Misleading ad.
|Posted .I purchased this 2-Line item because it said, 3 handsets included. When I received it, it only had the one. Went to Best Buy to get the missing handsets and was told that if you clicked on the item 'Whats included' does not mention any additional handsets so it was my fault but they were willing replace it with a Single line phone that comes with 2 additional handsets. I accepted as I needed something immediately.

versatile
|Posted .seems to be a great phone in terms of sound quality and multiple speakerphones (base & handset) ...you can walk around on conference calls with the handset speaker on and muted ... has an answering system, which I don't use ... has an intercom feature between the base and the handset, which I don't use (may be appropriate in a big house) ... has a directory for saving numbers and speed dialing ... has a hold button for putting one line on hold while you answer the other ... has a flash button for conferencing and accepting another incoming call ... has a redial button on the menu screen ... if you have a message waiting with your service provider's voice mail system, an icon appears in the menu screen ... the only thing I don't like (which may be asking too much) is the menu screen on the base and the handset only light up when you press the menu button ... if you have a voice mail message waiting with your service provider's system an icon appears on the dark screen but ... you could go hours or a day before thinking to check for messages ... (not good for looking responsive to communications) ... my old set had a light that would light up and blink if there was a message waiting ... guess I got used to that ... all in all though ... the phone has all the bells and whistles ... great phone for the money!

Great phone for the value
|Posted .I had to replace an old 2 line Radio Shack digital phone, and this was the only one I thought would do the job after searching numerous web sites. So far, so good. Takes a little while to get used to a newer 2 line phone system, but this one seems to work really good. Can get messages from anywhere, after setting things up, but have not had any need to add any additional hand sets....yet! Came with one handset only. Recommend for any small business with 2 phone lines with Internet connection on 1 line coming in. Good luck!

This phone was a perfect land line.
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I needed a new land line telephone. There was not a lot of choices for me out there. This was a very well made and sturdy phone system. It was very versatile..you could have more expansions if you needed them.

nice replacement phone
|Posted .Had to replace an old 2 line desk phone and decided to buy the Vtech. Bought this phone for the wireless handset. The range on this phone appears good. I have found two items that kind of bother me. The keys on the handset are a little more difficult to use and callers have told me that they have trouble hearing me when I'm using the speaker on the base. 2 line phones are limited and overall this seems to be a good phone.
