VTech - CS5119-2 DECT 6.0 Expandable Cordless Phone System - Gray/Black

Most likely one of the few people with a house phone. My Uniden died after a good decade of service. Replaced the upstairs phone with a VTech. I knew I wanted another VTech in the house. Great addition to mancave/office. The reliability and the user interface is my top options on why I went with the VTech. You can get other models in red but with the desktop or wall hanging capability. Nice to free up desk with having this on the wall. Very easy to get connected to Spectrum Voice services. The newer 6.0 frequency with the digital technology is just amazing. Calls are crystal clear. I have had this phone for about 45 days and is a great buy in my mind. Two thumbs up

Good battery life sound and clarity. Build quality is OK, the plastic feels kind of like a cheap toy but it is holding up well with my family that can be kind of hard on phones.

I bought a basic model and found I couldn't set it for the answering machine to answer after only 2 rings.. However some of the functions (and I suspect that includes this one) depend on the program used by my landline service. My model does work well with my provider's program in other ways. I especially like the way it allows me to block calls. Most importantly I chose vtech because i was happy with my old vtech that I'd had for years and so decided to stay with the brand. Before buying my old vtech I'd gone through several similar cordless sets put out by other companies but that didn't last more than 2-3 years.

Cost effective, easy to set up, easy to wipe clean, loud enough to hear throughout the whole house & excellent reception.

Love my new VTECH phones cordless easy to talk and convenient for daily house calls.

Amazing phone! I've had many, but the best one! Buy it, you can see for yourself! Great price and works well!

There's nothing real special about this phone, but it's good for basic use. We've gone through a number of them over the years, as it's usually cheaper to just get a new phone rather than buy a new battery for it. One feature it does have is a button on the bottom-left for speaker phone, so you can talk from a little bit of a distance. This model has always been available in three different colors: sliver, red, and blue (we most recently got the red). It's nice that it comes in different colors, because we have two, so we can have two different colors and won't get mixed up about which receiver actually belongs to which base. One thing to note; if your phone provider set up a special kind of phone jack device to to connect the phone to the wall, you may need to use the wall-jack cord that they initially provided, and not the one that came with this phone.

A bit old school but works fine if you still need an analog phone line for some reason. Still works ok but had to replace battery which was about $30
