    I use an RCA "commercial" 2-Line Dect 6 and it "sounds like" half-duplex. There aren't that many 2-Line cordless phones out there (especially Dect 6) to choose from.

    Also, this is the only one I have found that has a bright blue message waiting indicator that sits on top of a tiny lighthouse on top of the phone. Most other phones I have seen have easy to miss MWI indicators that require you to actually look at the LCD screen on the handset to check for messages. This MWI lights up the room and you can't miss a waiting message.

    Do note VOIPo does do ring splash. At least I requested it and have it.

    What is a ring splash? How does it pertain to voicemail notification?

    When you have a voice mail, you get a short ring as a reminder.

    FWIW, my wife complained the other day too
    my wish list:
    1. Intelligent Call Forwarding that detects the incoming call originated from the "forwarded" phone and rings the original destination instead
    2. Call History that makes use of CallerID/Custom CallerID+Location. Call History only shows Custom CallerId+Loc. No CNAM look up; Albeitly,it's a step in the right direction!
    3. Scheduled sim. ring with a twist (see wish #1)
