I was sick of seeing these ads and needed a new phone, so I ordered from Hometec. And what did I get, packed up in the mail, just a few weeks later?
A worthless pile of crap.
It's too damn loud. If you get too many voicemails, the answering machine just bugs out.
And the machine voice on the thing is just damn creepy, it'll talk to you while you do anything. Definitely not as convenient as they'll say it is. Put your money somewhere else.

Criminally Bad
I pride myself on my ability to understand the thought processes of the people who design crappy products. But for this, I truly cannot understand.
The advertising seems to be marketing this towards young people, but the extremely loud "narrator" voice seems to suggest catering more to old people who've become hard-of-hearing.
But I don't even think someone that age could comprehend the out-of-whack nonsense controls on this thing. It's trying to be the future and the past at the same time, and it fails at both. The fact anyone let this get out is a crime in and of itself.
So if you're an old woman who's particularly tech-savvy, sure - buy it.
For us young guys, let's stay out of it.
