    A nice phone set

    We like the phone set. I would recommend it to others. It's only drawbacks are screen brightness, and I would like to turn the volume up which I don't think can be done - typical requests of an old geezer. No complaints.

    Love this phone

    I bought this phone a couple months back I have only the one hand set not to but phone is easy to set up Comes with smart call blocker. No more robo calls it will screen your calls and tell the caller this number is being screened and it’s the caller choice to leave their name so the call can go through remember to add your family/friends name to the phone book on the phone or they will be screened to all in all very good phone battery life is very good

    MOM IS PLEASED

    This telephone system was reasonably priced and on sale at the time I purchased. Set up was simple and fully usable within minutes of opening the box. I like that the buttons light up making it easy to find and dial in the dark. I had it for over a month and both phones hold a good charge after being left off the charger overnight. I purchased this item as a Christmas present for my mother, 70+ years old, who is hearing impaired. On the right setting, she can clearly hear the handsets ring and operate the system with ease. She is pleased, so, so am I.

    Best Feature...Call Blocking!!

    We bought this Phone system because it has all the features that we wanted.. Caller ID, Answering System. Call Waiting, Speed Dialing, The # 1 feature is Call Blocking... we are amazed at how few calls we are getting from spam, auto dialing and Sales people .. Now when we get a call that we didn't want.. we press a button,, call blocking,, and enter yes,,, and that number may show up with one ring.. and then wonderful silence.. We had tried another Phone and it was not as easy to use and program as this one..Very Happy

  • I purchased the Vtech DS6251-3.. I have 2 incoming lines through a phone jack. , it only recognizes 1 line and not both.. I have 2 identical phones set up same format that work fine. the latest one will not work for both lines. Any solution?

    Shelly - We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the VTech DS6251-3. Make sure that you are using an RJ14 if your 2 lines are from the same telephone jack. The telephone system comes with 2 telephone line cord, use the black one to install the base to your jack. You may also test the base on the jack where the working phone is installed for isolation. If this does not help, please contact our Consumer Sales and Service Center between the hours of 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM Monday through Friday at 1-800-595-9511. Thank you, -VTech Support

  • We have two lines in our office but one cord. The phone we are replacing rolled the 2nd call over to the second line. When I plug the cord into this phone’s port that says line 1/2 it doesn’t roll 2nd call from our 2nd line over. Can this be done?

    Hi The VTech DS6251-2 is capable of rollover as long as you are subscribed to the service from your telephone service provider. For more details, please contact our Consumer Sales and Service Center between the hours of 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM Monday through Friday at 1-800-595-9511. Thank you, -VTech Support
