Great phone
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like this phone. Good quality construction, in other words it doesn't feel cheap. So, I feel like its worth the extra money. The main base is well made and so far seems easy to learn the ends and outs of programming it. No complicated installation either, just plug it in and go, well make sure you charge it first. Very clear reception no matter what part of the house you're in. And I really like the speaker phone sound. Really clear. Best phone for the money In my opinion.

Reasonable and affordable
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased phone/answering machine for my parents (who still have landline). They had an older model with two cordless handsets, but the handsets were constantly on low battery and would not hold a charge. The price of two batteries were not that cheap, so I decided to get them a new phone instead. This VTech has a handset attached to the main/answering machine with a separate cordless handset. This will prevent them having to worry about the battery, plus the main base has a speaker function for convenience. The only downside is that the cordless handset does not have a button to directly hear message from answering machine, which the old phone had, and my parents have to go to the menu button and go to a few steps to get to the messages. Also, the number of messages on the display is not as clear as we would like.

It Rings!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a really great phone! When someone calls, it rings. When I want to make a call, I get a dial tone. What I like best is it can not be used to take photos, text play games, or surf the web. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to make a phone call.

Q: QuestionDoes this phone "announce" the caller?
Asked by Gmom.
- A:Answer Mine doesn't
Answered by Supremedeluxe
Q: Questionif the electricity goes out will the phone still works?
Asked by sarea.
- A:Answer If you lose power, only the base will work... the wireless phone will not. The base is the wired part of this system and the land line supplies enough power to make a phone call like in the old days. Hope this answers your question.

Q: QuestionWhat is "quiet mode", and how does it work? Can it control the volume of the ringer? Can the ringer be turned off entirely?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Quiet Mode allows you to silence all sounds from the phone from 1 to 12 hours. The base and handset ringers can be raised, lowered, and turned off completely.

Q: QuestionI purchased an extension phone (CS6909) for father-in-law's base (CS6949, corded) but cannot figure out how to register it together. The instructions do not mention the CS6949 base. I have seen the extension display "Registering" but it fails.
Asked by MikeK.
- A:Answer Someone told me to look in to FAQ section, and I found "Press and Hold FIND HANDSET on the base for about four seconds until the IN USE light turns on and it shows REGISTERING, then on the handset, press the QUIET #, and then it will show REGISTERING. The CS6909 extension does work with the CS6949 base.
Answered by MikeK
Q: QuestionWould this machine allow me to screen incoming calls? Can I hear the caller's message as s/he is leaving it?
Asked by NeedNewPhone.
- A:Answer Yes, you can listen on the base unit speaker as someone records a message, BUT you probably have to be standing right next to the base unit to screen calls, because the volume on the speaker isn't very loud even when turned all the way up.

Q: Questiondoes the ringer have a way to mute for an extended period of time?
Asked by coe.
- A:Answer Hi - The The handset and speakerphone ringer volume settings are independent on the VTech CS6949. You can turn off the ringer volume on both the cordless handset and the telephone base. Thank you, -VTech Support
