Piece of crap- Doesn't work

I received one of these beamers for Christmas so that my parents and brother could see my new baby anytime they wanted. It didn't work. But because my parents and brother both had one, I bought another. It doesn't work either. Steer clear from this company and their lousy products!!!!!

Ordered 2, 1 dead on arrival

Ruined Christmas. Bought two for wife so she and her mother could talk (and see) coast-to-coast. Had both units sent to us so wife could see how it works before shipping one to my mother-in-law. Hooked one up, it powered on and I excitedly went to neighbors to hook up second and try it out. Hooked up, plugged in, NOTHING. Tried other wall plugs but still NOTHING. Unit defective, returning to Amazon, we'll see how return process goes (only did one return before, wasn't the easiest). Wife and mother-in-law were very excited, now very disappointed. They will have to wait (weeks?), that's assuming we get a replacement and that one works. Otherwise will have to settle for refund (better be full refund if they go that route) then try to find one (thought I was in good shape and ahead of Xmas rush by buying on Dec. 5).

BAD!!!!!!!!!!!

This video phone is the biggest garbage in the world. I bought one it is a waste of money. Video quality is horrible and cheap!! U will not be happy with this. I also have a motorola OJO video phone. That is much better than this. If your gonna get a video phone get the OJO. The price is higher but the video quality is superb!!

Works great for technically challenged relatives

We bought 2 Beamers to use with my elderly in-laws. They were able to work it, the image is okay, and they enjoy seeing our kids. We also have webcams for our computer enabled family, and they work much better and there is no phone charges, but this would not work with my in-laws. The videophone is obviously a little choppy, but if you make sure to have a well lit room it shows a nice picture. My 2 year old son goes up to it and says "Pop-Pop, Pop-Pop" when he wants to see his grandfather. Even though they live 3000 miles away, it feels like you are much closer
