Very nice phone for this family! [Posted on 2008-01-14]
I have tried many phones, especially the 3-handset phones which are a great invention when you have a large house and not so many phone lines. (Plug in the phone line and the other 2 just plug into an electrical outlet in the wall.) Anyway, I'm not looking for a phone to cook dinner, I just wanted them to go the distance. Voices sound great, not like they are in a hole plus no echo. Caller ID shows up, there is a call log so you can check missed calls, a redial button, mute, and a keypad that is flat so extremely easy to keep clean. I love the slenderness of the phone (almost cell phone thin) plus the bottom half of the phone is curved out to avoid the "cheek cut-off" malfunction. Also I like that the main cradle is made to sit upright so you can easily see if you have messages when you walk into the room without having to go over and look directly down at it. It was so simple to program with a voice message and has a button to choose how many rings you want it to ring before the answering service kicks on. Overall this is a great phone for the money. If you want all those other features, pick something else. This one is what it is. ;)

so far so good [Posted on 2008-01-16]
This would be a five star except they don't allow you to expand the system as other reviews point out. Apart from that I use a phone for the very basic functionality and might only occasionally use the redial, hands free and mute. Creating directories I leave that to my daughter. So far i have found the voice quality to be excellent, the styling is great and is really comfortable to hold for long periods. The hands free voice is very clear. No problems with battery life and the keypad I have found to be easy to use with big keys. I contacted customer services about the extra handsets (yes I should have read the reviews first) and they responded as promised within 24 hours. If this phone lives up to its early praise I will just buy another package and plug it in somewhere else, not really a problem

Sound Quality Good but Lacks Important Features [Posted on 2008-02-15]
The vtech unit looks nice and the sound quality is good. However if you need multiple handsets you might not like this phone. vtech says you can store 50 phone book entries. This is fine but you need to program each handset individually. There is no facility to send your stored numbers to the other handsets. This can be a problem is you have a large phone book.

Another problem is if you want to delete a phone book entry. The manual does not tell you how to do that. The manual does tell you how to delete recent calls. I tried that procedure and it worked for numbers in your directory.

If you use the single handset model then I would say this is a very nice phone. If you want multiple handsets then I suggest you look to another vendor.

Looks great, terrible battery life [Posted on 2008-03-16]
I loved the way this phone looked so I got it. The battery life is TERRIBLE! Only a few hours, even if not in use. We lost one of the handsets, and since it had died I couldn't page it. It's still lost to this day. Now I find out that they are not expandable!!! How terrible! I'm going to order a Uniden like everyone I know suggests. This is definitely the worst phone I've ever owned. Don't let the cool looks fool you.

phone battery don't last long [Posted on 2008-04-12]
Clear calls, but battery life in headset don't last very long. Recommend you buy replacement batteries, because the ones they come with won't hold a charge for very long. Batteries cost about 20 bucks a piece.
