1 out of 5 stars Not Recommended   June 13, 2008
I liked the design, but it is very badly made phone. I owned it for approx. 6 months, and the batteries on the handsets died completely. (When receiving incoming calls, the handsets shut itself off after 3 rings or so.) Also, CallerID and your phonebook does not link (sync), so in most cases, you will just see bunch of numbers, even if the phone knows / recognizes that it is a phone call from your friends or relatives. I think I am fairly generous when evaluating the elecric appliances, but this one is certainly not my favorite.


1 out of 5 stars does this thing ever sound?   June 6, 2008
I bought this good-looking phone late December, i just plugged it a few weeks ago, I'm no very concerned about the battery issue it may have, I'm not home that much often (during the day!), but when i get home it happens, that this phone, does not rings at all.. i have to turn it on either by the speaker or by pressing the green key.

I don't know if its some kind of manufacturing issue or what but it just does not ring!!

i went to their site and what they suggested was raising up the volume! -.- wtf it is all the way up, it rings once everytime i do the things with the keys and i doesn't ring anymore until i do it again!! sooo???

if anyone has a problem similar or so please, let me know!

Thanks,

cp

The phones look really nice and are easy to use. I have not talked long on them but have noticed that after using it for a few minutes and put it back on the base it show it charging which I would not expect for the amount of time it was used. Have not run out of battery yet. My favorite is being able to check messages when not home.

Let me first say that I initially LOVED this phone, however - don't buy this phone! We've had it for less than a year and the charge that it will hold gets less and less every day. We're down to less than five minutes when not cradled. I'm currently replacing this phone!


5 out of 5 stars A stylish phone   May 1, 2008
This is about the 4th or 5th V-Tech phone that I have owned, and I think so far the one that I have gotten the most compliments on. In addition I have to say that with each V-Tech phone that I have had to purchase they keep getting better and better. The sound is great, easy to program, and as I stated very stylish, small and compact. I am a Mom who actually starting buying V-Tech phones because of the way the toys held up and in 12 years I have yet to have been disappointed.
