Customer Reviews:

Piece of Junk [Posted on 2005-11-29]
Within a few months of my purchase, the buttons on the keypad start to fail. Nothing happens when I press the "off/clear" button, and on the accessory handset I bought, the "memory" soft button has the same problem.
Both phones are currently have serious keypad problems, very annoying.
I will definitely steer clear of Vtech phones in the future.

VTech 5831...what's all the fuss about [Posted on 2006-01-30]
Well I have to say after reading some reviews I was leaning towards not buying the unit, but I did anyway. True about the replacement batteries. They are hard to find, but I did find a place to buy a backup just in case. So far so great with the functionality. One thing I do note is that the charge doesn't last as long as my former phones, but then again those didn't have half the features this phone has.

Interference on FM radio reception [Posted on 2006-06-05]
It took me the better part of a day to finally isolate the culprit that was causing a clicking noise about every 5 seconds when I would listen to certain stations on the FM radio band. But finally I unplugged the base station and suddenly the constant clicking noise while listening to the FM radio was gone. It was very noticible when listening to stations in the 100-103 Mhz range.

Otherwise, the phone has been great. The speakerphones in the handset are pretty good and the quality is good given the handsets have survived well when dropped. I'd give the phone 4 stars if it wasn't for the interference issue. But I chose a 5.8 Ghz phone thinking I'd avoid interference issues. However, my old 2.4 Ghz never caused the clicking on the FM radio.

2 years and still going strong [Posted on 2006-11-24]
I use these phones with Vonage and they have been working great for nearly 2 years. I will definitely buy VTECH again.

Got it right first time. [Posted on 2007-02-22]
Vtech could have quit with this one. It's
perfect!
