Sony 900 MHz BabyCall Nursery Monitor with Receivers

This monitor keeps me up at night!
I purchased this monitor because of all the great reviews. I am however, very disappointed. The range alarm is constantly going off. I thought it was because my house has multiple levels, but my inlaws have the same one and the range alarm was going off when the baby was in the next room. The interference with cell phone/blackberry is maddening! Every time the phone rings/you get a message/text the alarm starts beeping. I tried separating the two - cell phone on one nightstand, monitor on the other.... No success. I would not recommend this monitor if you are like me and always have your cell phone next to you.

Proximity alarm won't stop beeping
While there are some superficial flaws with this product (especially that the loop on top of the receivers is actually the antenna, and you can't use it to hang from your belt loops or anything convenient like that), it seems to work very well. We get crystal-clear reception everywhere in the house, even the basement.

Unfortunately, the proximity alarm sounds if we're any farther than about 20 feet from the baby's room. If i'm going to stay that close, i don't need a monitor to hear what's going on in there. What good is a baby monitor that lets me go out of earshot of the baby long enough to be productive if it's constantly beeping at me?

Stopped working after 11 months
I don't know what kind of world we live in where people routinely cite the product as breaking after a period of time and yet somehow rate it at three or four stars. Mine worked great for 11 months or so and then it was toast. In my mind, that's a complete failure. Totally unacceptable.

Not worth the price
This monitor has many of the features that I was looking for. Rechargeable, dual hand sets and many channels. The rechargeable handsets are great! I'm saving so much money on batteries. The dual hand set is fantastic because I don;t have to constantly carry it from bedroom to living room, although the snazzy belt clip works great!

The problem is the reception. It doesn't matter if you have this many channels if it's still fuzzy. It gets fuzzy just from me walking around the room. I'll roll over in bed at night and it gets fuzzy and the range alarm will go off. The A/C comes on it gets fuzzy. It has the same reception as the monitor I used to have. When I upgraded to a version I was expecting better than this. It remind me a lot of when I was a kid and we had rabbit ears on the TV. Mom & Dad would make us stand in weird positions holding them so they could see. My monitor is exactly like that.

In the end I wish I had paid the extra to get the kind that seamlessly changes channels so you never have any interference. All the bells and whistles aren't worth it if I can't hear my baby. That is the whole point after all.

Great monitor
After a lot of research, I chose this one because of the dual receivers and the rechargeable batteries. I love that the monitor and receivers plug in so I don't have to have a ton of batteries on hand.
I keep one receiver down stairs and 1 in my bedroom. The sound quality is crystal clear and I haven't had any interference problems with my iPhone. I can even hear my son breathing most times, which is great for an anxious mom! I don't have a very large house, so I haven't had any problems with the range. I even took it out on the deck in my backyard and it still worked. I have been using this monitor for abour 2 months now and I am very happy with it.
