Best phone I have owned

"I have purchased many phones and answering systems in my time. Some have lasted longer than others. They all came short of their features&expectations. Until I bought this Vtech. ALL the features work extremely great. It has more features than I have yet to discover. It is easy to hook up and use. User-friendly. I suggest that one cannot go wrong with this model. If you are in the market for a new phone..." Read Full Review »

not that great

"i had the phone for about a year...after 6 months the battery started to die after 15 min. or so. Also hitting speakerphone would shut the phone off every time until it was placed in the charger again, and sometimes when making calls the person receiving the call would hear nothing but silence. I love love love the appearance of the phone but the quality was definitely not up to par. thank god i got the warranty..." Read Full Review »
