Review: after dealing with an old at&t 900 mhz cordless(with a loose battery connection)i thought any other cordless would be a dream. i recently bought this phone based on the functions and appearance but quickly found flaws. the ringer is not loud enough. i have to carry the phone into the next room with me if i want to hear the ring and there doesn't seem to be a way to turn the ringer volume up. also, if my stereo, located right next to the phone, is a little too loud i can hear it coming through on the handset. the sound overall is a bit tinny. perhaps it's only because i was so frustrated with my last cordless that i can rate this a 3. it is easy to set up and operate. the answering machine messages are clear and i can adjust the volume to listen. it's easy to program and operate but the sound quality leaves something to be desired.

Summary: A Piece of Crap
Review: I bought this phone on February 21, 2004. I thought it looked nice and sophisticated and for the price it couldn't be beat. It is now August 3, 2004 and it died. I called the company to see if they could tell me the problem but they told me it died but they will replace it if I send it back with proof of purchase and I will receive a new phone within 7-14 days of them receiving my phone and figuring out what if anything is wrong with it . So, I am now out of phone for about 3 weeks or I could never buy V-tech ever again and purchase a new one. Oh, and the reception once I went to the backyard was crappy. Don't buy it and do your self a favor spend a little more money for quality. I gave this product 1 star because that was the lowest rating I could give it deserves a -1

Review: I got this as a wedding gift July 2003. I have had no problems with it at all. I love the phone. Good battery too. I can keep the hand set off the charger for hours and it will still work. My old cordless could not be off the charger longer than 20 minutes or it would die. I love that the answering machine has 3 mail boxes. Now no one in my family looses their messages. Overall I give it two thumbs up.

Review: I have always liked the VTech phones for the clarity they had in my house. We had an older Panasonic cordless with an answering machine that has always had the shortest battery life, but when it finally got down to about 10 minutes of use, we had to get another one. We brought this one home, plugged it in, and it seemed like everything would be great, until I made a call. I could NOT hear the person on the other end at all, and I had the sound turned all the way up. I switched to another phone in the house and the call was clear. I had had problems hearing them before, so when the phone rang still plugged in, I answered, it was another person, and I could not hear them either. I'm not sure why people said the ringer wasn't so great, I could hear it loud and clear (and shocking because I'd never heard it before). Now we have to take it back and try to find something that will work. We never even got to try out the answering machine.

Review: I have been looking for a decent cordless with answering system for my home office. The handset volume is abysmal, I have to turn everything in the house off and the fan on my notebook is louder than the person I am speaking with on the phone. The Answering system is easy to use, and remote access is a breeze. Too bad I don't have super human hearing, but then, if I could spend the money on that I probably should have bought a more expensive telephone.

Review: I have been looking for a decent cordless with answering system for my home office. The instructions for volume control on the handset aren't very clear, so after messing around with a headset and so on I finally figured it out. The volume on the handset can be adjusted only when the phone is on with the arrow keys. I had the phone for over a week and was ready to return it before I had figured this out. The Answering system is easy to use, and remote access is a breeze.

Summary: The worst vtech to date....
Review: I have no clue what they were thinking with this one, but it's really bad. The base has a ringer that you can turn off if you need to. If you don't, you can't hear the phone ringing. If you have kids, hide this from them up high. If it happens to fall in a couch, you won't hear the ringing or the page to find it. The battery dies very quickly. I've had mine for a few months, and the battery life is dreadful. It's dead in less than an hour off of the charger without talktime. I could replace the battery, but would rather replace the whole phone for all of the flaws instead.
