VTech - DS6151 DECT 6.0 Expandable 2-Line Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System and Dial-In Base - 1 Handset - Black

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!

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!

Once I received this new phone system, took a little while to review the operation manual, and get it set up, but now that I have it up and functioning it is doing a Good Job of answering calls when no one is available. Still need to make some final adjustments to the many functions it is capable of doing, but am very pleased with this purchase. It replaced an older Radio Shack 2 line telephone answering system. Glad I could find one that wasn't an arm and a leg in cost factors, and works good. Thanks!

I really wanted to like this phone. It seemed to have a lot of great functions but overall it was poor quality. It started to be really static-y a few weeks after I plugged it in. When pressing the buttons, the beep would delay and there was an echo. I tried to return it but because it had been more than two weeks, I was not able to. I was told that my only option is to bring it to a BestBuy store and turn in the warranty. I'm disappointed and it was a waste of money.

The phones work well and the quality of sound is fine. Picking up messages from mailbox 1 (for line 1) and mailbox 2 (for line 2) is easy and with one touch. Also deleting/skipping through messages is easy. I only wish there were a couple more mailboxes per line. Reviewing caller ID and missed calls is a little cumbersome, but I'm sure it'll seem easier after I've used the phone functions more often. I thought the extra handsets were included with the purchase of this phone, but they are not. I purchased 2 more handsets separately. Both lines work on the handsets when plugged into any electrical outlet.

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.

I must have higher standards for the sound quality of a telephone than other reviewers, because I don't find that this phone is particularly good. Some calls and many messages have a crackly, unclear quality. I also find the feel of pressing the keypad buttons is less than ideal. I miss my old corded phone, but needed one with two lines, so had to switch. I'm rather disappointed in this Vtech phone, but for the time being will live with it.

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.
