VTech - DECT 6.0 Expandable Cordless Phone System with Digital Answering System

Great for a home office. Now I have a phone in every room with it's own distinctive ring. They have good clarity, are easy to use, and don't interfere with the rest of my wireless environment like the 5.8 verson did. I only wish they had a belt clip and a wider base so they could stand on their own.

Having an intercom between all four handsets is a great convenience. My elderly parents can now answer the phone and transfer it to the intended person without going up/down the stairs. Two weeks ago my father ruptured his quadricep tendon and will be bedridden for months. This new phone allows him to be able to communicate with anyone in the house without leaving his bed or shouting. All he has to do is pick up the phone press the transfer button then the handset number he wants to reach and he's able to talk to anyone in the house. We have the base station& handset in the kitchen down stairs and a handset in each bedroom. When the phone rings you can look at the display on the handset and tell whether it’s an incoming call or just an intercom call from another handset. Also the different types of ring tones available are pleasant with the ability to set the volume for each handset. I was so impressed with this VTech phone/answering machine/intercom that I had to write a review.

Have had for a little over a month. Is great easy to set up. Only thing that I have a problem with but not a big issue is you cannot see from a distance if you have any messages from an angle you cannot see the number. I love that each handset is numbered. To make easy for the family I put a number on the bottom of each to correspond with the handset so I know who is not putting the phone back on their set.

Since I previously owned V-tech phones, I was familiar with their system and how easily their options were selected. These phones had many more options, and updated features like programming contacts on one phone and it rolling over to all four. I also like the ability to wall mount one of them without an additional purchase of mounting equipment like another product. A good system, easy to figure out without reading instructions, and a good value for the price!

It was on sale and it was simple for the person who wanted it. I personally would not buy it nor need it but it works and there has been no problems for months.

I just got the phone on 6/10/11. It took me 10min to hock it all up. Also it was very easy to set up the answering machine and put my voice on it. The rest of the set up was a braze to do.

I purchased this phone two weeks ago and have had no issues that would keep me from buying it again. I chose it initially, because it had a low price and was in stock at the store. My wife who usually stays away from electronics had it set up in a few minutes and she likes it too. It looks good and feels solid. I dropped one of the handsets on a wood floor accidentally and it did not leave a mark. We have the base set up with in 2 feet of our wireless router and it has no static nor does it interfere with our baby monitor. I can walk outside in the backyard with no loss of connection or impact to sound quality. The sound is clear and the ear piece is plenty loud. I like the fact that the call log is shared, so if you clear the missed call indicator or voice mail on one handset they all reflect it. My only complaints would be that some things could be easier to get to in the menu system (for example handset ringer volume) and that it has a limited selection of ring tones.

I purchased this set for a older family member who has a hard time normally using anything with buttons. She has no problem using this phone or the answering machine in the base station. Its pretty much a plug and play install. Volume levels are good for people that are a little hard of hearing. Buttons are easy to reach. Range seems good and the audio quality is great. We purchased the 1 base, 3 extension deal but was happy to see that we can expand up to 12 extensions and they only cost about $15.00 each! We have also owned other Vtech phones and have been very happy with the quality over time so hopefully these will last just as long.
