Unfortunately there is a real quality problem with the cordless handsets.

I've had the 2420 system for 6 weeks...

Pros: sleek styling, great features
Cons: poor range, lack of second set of batteries

I purchased a Siemens Gigaset 2410, single line, stand alone model with great expectations. The unit had great promise, great features, but terrible range. I was surprised to say the least. My present 3 year old Panasonic 900mhz phone has a range of...

Pros: this expansion unit can be plugged in anywhere, headset port, addressable
Cons: NI-Cad batteries

first, this is not a cordless phone. This is an expansion to a Siemens 2400 series system. You will need a base station for this thing to work.

It works exactly the same as the cordless handset that came with the system. This is just a...

Pros: Flexibility, 2-line cordless, compact
Cons: Price, button markings, charger connection

This is what I wrote originally.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It's not cheap. But I wanted multiple 2 line phones and the 2400 provided just the set of features I wanted. We have three...

Pros: None
Cons: reception, design

This phone has very poor reception. The sound cuts in and out. We had the phones about 2 months when the problem started, it has gotten progressively worse. We have tried moving the base station and this did not help. We do not live in a city or near...

Pros: Great concept; extensions without jacks and recharges extra set of batteries and many many features
Cons: Terrible durability makes this a big (costly) disappointment

This is a review of the extension phone for the 2400 series of 2.4 Gigahertz Siemens cordless models. It consists of a small, vertical charging unit with a built in recharger for an extra set of batteries and an extra handset.

Like the...

Pros: sound quality, ergonomics, expandibility
Cons: too many bells and whistles

I bought the Siemens Gigaset because I wanted to have a telephone in my living room, but have no phone jack. I also needed a new answering machine at the same time, so the idea of the cordless handsets got my interest.

When comparing the...

Pros: Looks cool
Cons: Poor reception, even line-of-sight. Obscure, complicated menu. Unreliable charger. Expensive.

When our 900MHz Panasonic ran out of juice, we were seduced by the sexy look of the Siemens and the neat idea of having multiple handsets with only one base station. So we bought a base station and three phones.

Wrong move. The reception...
