Summary: VTECH not worth the money
Review: I purchased the VTECH phone less than a year ago. The sound quality was terrible, and the phone often frezes up not allowing calls in or out. It must be unplugged an reset to work.

Summary: Gotta Like It
Review: I traded in my phone, answering machine and caller ID box for this single phone that does it all. It has decent range, clear message recording, and a speaker phone. I liked the first one I bought so much I bought a second.

Summary: Disappointing Range
Review: I was extremely excited about purchasing the V-Tech 2960ci. I have had very good luck with one of their old phones and liked the option of having an answering machine for both lines.I purchased the phone and connected it up. From one end of my house to the other (about 50 feet), the signal constantly dropped out. The range is severely limited. Going outside was impossible. My other VTech phone (2-line alpha platinum) is wonderful. I can go anywhere in my house or yard without trouble. With that in mind, I exchanged my phone for a new one. The range was still limited to a mere 50 feet. The phone is also difficult to shoulder. The cucumber shape may look cool, but it is not practical. After trying the second phone, I exchanged it for another brand, which is much better.

Summary: Lousy...
Review: I'm returning this phone tomorrow. It is nowhere near on par with the VTech DSS corless I have. I thought at first I had a lemon, so I got another one. Same thing! The problems are numerous: The audio quality of the answering machine (incoming and outgoing messages) is awful. About as good as those digital units of 7 years ago. Garbled. The distance from the base is lousy, it's hard to tell whether you have messages until you get right up to it (very dim display), and the handset audio is lousy. VTech just didn't put the R&D or decent components into this one. It's going back to the store, and I don't recommend it. I've got 1 other VTech and 2 Panasonic cordlesses. This was the worst of the batch by far.

Summary: VTech is horrible choice for a small office
Review: If you're looking for a two-line phone for a small office, forget this one. First, it's impossible to turn the ringer in the handset off when you're on one line, so the 2nd phone line rings annoyingly, even with the base's ringer turned off. Doing simple programming, like resetting the number of rings before the answering machine picks up, require re-reading the user manual.

Summary: I wish I COULD rate this phone
Review: In the last 2 days I have had 3 of these phones, and none of them have worked.(if you want to use 2-lines). It works fine for one line but when you plug in line 2 it disconnected both lines.I could talk on line 1, plug the jack in for line 2 and get a dial tone over my conversation. The customer service department had no idea how to help (really helpful), said maybe i got one from a bad batch but I bought each of the 3 phones at different stores in CO. Maybe the state got a bad batch. After all the hassel of buying, trying and then returning I think I will try a different brand.

Summary: Decent value
Review: Like all VTechs - great price; acceptable function. I've owned this phone for many years. Reading the negative reviews is disappointing. What do people expect from a phone that does everything for less than $100? The sound and other qualities are adequate, not exceptional. Have your ever made a good recording from a small condenser mike? Try getting closer and speaking quietly. Good range. It is sturdy and reliable. The electrical engineer who needs the manual to set the time should change professions. Just *LISTEN* to the menu. I really like the extra battery serving as power backup - very useful where I live.
