We’ve had these phones for a couple months, and so far they have been great and very useful.
We can take them into the basemnent, with the base on the first floor, and we get clear reception.
We’re very pleased that we purchased them.

THIS IS A GOOD PHONE FOR THE DIFFICULT HEARING PERSON. THE VOLUME CONTROL ALLOWS THE USER TO HEAR ON THE PHONE WHO HAS MINOR HEARING PROBLEMS.

Great sound quality and good range. I’ve got the base station in the living room on the first floor and the extra handset up in the bedroom. Both sound great. Very handy for the bedroom since there is no phone jack up there. I easily programmed a bunch of speed dials – quite intuitive. Handset is not much larger than a cell phone.
The only shortcoming I can see is the lack of a hands-free jack. I don’t need this feature, but I know a lot of multitasking people do.

I picked up this phone at Best Buy a few months ago.
I’ve always had good luck with Panasonic’s and Uniden’s phones, but this was my first Vtech model.
I bought this phone (to replace my Uniden DECT 6.0 phone that died…excellent phone) because the price was right at $30 even and didn’t feel like spending $80 for the Panasonics.
Now I wished I had! Despite being 5.8 GHz, there is a lot of static and interference from electronic and wireless devices (cell phones, and wireless LAN’s). Plus, you cannot travel any more than about 15 ft. from the base without getting static and interference.
That’s the biggest gripe. Other issues are the size; After having the Uniden phone this thing is huge! It’s like a brick, and feels cheap in my hand. Although it’s got a back-lit keypad, 4-line caller ID and LCD information screen, and 2-line capability, those are the only strong points. It’s got no speakerphone, talking caller ID, and limited ringer alerts. there is an indicator to remind you when there’s a new voice mail (provided you’ve got a voice mail service through the phone company). There’s no answering machine.
Other users might not have a problem with that, so this is understandable.
Bottom line: if you are looking for a cheap cordless, 5.8 GHz phone, I’d look elsewhere. Vtech makes other, superior models, and Panasonic or Uniden make excellent phones. it’s worth the extra money to get a good quality model.
However, the call clarity and quality is horrible. I could go out into my back yard with the DECT phone, but not this one.

I had another product for several years which was not always clear. This product has clarity and versatility that makes it a great dollar value. I am very satisfied with these phones and the fact that you only have to plug the second one in to any outlet makes it even more versatile….
