The Worldphone is phenimenal. I have not used it in two years due to me wearing out the headset. I have regular, extra-life and vibrating battery packs but would love to track down a handset. If anyone knows where I would be able to get one please let me know. You may respond to mecobb21@yahoo.com or in the USA at 703.981-1906.

Thanks for reading.

The phone is good and still going strong in 2007. I've have just purchased a new battery but am having trouble locating an instruction manual so if you've got a manual hanging about gathering dust, please email me. Shame Bosch still do not make mobile phones like they used to.

Dear Sir, Ma'am
I have a Bosch World Phone #718. I have had this phone for over six years now and I need another battery. The battery that I do have, no longer holds a charge. I have looked all over to have it replaced but no luck because this modal phone has been discontinued. The battery that I'm looking for is a 650 mAh Li-con battery. I would very much appreciate your assistance. The phone works excellent and I have had it for over six years and I donot want to replace it just because of the battery. I'm currently stationed here in Kuwait with the U.S Army. Thanks in advance for your understanding and assistance.

Hello. The phone is great. I bought mine in 1999, and now it's starting to age. Problems with the microphone only, battery is still doing well?? Maybe.
I need a new one, and would like to order on-line.

Thanks,

L Beauchamp

It is the best set so far that can let me roam the world in a more simpler way. I love the 718. It is my dream set

I've had the phone for three years and it
is becoming a little dated. It has always functioned well, both within the US and overseas. The only complaint that I have is the network coverage within the US. Roaming outside the New Jersey metro area is a problem, and my house is in a coverage deadspot, so I get only very sporatic use when home. I do both voice and e-mail when traveling, and it works as advertised.

Beautifully engineered, excellent build quality, fabulous user interface, good sound and excellent reception. Unfortunately it's showing its age -- it's really big and heavy compared to newer phones.
