Great phones.
Our last phones were VTech and lasted through 8 years of being tossed around and being dropped. For this very reason we went VTech again. These new phones are better than our last. The best feature is the Bluetooth connectivity for 2 cell phones. We are in a low signal area so if we want to talk on our phones they have to be in just the right spot. With this set we never have to pick up the cell phone and lose the signal. It does take some getting used to to know what phone the call is coming from as it just says cell no matter which cell phone and though it gives you the number calling it doesn't give your preprogrammed name. Overall the sound quality is great, the display is easy to read on the base and the actual phone, and adjusting the settings is easy as well.

No complaints, maybe even exceeds expectations!
We decided to ditch our home phone service and go strictly with cell phones. We added another cell phone line for the kids to use occasionally, but also to use as our "home phone". We bought this V-Tech phone system so that we could still have phones in different rooms of the house, but they would still be tied via bluetooth to the cell phone. I was a bit skeptical but have found that the sound quality is great and the bluetooth connection is perfect. One of the kids took the cell phone to a school function the other day, but as soon as the phone was back in the house it automatically paired back up w/ the V-Tech phones. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Good Deal
The phone set is a good value for the price paid. The phones have a lot of features that are easy to use. The sound quality is ok, but it could be a little better. All in all we are happy with the phones.
