They are pretty good, and you can get lots of features. Sometimes they are
disabled on the the cheap ones, which IMHO stinks. I bought 4 of them
(2 sets of 2 cheaply) after checking out the exact model's English instruction
manual which I downloaded from the UK.
It said that you could register a handset with up to 4 base stations and then
have them automaticaly roam to the strongest one, like a mini cell network.
When I got them, the Hebrew instructions said the same thing, but the function
was disabled in the phones. It's not much of a problem because the one base
station covers all the area I need, and you have to force a handset to
register, so I use the extra base as a dumb charger.
If you have a cell phone and a computer, you can even buy a DECT phone
with Bluetooth, so not only will it share you headsets, but you can download
the phone directory from the cell phone and then upload it to the DECT phone.
