With just one phone jack, the system supports up to eight extensions throughout your home. |
The answering machine provides up to 25 minutes of recording time, while remote operation lets you check messages even when you are away from home. Speakerphones on both the base and handset combine with headset compatibility to provide hands-free communication options, while the LCD on the handset provides a way to navigate the phone’s many functions.
Caller ID and call waiting compatible, the E5865 has a 50-number caller ID memory, as well as a 50-number internal phone directory to help you keep track of important phone numbers. Personalized ringing options allow you to assign any of the polyphonic musical ring tones to a phone directory entry, letting you know when a specific phone number is calling.
With multi-user expandability to eight handsets, you can add extensions to your system wherever you need them. Intercom and conferencing functions allow you to communicate between handset locations or with multiple parties at once.
The E5865 has an 8.5-by-8.7-inch footprint and is wall-mountable, freeing up countertop space completely. It also comes backed by a one-year warranty.

Customer Review: Two different models and different quality
There are two different versions of this system. One is terrific and one is the worst telephone system I have ever owned. The terrific system is model E5655, purchased from Hammacher Schlemmer, and the dreadful system is model E5965C, which is the model sold here on Amazon.
