WOW! For $70, this is a great phone with an awesome answering machine. I was skeptical about VTech at first, being "brought up" with Panasonics and Sonys, but I bought this "Jelly bean" phone, for its features, and consequentially, its price. Everything works, and this comes with a belt holder, and wall jack, and (what I really wanted), a headset jack in the phone (the whole reason for the belt holder...to use it with a headset! :-). Everything works, and I will DEFINITELY consider VTech in the future...I wouldn't overlook this phone. Color came in consideration, but purple is a great color. The three mailboxes make it easy to distribute messages. One problem: with answering machine, you must pick the options from one button; about 7 or 8 options, and you have to press it many times until you get to your wanted option; pretty inconvenient, but not that bad. GET THIS IF YOU WANT TO GET RID OF YOUR OLD CORDLESS AND TAPE-ANSWERING MACHINE! -Jonathan Kay
