The SPPA2780 from Sony is a two-in-one phone with a fully digital answering system and an extra cordless handset with a charging cradle. The SPPA2780 utilizes the 2.4 GHz digital spread spectrum signal, providing clearer reception than traditional 900 MHz phones. Caller ID and call waiting compatible, the SPPA2780 stores up to 70 numbers in its caller ID memory and up to 100 numbers in its jog dial memory. The all-digital answering machine offers up to 20 minutes of recording time and is accessible from both the base and the extra handset. Users can add up to three handsets (for a total of four cordless plus the corded base handset) to this system, each of which can then be used in walkie-talkie mode to communicate with the others.
The SPPA2780 comes with a speakerphone, although conferencing is not provided, meaning that when one phone is in use, the others are disabled. The NiCad battery for the cordless handset provides up to five hours of talk time and up to six days on standby, while a low battery indicator lets you know when to return the handset to its cradle for charging.
The SPPA 2780 is headset compatible and comes with a belt clip to provide hands-free operation. The base has a 7.01-by-8.27-inch footprint and can be wall mounted, freeing up desktop or counter space completely. A visual voicemail indicator alerts you to messages in your mailbox, while a page/handset locator provides a quick and easy way to locate a lost handset. The SPPA2780 also comes backed with a one-year limited warranty on both parts and labor.
