I had one on one of the phones that was a cordless phone. But, that phone stopped working. So, now I don't have a speaker phone anymore. I have two cordless phones. And I have one phone that has a cord on it. It is an regular phone that you sit inside of the phone cradle. Do you like using your speaker phone? I like to use it, because, when I am being placed too long on hold, this helps me from holding the phone too long.. My hands are not as tired. I am glad to have this feature on any phone in my home. What about you?

I have a speaker phone at work. I don't have one at home yet. It is nice for when someone puts you on hold you don't have to sit there holding the phone while you are waiting for them to come back, you just put on the speaker phone, and when they come back you can hear them. It is nice to be able to talk to someone and still have your hands free. It is also nice when someone needs to speak to more than just me at my office we just put them on the speaker phone and we can all talk.

Yeah I think my phone has a speaker on it, but I don't ever use it, honestly I don't know how to use it...lol. I have on my cell phone too, once in awhile I accidently push it on when I answer the phone, and then I don't know how to turn it off.

I don't have a home phone, just a cellphone. Most of my calls are long distance so it's cheaper for me this way. I do have speakerphone on my cell and I do use it if I have my hands full or if I'm driving.

I do have a speaker phone.But I seldom use it.Mostly I use my cell phone to the barest minimum.If anyone is funny and goes on bragging on the phone I used to switch on the speaker phone and let my wife have the fun.

Yes i too have a speaker phone on my telephone.I too do not use the feature much.I too used the speaker phone when my phone customer service kept me on hold for half an hour.I could not cut the line because it would be difficult to connect to the line again.

i use my speaker phone on my cell phone all the time because it feels like it gets too hot touching my face when im on it a lot and i get sick of holding up to my head for an hour.. i dont really like speaker phones on landlines because it seems like the other person can never hear me on those

I don't have a speaker phone here at home. My cellphones does have this feature though but I don't use it that often. I think I want to get a speaker phone this christmas for myself because it is very useful especially when making calls to your credit card company which takes forever to reach. Cordless phones are also handy , some have nice battery life that isn't annoying to replace all the time and always have to charge it.

We have one at home but it is not loud enough to be called as a loud speaker. We could only hear the rings but whenever the person we are trying to call answers our call, we would have to lift the handset and use it traditionally. I don't know why it is like that.

my cell phone has that feature, but i try not to use it too often ever since that day when i mistakenly thought the speaker phone was turned off and i held the cell phone to my ear. just recalling that makes me cringe.

Hi cream! I do like my phone with the speaker phone. I use it for the same reason. When I am placed on hold for a long period of time sometimes I will also hit the speaker so that I can do something else while I'm waiting, especially if I am trying to get ready to go out. The only thing that I find wrong with this feature is once you put it on the speaker you can't take it off. For some reason they don't make the feature with an on and off button. So once it is on speaker the only way to take it off the speaker is to hand up. And sometimes when you are talking to a person with the speaker on they can't hear you as clearly. That is the only part of the feature that I don't like.

No. I like speaker phones though. When I want to use the speaker phone I use my cell. But I can't stand it when people put me on speaker phone and don't let me know. It's embarrassing.

Yes, I do have a speaker phone on both of my cordless phones in the house. I do not use it much because I do not like the fact that I have to almost holler for someone to hear me.

I have a speaker phone on my telephone. It seems that all the telephones nowadays have this function, but I seldom use it, because i feel it's too loud to have the speaker on. Only when i'm too busy and have something else to do, i will have it on.
