My Impression: I received the Amplicom Powertel 785 System with the amplified corded phone, amplified cordless handset, and wrist shaker. Upon receiving the item I was super excited with all of the features that come with this system. Pretty much my entire family is hard of hearing. I was diagnosed with mild hearing loss two years ago and I can't hardly hear certain sounds such as my phone ringing, text alerts, or if I'm outside I can hear traffic, but do not know which way it's coming from even if it's close. Dealing with hearing loss is a pain. So back to the features - This phone system has an amplified sound to both the corded phone and cordless handset which means it's extremely loud in it's ring and with it's button touch. It also speaks the numbers for you which I find to be very helpful. I'm getting one of these for my Grandparents as my Grandmother is deaf and my Grandfather is very hard of hearing as well, but one thing that disappoints me with this system is it is very hard to set up. I'm not the only one who has said this so it takes some time and patience in setting this phone system up. The corded phone you can hook up immediately and start using, but the cordless however is a different story. I followed the instructions to an exact and I was still having issues getting it to connect to the base. If you are having issues though and it says you have connected both phones yet the cordless has no sound there is a simple fix - take out the battery and place it back into the phone and it works just fine. Hopefully a lot of you who have issues with this phone system can do what I've done and will go ahead and get this system to work for you if not Amplicom has a toll free number you can call as well as an email to help you through the process. It was all uphill from then. This phone is an amazing phone - it even has a bit of braille on the corded phone and cordless handset. The phone flashes when it rings and has a super loud sounding ringtone - they also have different ringtones programmed into the phone as well if another would suits you better. I also love the wrist shaker that comes with the device - it's the little wrist band you can wrap around your wrist - I am getting this exact device for my Grandparents because my Grandfather loves to go outside and he works around the house and I worry that he would get overheated or if something were to happen where my Grandmother is deaf she would not know so this wrist shaker is great to place on his wrist so that if he needs help he can press the red button in which will send off a signal to the base and cordless into the speaker system so he can ask for help. I really think this phone is worth the money in my opinion despite having the issue connecting you can contact the company if you have issues and their customer service is really great in my experience and you can absolutely benefit from having this system around as a lifesaver.
