This was not only a really great value, but it's a great piece of equipment that does everything it's supposed to do, and in a fairly uncomplicated way; Thumbs Up!

Whereas, the phone works fine, just have to be sure to keep it charged, because at a moment's notice it will have no charge. Love the speaker, answering machine, so except for battery being shortlived, it works fine.

Don't even think of buying this. I have been using (or try using) it for sometime now. After several hours of charging the battery would die with in 10 - 15 minutes of talking..bad choice...

After a weeks ownership, here is my take on the VTech V2656.
The VTech offers a lot of features for the money and the easy to use volume control is a plus, but the answering system, when contacted remotely from another phone only functions correctly half the time and battery life off the base is terribly short, on mine maybe 15 hours. I suggest you look elsewhere.

I am a total phoneaholic...when ever I see a good phone I buy it. I like this phone I have this answering machine and then have 2 of the stand alones. I gave one to my mother in law and she also just loves it. I have no echo or battery problems after a few months. I love the speaker phone.

I press the button and put the phone on my desk and do what I want...I dont even touch the phone durring the conversation. I can hear them very well from 10 feet away..and they can hear me if I raise my voice...good sound...and is loud enough.

I use one phone with vonage.com and it works very well with that. Everyone can hear me...I ask them every time...crystal clear.

Thank You Vtech your the best !
