Summary: This product has ups and downs
Review: I was very excited at buying the feature-rich phone because it had everything I could want. I like the adaptability, the caller ID function, the keypad on the base unit, the speaker phone in both the base unit and on the phone. It shows me when I have voicemail, has a great belt clip, a long battery life, etc.

One big "but" here, though, is that it doesn't have the clarity I want if I am any distance from the base unit. This is quite disappointing since I "upgraded" from a Panasonic 900 mhz phone which I could take across the street into the neighbors house and have clear reception.

If I am outside, and my body comes between the phone and the base unit, I get interference. If there are too many walls between me and the base unit, I get interference. So it makes me house-bound while I am on the phone. It is important to me to be able to garden and do other work outside while on the phone.

Other than that, it is great. But I will probably give it to my husband (who wouldn't dream of working outside).

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Three months in and two extensions dead. Get the Siemens
Review: Previously reviewed as: Easy expandability + affordable pricing = adequate solution

New take: Half of effort wasted. Siemens a much better product. Do not buy this phone. Two unexplainable dead extensions, other two still quite lively. Sadly, that doesn't make for a good product.

Previous review:
Best features: good reception, very easy to add extra phones, phones stand up on their own [flat bottomed], hands free/speaker phone, caller ID, small base, sleek lines, redial gives options of adding 1 for long distance, headset compatible, belt clip.

Worst features: adequate [but not exceptional] battery life, unclear whether volume control is adjusting speaker volume or ringer volume, no locking feature [to keep out children], programmable phone book is for specific handset and not chain of four associated phones.

Overall - a good solution that results in fewer phone cables. I bet the Siemens product is better, but probably not better enough to justify the price for most consumers.

New conclusion: Get the Siemens. Not a glitch there. V-tech bad, Siemens good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Phone!
Review: Very small and sleek. I have never had any problems with this phone. Vtech is great for the price!
