These worked OK for a while, then they died. Reset button and repeated attempts to connect failed.Not recommended.
The phone jack works as advertised. It was a bit fickle about making the initial connection. I had to reset the unit and try a second time.
Although there is always some "noise" on the line, sometimes it is so minimal that I can easily make a phone call and carry on a conversation. I used to have a second phone line in an upstairs room that I used primarily for faxing and occasional phone calls. But other times the "noise" is so loud that it is not possible to use the phone to call someone. When I got rid of that line, I bought this wireless phone jack so that I could use my main phone line in the upstairs room without paying the phone company the considerable cost of running new wires.The product does work even though the base station is connected to a phone jack in a room that is not only downstairs, but is also separated by multiple doors and walls from my upstairs room, which is in another part of the house.This unit has enabled me to use my phone/fax machine to send and receive faxes without any problems. Making phone calls is a different story. Bottom line: faxing is always possible, but voice conversations sometimes are not. You need to decide what your priorities are before you buy this.
There is no sense of fulfilling the warranty obligation. The RCA Wireless Phone Jack System works great right up to the point in time when it doesn't work at all. At that point, the lobotimized CSR that answers the phone (800-409-5111) will tell you that all you can do is to restart it - they offer no assistance with helping you to figure out where to send it for repair or replacement. You are left with a non-functioning item with no place to send it for replacement or repair. My unit worked for six months and died (RCA 926 wireless phone jack & base unit).
The jack worked reasonably well as described. I had occasional problems with losing the connectivity on one of my phone outlets. However, I later discovered that this might have been related to a faulty modem that the was connected to the phone line.
