I just bought this phone, and it is the best thing that I have ever bought. I don't know why people are "Dissapointed" with this item. It goes pretty far, like a couple of blocks, and has tons of features. The only dissadvantage with this item is that an answering machine is not built into it. There is a site where you can purchase the answering machine that goes with it, but I can not recall it. This phone also has a speaker on the back of the handset. So you can push a button called "Handsfree" and just talk into the back of the phone if your ear is getting tired. This phone is a MUST BUY!!!

I first heard about this phone from my friend. He has this phone, I was surprised with the clear speakerphone. I will sure buy it soon. It seems like everyone is out of stock with them. I would recommend it to anyone. ITS A GREAT PHONE.

This cordless phone has great features - speakerphone on base and handset, caller ID, memory dial.

Sound quality is quite bad however- even with the great features, I had to return it. Tinny sound to the handset, the speaker on the handset sounds abysmal, and the quality of the construction seems poor. Really small handset, and somehow didn't feel as comfortable as my old cordless phones. Finally, didn't like any of the 6 hyper pitched ring tones.

The reviews here seem accurate based on my experiences. When the phone works its great, but unfortunately it does not always work. Mine was not clear when I first received it, but after a few weeks of use the sound quality and range was excellent. However, it then began to occasionally drop calls (battery charge was fine). After several months of randomly droped calls, it has stoped functioning as a phone (although the intercom works great still and the base speaker phone is fine).

I may have had this phone for more than most people... It worked GREAT the first few months. Then by month 10 it no longer rang. This would be and continues to be my only problem. I returned it to vtech, they sent me a brand new phone and receiver. Took about a month unfortunately. This phone [didn't work either] and now im trying to consider buying something else or keeping this phone. I really like it but who wants a phone which doesnt ring?
