VTech - DS6771-3 DECT 6.0 Expandable Cordless Phone System with Digital Answering System - Black; Silver

Its fine. Some time you have to push down a little bit harder on the button.

I am really enjoying my new VTech phone that I purchased to replace my Panasonic phone. Pros: Wireless over the head headset, the call block feature, the connect to cell phone feature, ability to use the answering machine included and/or the paid answering service provided by the phone company. The only con to this feature is that there is no indicator light to let you know there is a message waiting if you use the telephone company service. If you use the answering machine that is supplied with the phone, there is an annoying beep that that lets you know there is a message waiting. I believe this feature can be turned off. I like the ability to screen an incoming call when you use the included answering machine feature. Very sleek and modern looking. I would have given five stars except for the cons: Buttons above the number pad and below the incoming call screen (see photo) on the handsets are not backlit, the wireless earpiece provided is difficult to put on and is uncomfortable, the base for the second phone is very lightweight and is easily knocked over when replacing the phone. I wish there was a way to block an incoming call as it is coming. Otherwise, this is a great phone and I would recommend it to others.

After 6 months of use, the over-ear wireless headset would suddenly cut out in the middle of calls. After a bit of troubleshooting, it was quite clear that the headset simply wasn't holding a charge. I purchased a brand new replacement battery, but this did not fix the issue. It turns out that in order for the headset to charge, I have to apply a significant amount of pressure to get it to seat properly in the molded headset rest. Neither the headset nor the base was ever dropped, so I deduce that perhaps the magnet that holds the over-ear headset to the charging pins on the base has lost some of its strength. One of the attached shows the amount of pressure that I need to apply just to get it to take a charge. As soon as I take my thumb away it stops charging. Wasted > $100 for a piece of technology that will ultimately go to the trash.

The Good. The styling is clean and contemporary. It was the best looking phone I could find and it had the features I was looking for. Most phones today look like they were styled in the 1970's for Radio Shack. The audio on the handset, headset, and even the answering machine is clean and clear. Calls can be answered from the headset. Calls have to be initiated from the handset. What could be better? The product has a cheap flimsy feel to it and the ear clips for the headset do not appear to be very durable. The headset headband is too small for large heads. The illuminated keypad does not illuminate evenly, which looks cheap. The illuminated display is not very bright and hard to read. The font is too condensed. The range of the headset is very short and susceptible to interference. The Bluetooth does go through walls very well. For best results, you have to be in the same room with the base station. The 72 page manual is too long and filed with too much legal boiler plate. The information you actually need can be too hard to find and too confusing. Otherwise, it could be 5 stars.

I really liked this phone when I purchased it. My intent was to use it for work and the included headset came in handy when I was on long conference calls. The major issue I had is with connecting it to my iPhone. There is a software issue that doesn't allow the phones to connect properly. If the handset rang and I attempted to answer the calI it wouldn't connect. I'd then have to answer on my cell and transfer the call from the cell to the handset. This became very annoying. I contacted the manufacturer who said they were working on resolving the issue. I couldn't risk waiting and potentially being stuck with a phone that doesn't work so I returned it. I now have a Panasonic model which I really like. If you are using this phone with an Android or landline I highly recommend it. It's a great phone but not for my needs.

Very happy with this purchase. Works great. So many features and comes with a wireless headset that comes in handy if I’m doing stuff around the house or doing work from home. Transfer to/from my cell with 1 button. It charges the main phone and earpiece at the same time on the main base. Many other features. I would totally recommend this to friends, family and coworkers.

My Mom doesn’t like her cell phone. She missed having a landline. A friend told me about these bluetooth phones. My son helped me set it up and we surprised her with it for Mother’s Day. It’s easy to use. It reminds her of her old cordless phone from years past.

Great product however it was more than what I needed. It was all that was available in-store for the amount I wanted to pay.
