I purchased this phone the last time it was offered.

It arrived today and I have mixed feelings towards this purchase.

The main base station seems to work fine.

The expansion set on the other hand came with dead rechargeable batteries, After trying to charge them for 3 hours they are still not showing any signs of life.

The A/C adapter charging base for the expansion set is non-functional, placing the working batteries in the expansion headset and placing it on the expansion base will not charge. The charging base is pretty simple so I suspect the issue is with the A/C adapter.

I've opened a ticket about this and I hope thingfling does the right thing and makes good on these defective parts.

I'll keep everyone updated on this issue.
