VTech 9151 900MHz Black Cordless Phone

Summary: Don't buy this garbage
Review: I got one a few days ago, attracted by its cool color. What it turns out is junk covered by this color. There's always noise in handset, no matter where it is from the base, no matter what time at the day. I even tried my phone jack, thinking maybe the problem is the line. IT'S NOT, IT'S THE PHONE.

Summary: Never worked right
Review: I got this phone when I went away to college. It's fine for a first answering machine and cordless phone on a budget. But every once in a while it would start beeping very loudly and uncontrollably in the middle of the night! I would have to pull the battery out of the handset to get it to stop. The outgoing message is very fuzzy and sometimes the handset wouldn't even turn on. If you are looking for quality, look somewhere else.

Summary: Impossible to hear anything!
Review: I had this phone in my dorm room and it was absolutely horrible! I'm sure some of it was due to every other room having a cordless phone and all the signals intermingling, but this phone was by far the worst cordless phone I have ever used. Even in the silence of the early morning hours (you know how college students are with sleep schedules) there was still staticy shhhuhhhh noises in the phone, making it really hard to have any sort of intelligible conversation. I wish there was a 0 star rating because I would give it that!

Review: I liked a friend of mine's VTECH 900 mhz phone years ago, so I bought one (the 9060i). Problem is: static and chatter sometimes, even when fully charged; even when I push the "channel" button. I live in a dense neighborhood, so maybe that's the problem. Maybe it will work for you if you live on a farm (unless your livestock have cells, so to speak)... You could buy a better phone for less.

Summary: Great Phone, No Problems
Review: I live in a suburban apartment complex, and for me, this phone is phone-omenal. Clear as a bell, can walk to the mailbox with it (500 feet), lasts for 2+ days under light use condition between charges. Answering machine is very functional, I very much enjoy this phone.

Summary: This phone is typical of modern electronics
Review: I would not recommend this product to anyone who doesn't want to have to buy another phone within 18 months. Less than 4 months after the warranty ran out on my phone, it died and has been unrevivable for the past three weeks.

Please note that I have followed all of the recommendations of the VTech website and telephone support lines. The only thing that I have yet to do is actually request a repair. No doubt repairing this phone will be more arduous and just as expensive as buying a new phone.

Summary: Static from vtech, not from Amazon.
Review: Phone looks good and has all the additions I was looking for.However,as with other VTech phones I have bought (several years agoand never again, I thought they would have fixed their phones by now!), it sounded like I was next to a fully running faucet (static). On the bright side, Amazon.com went above and beyond what you expect from a "dot com" vendor. I'll be back, just not for VTech.
