Nobody in this market segment gets it right..........2006-07-22
I bought this to replace my aging Siemen's 2420 home/office system. It supports chain-dialing (unlike some multiline ATT models like the 2.4Ghz speakerphone base - which is now handling my "home" lines)... I had read some bad reviews of the Siemens 8800 series 5.8Ghz effort - so I tried this RCA model. Mistake on my part...
Don't bother with the 'Remote Handset" add-on - it has massive interference problems from local RF sources (home office with lights, wireless headset, wireless LAN, cellular phone - the usual stuff everything should be immune to;).
The speakerphone base is OK for listening, but not for talking. I use a Plantronics 900Mhz headset for all talking - not the handset or the speakerphone mic. Unfortunately, the speakerphone handset will NOT work with a plantronics HL10 handset lifter - I used a dremel moto-tool to fix the design and now it can lift the handset. Don't try this yourself as it voids the warranty and is functional yet not cosmetically pleasing;)
Overall this phone is simply not up to home office duty - despite having 4 lines and a somewhat decent speakerphone.
RCA should learn from Siemens and do a complete multiline speakerphone system with excellent base, intuitive functions to support business users (per-line and per-handset configuration of access, and many other features that Siemens implemented in the 2420 and 8800 series). It should support 8-16 wireless handsets, optional repeaters/range extenders, and remote speakerphones on the wireless side - as it stands it is mostly useless and will likely end up in the garbage as soon as I can find a business-friendly SOHO offering...
My Siemens 2420 lasted almost 8 years and I went thru 4 speakerphone bases, and 12 or more handsets - used it for 2 office locations (home and RV) with great results - too bad nobody else has touched this market with an effective product. Perhaps it's time to revisit the 8800;)
Nearly DOA.......2006-03-29
I have two of model 25404RE3. Needed a 3rd for home office use. Ordered this 'new' model by mistake. The two 25404RE3 phones work fine, but the new 25414RE3 doesn't. First, the phone recognizes only line one when a two line cord is plugged into the first jack. To get it to work for my two lines, I have to plug it into the second jack and use line 3 and 4. Second, it doesn't intercom at all with the 254o4RE3 models. This needs to go back!
Also, FWIW I like the aesthtics of the older model better; sleeker looking buttons and less use of dark colors.
Product Description
Designed for the SOHO (Small Office / Home Office) market, this phone is perfectly suited for large homes where more than 2 phone lines are used. It integrates a 4-line telephone with a corded handset, speakerphone, and an answer machine into one desktop console that can be used all by itself. Yet the spectacular thing about it is that you can add up to 16 optional cordless phone extension stations (RCA H5400RE3) that can access most features and intercom from one to another. It's a great and affordable way to set up a vital communication system at your home or office. Voice Time / Day Stamp each incoming message was received Expandable Up To 16 Stations (extensions) if you choose to add optional cordless handsets (H5400RE3) Speakerphone 3-Way Conferencing IrDA Port For Synchronization With Palm-Enabled Devices Data Port for assigning a line to a computer modem or fax Line In-Use Indicators Intercom Between Phone Stations / Page all 16 Station Speed Dial Phone Memories Large 4-Line Multifunction LCD Display Adjustable Volume Control Adjustable Ringer Control Handset has port for adding an optional headset Color - Black

Confirmation of Inferiority.......2007-06-16
Thanks to all you on this page. I have checked a number of other sites as well and found that this phone is universally panned. Poor base/cordless interaction, radio and other interference, poor durability. I bought 8 of these and have not opened one. I am going to save myself a lot of time and headache and return them on Monday. Thanks again for your helpful insight.
I should have believed other reviewers.......2007-01-21
But noooo, I went ahead and bought one of these for my home office. My biggest complaint is that if you're talking on line 1, and another call comes in on line 2, the answering machine does not answer it! It lets it just ring and ring. Unacceptable.
DO NOT BUY DOES NOT WORK.......2006-07-05
I was in charge of finding a phone system for our small office and settled on the RCA. We were unable to hear or be heard. This system was returned and a big waist of time. I do not know how this system could be acceptable to any user.
What a piece of trash.......2006-06-13
As usual, GE hides the fact that they are the real manufacturers. Wonder why that is... I bought this phone just over 3 months ago, and now it just quit working. The only thing that works, is the receiver... and I could haqve bought an $8 phone from the Dollar Store to do that.
Now that I know, GE AND RCA is off my list.
Not Worth the Cost.......2006-03-09
Purchased RCA Models #25415RE3 & #25414RE3 to use in a small office situation. These were replacements for the Panasonic KX-TG4000B system, which was barely out of warranty when a major malfunction occurred (that's another story). Bought the RCA phone system simply for the reason that we were in dire need of a replacement phone system and it advertised the features we needed. First problem encountered was that the User's Manual is in a CD format, and you must print out the PDF file to really use the manual. The manual leaves a lot to be desired in the ease of use area. The phones don't integrate nearly as easily as RCA would have you believe. The biggest problem we encountered, within 4 days of receiving the phones, is an RCA-acknowledged difficulty with how the 25415RE3 model in particular handles power outages. On the 4th day the phone system was in operation, we experienced a 3-hour power outage, which is not really uncommon in our area. It had taken me 3 days to fully program all the features of the phones as I wanted them, including manually entering 98 names and numbers in the directory. New batteries had been installed in the phone as instructed, and the phone functioned well enough during the power outage to continue business operations. However, as soon as the electric power was restored, the 25415RE phone started flashing an intermittent "Message Waiting Line 4" message on both the base set and the cordless unit, even though there were no messages in the mailbox, and despite the fact that the answering machine was programmed to not take messages on that line. Additionally, the base unit keeps flashing "Install New Batteries" even with the replacement of the batteries. The RCA website has absolutely no help information, despite attempts to search their FAQ section. I called the 800 help line, and after over 45 minutes on hold, was informed by the rep that this is a frequent problem with the phone. She did have a fix for the problem - which entailed totally unplugging the phone lines and AC adaptor, removing the batteries, and waiting 30 minutes. Then - wonders of wonders - the annoying "Message Waiting" will be gone - along with ALL of your programming and all 98 directory names and numbers. Sounded like a great fix to me. Additionally, we're currently experiencing a lot of problems with the sound quality, especially on the cordless handsets. All in all, not the quality I would expect for the price. Have no suggestions for someone in the market for something similar, other than to stay away from Panasonic and apparently RCA brands
