Description:

The i5853 from VTech is a 5.8 GHz cordless phone system with a number of handy extras, including caller ID/call waiting compatibility and multi-user expandability to eight handsets (one included). The i5853 utilizes the 5.8 GHz frequency and digital spread spectrum technology to provide clear, accurate reception with less interference than traditional 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz phones. Caller ID/call waiting compatible, the phone displays caller information on both the base and handset LCDs; it has a 50-number caller ID memory. A separate 50-name-and-number phone directory helps you keep track of important contacts.

Handset-to-handset call transfer allows you to route incoming calls to any handset registered to the system, while three-way conferencing lets you communicate with multiple parties at once. An intercom feature provides a way to communicate between handset locations, and a global page/handset function lets you speak with all handsets at once.

You can select among eight ring tones and 12 musical ringers, while the supplied audio patch cord allows you to record custom ring tones. Speakerphones on both the base and handset combine with headset compatibility to provide a number of hands-free communication options. Additional features include flash, redial (last 10 numbers), hold, and mute.

The NiMH battery provides up to eight hours of talk time and up to five days on standby, while a low-battery indicator lets you know when to return a handset to its charging cradle. A new message waiting indicator alerts you to any new voice mail messages (requires subscription to a fee-based service), and handset and speakerphone controls allow you to adjust volume levels. The i5853 also comes backed by a one-year limited warranty.
