VTech - DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone

Good: Bought this phone b/c the phone i recently had disconnected me from the internet when i used it, now it doesn't since i have this phone. The sleek razor look for the phone was nice. it comes with many good things such as different ringtones and you can also program a ringtone for the base which i thought was kinda cool. It also has a nice bright vibrant screen. The speakerphone was also a good plus, it was real loud and clear. I haven't been able to use the answering machine yet though. Bad: The bad thing about this phone was that it's hard to hear when having a phone conversation b/c i use the phone about 3-4 hours per day and i always hear myself asking the person im talking to to repeat theirselves. The ringer for both the base and the headset was low. And the phone doesn't seem that durable, if someone were to drop it on a hard surface, it would probably crack or even break in half. All in all, it would be a decent buy for someone who doesn't use the phone that much or someone who wants to invest in a newer technology of the phone.

I bought this phone after I looked at many, many different ones. I liked the design and blue backlight of this phone. The phone is very thin and is slightly contoured so that it is comfortable to hold. Many reviewers complained of the volume being too low on this phone, but I think it is perfectly adequate. I can hear just fine on the fourth setting of five total settings. You can pick ringtones for both the handset and the base and can adjust the volume for both ringers as well, which I like. However, the ringers all sound like something that you would hear in an office building. I bought this phone knowing about the complaints in customer reviews regarding the phone's battery life. Based on what I have read in customer reviews and the product manual for the phone, I think this is a phone that you should put back on the charger sometimes. So, if you are someone who doesn't like to put the phone back on the charger until it is dead, you might not like this phone. For my purposes, I am quite happy with my purchase and was quite pleased that I was able to get it on sale from Best Buy.

Well, i read the other reviews and was excited about getting this phone. I first ordered one from bestbuy.com and one of the main buttons didn't work from day 1. After 2 days, i exchanged it for the same model at a Best Buy store. Now, all the buttons work, but it has a lot of static, which is very irritating. I avoided giving it a 1 because of the great look of the phone. It is very stylish and lightweight, and i'm not sure if the static is just because i received a bad piece or all phones of this model are like this. Overall, very disappointed so far. Trying to decide what to do...

This phone has a very nice design and the menu is simple to use, very light and it looks just like a long cell phone. The problem is the battery dies too quick, you get other phone calls from around the area mixed in your own conversation & to make it worst it makes a horrible static noise that everyone hears but you. I'm looking to bring it back into the store and exchange it for something else not sure which one yet.

I never expected to get a VTech phone. I have always bought Panasonic or Sony in the past. However, when I saw this phone at the store, I noticed it looked far more modern and stylish than any of the other models of any brand. I checked it over further to see it was DECT 6.0, had a simple-yet-attractive button layout on the base and handset, and was only $60! Sure, it doesn't have a multi-color display, wallpaper, or talking caller ID, but it was the perfect choice for me. I love how great it looks and feels in my hand and the crystal clear sound quality and easy-to-read display. Also, some great little features are the "in use" and "voicemail" lights on the base unit. When someone is on any phone in the house, the "in use" light illuminates and it also appears on the handset. Whenever you receive a new voicemail, like I do with my digital telephone service, it lights up the VM light on the base and has a message on the handset. Also, this might be silly, but if you like to customize your "toys", it does let you name the phone (which appears at the top of the handset). The only negative thing I could say about this impressive product would be the fact that the menu, talk, and off/clear buttons don't light up with the rest of the keypad via the blue backlight. They ARE angled in such a way though that it is still pretty easy to find them in the dark as long as you know their layout. I HIGHLY recommend this phone. You won't regret your purchase!

Bought this phone because of it's sleek design and general quality of vtech devices, and boy am I sorry! Sound quality using the handset is barely passable, speakerphone is worse. Battery life is REALLY bad...If I'm on the phone for 15 minutes it drains the battery. Dialing is a hassle because the 'touchpad' style keys are unresponsive and offer no tactile feedback. Also the DTMF tones are very short, so entering passcodes or using phone menus ("press 1 to reach joe, 2 to reach jane) is a problem. I'm going to try either the AT&T or Panasonic DECT phone instead...

I bought this phone because the phone I had was a 2.4 mhz and a wireless internet connection in another apartment interfered with its operation. I liked the looks of this phone because it is stylish and slick looking, but I was somewhat disappointed in the limited array of ringtones it provided. The tones are all very electronic sounding, rather than providing the nice variety found in other models. Also, the remote access to messages is a somewhat cumbersome process compared to other phones I have used. The phone is functional and certainly has been reliable, with easy installation and a rather utilitarian keypad access for setting up the various settings and functions. It seems like a bit more effort was put into the visual design than was put into the back end operation. It does look good sitting on a desk or table.

this phone is sleek design,easy set up and its lightweight.i'm into v-tech phone and this phone is the coolest one i'd everseen.
