 Very disappointed - useless numberpad!! Jul 09, 2007
I bought this phone in mid 2005. There were a couple of main reasons why I spent the extra money on this phone: it was one of the only cordless phone sets I found that had (a) 5.8GHz (so as not to interfere with my WiFi) (b) speakerphone and keypad in base.
All seemed ok for a few months, but since then the numberpad on the handset has been very erratic - sometimes you have to press a number really hard or a number of times for it to register the number, other times you'll hardly touch it and it would dial that number two or three times. This would be mildly frustrating when dialling phone numbers, but when dealing with automatic phone menus, it is extremely frustrating and a challenge on my self control not to hurl the handset against the wall! Note - I do not use the phone that frequently (at most once or twice a day), so I refuse to believe this is a result of normal "wear and tear".
Final analysis - the quality of the calls is pretty decent, the base seems to work fine, but the handset's numberpad is subpar quality. Another complaint is that there is no link between the info on the handset and the base (e.g., the phonebooks are completely separate, so you have to enter a number twice to store it in both places)
Lifeless phone Jul 04, 2007
Bought this phone a few years ago. Thought it had a lot of nice features. Soon found out, it's not all it cracked up to be.
PRO: Loud ring, speaker phone base, good enough tones to choose from.
CON: Short battery life! After days of charging, after talking 1 hour, it needs to be charged again. Even after changing out the battery.
NOW: Phone won't even charge. It's on, the base works, but not the phone. Never buying a V-Tech again.
 Nice phone but overpriced Jun 10, 2007
We had problems with the first delivery of this order - the numeric keypad on the main cordless phone would not work properly. Amazon immediately replaced the order, but the new order that came had a set of bad batteries that did not get charged at all. In the end, when we had the right parts, the phone worked fine and is in good shape now. The handset is a bit bigger than I would like it to be, and the phone seems overpriced at $90. But it works well and has good voice quality.

 Great phone, fast shipping! Mar 08, 2007
I had a bad experience with this same phone at the V-tech factory ware-house (online)... I ordered it through them it showed up broken, I returned it and the replacement was also broken. I returned it, and ordered it here and it came all in one piece & it's a great phone!! I love the ability to add handsets, and the fact that their is a speaker phone on the base.
