Summary: not bad, I've had worse
Review: I really like all the features this phone has to offer. My favorite one is that you can put a spare battery in the base unit and it will charge it. The best thing about this is that if your power goes out, it will use that battery as a power source and you can still use your cordless phone. I'm still looking for another phone that does this.

The problems: 1)The screen starts going out one line at a time. A friend of mine has one that did the exact same thing.
2)The antenna bends very easily. I thing mine came loose inside the phone because now sometimes it shuts down to channel search. Especially when someone is trying to call and you can't answer because the phone won't work at all. (This is probably my own fault for letting my one year old get a hold of it.)

If Vtech could fix these problems, I'd buy another phone from them. I've had this one for over 3 years and have never had to replace the battery.

Summary: Keypad is a problem
Review: My V-Tech phone has some good points: great range, excellent clarity, great call waiting (picks up every call quickly), convenient features. However, 3 months after purchase, certain buttons on the keypad would not work. It was hardly the same button twice, and the problem is intermittant, but annoying and inconvenient nonetheless. My friend also has the same phone -- her first, the same keypad problems. Her 2nd V-Tech's keypad was fine, but the call waiting would not register calls consistently. Despite the price and clarity, I would not purchase a V-Tech phone again.

Summary: I would NOT recommend purchasing this phone.
Review: The best thing I can say about the VT-1970ci is that it has pretty blue buttons.

I have been using the phone three months now, and have been very disappointed with the signal quality. When I use it, there are always lots of pops, hisses, clicks, and fading in and out. The phone also has a bad habit of ringing once, then dropping the caller. I replaced a seven year old Sony cordless that was a much better phone than this one, in every respect.

I love Amazon.com though, and I am putting in an order for a new Sony cordless today. This is the first product review I have done, and hope it helps others avoid the mistake of purchasing this VTech phone.

Summary: Good, but flawed
Review: The handset is nice. It is easy to read and the buttons work fine. The sound is acceptable. The major flaw with the phone is that it tends to cut your caller in and out. Very disconcerting. Worse, the message we recorded for the answering machine does the same thing. If you don't mind intermittently missing part of the conversation, this is a good value.

Summary: Keypad is a problem
Review: The VTECH cordless phone is easy to use. The instruction booklet shows you step by step how to program your phone. There are numerous features available on the phone for home and business use. The calls come in clear without any static or interference. I like this phone and feel it as an asset to those who are starting an at home business for themselves such as myself because of the various features this phone has.

Summary: Great Phone!!!!
Review: This is a wonderful phone!! My firend across the street has it, and we use it all the time to call people. I love how you can see who is calling, instead of running to the kitchen everytime you hear the phone ring. Everyone should buy it!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not Cool V-Tech
Review: This phone constantly cuts out on me, even when I'm within 2 feet of the base. I have a friend with the same phone and it works fine, but somehow mine is bunk. Also the caller ID display is too big and bulky. If you're going to buy one pray it's not [like] the one I'm returning.
