VTech Super Long Range 5 Handset DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone for Home with Answering Machine, 2300 ft Range, Call Blocking, Bluetooth, Headset Jack, Power Backup, Intercom, Expandable to 12 HS

I'm still getting use to this set of phones. They're everything good that you can say about a phone. Make sure that it's set in the cradle right or you will experience low battery. Range ,volume,caller ID and most of the features works. There are one on there that I'm not use to like call blocking and I found that out the hard way. Overall it's a great phone at s good price.

good value and good product. like the cellphone feature.

Plugged it in. It says "No date/time". The instructions say "Enter the date", but doing that with the keypad doesn't work. I bet it has lots of fancy features. Too bad they didn't get the first step implemented properly. Once I got past setting the time, I'd say this product works nicely. Audio quality is good and we never get interference. Having said that, the user interface is hard to use: * "Home" means answer the phone * "Menu" means select a menu option, but also means "ok" or "select" in certain contexts * When in a menu option doing something (eg. looking at the caller ID log), you have to use the "Off" button to go back to the previous menu. Hitting left on the big cursor toggle button doesn't do anything. Also, I called Vtech phone support about adding extra handsets. They say you can't add extra handsets (past 5) for this product (product id IS8129-5). Note, that the product description for his product says, "Expandable to 12 HS". So that's an error, you can't expand the IS8129-5 past the 5 phones it comes with. But according to Vtech phone support you could purchase model number IS8151-5 (base + 5 handsets?) and IS8100 (additional handset?) as an alternative to this model.

the range is about 50 ft. No use around our little acre

I got this phone for my parents who still have a landline. The display is larger and easier to read than their last system. Adding numbers to the phone book isn’t too difficult (though I did have to show my mom as it wasn’t as simple as push-this-one-button). Best feature is the spam filter and permanent call blocker. A security system requires caller to say their name and push the pound button before the call will ring through. When the call is answered the recorded name is replayed and you have the choice to accept the call, accept the call and add the caller to a “safe caller” list so they can just dial and ring past the system in the future, send the call to voicemail, or permanently block the number. It has empowered my parents to feel more confident with the people they can choose to engage with on the phone. The one potential draw back to this security feature is that some official callers might not get the option to leave a name and press pound (depending on how their dialing system is up). For instance, my mother’s doctor uses a physician referral system that couldn’t get through until we added the number first. 8/10 for display size, 8/10 for ring volume, 9/10 for call-block and security system…and so vastly superior to their last cordless phones that I will never go back. (I bought the system with 5 cordless phones and left two of them in the box. If/when any of three currently in operation get permanently lost or have battery issues, I can “take a spare” from the box without interrupting their phone service or making them potentially learn yet another new system :D )

I needed a new phone set. I wanted bluetooth to answer more than one phone line. This fits the bill, but that don't make it great. You need to dial the number before you activate the dial tone, or it infuriatingly makes incredibly loud beeps where the timing is so slow, it throws you off dialing the number. The ring sounds are horrible. If you misplace a handset, and you use the locate button, they all go off horribly loud, all at once, throwing off where the actual lost headset is. Like the couldn't do that one at a time, or only ring the ones not in a charger? And they all permantly say, 'New Voicemail', when there isn't any, and for that matter, it has never actually recorded any messages yet. I think that part is broken. The main set also keeps a running count of missed calls for some reason. And the bluetooth quality isn't all it's supposed to be, either. It would be a huge help to have it remember dialed calls, but no, you have to manually dial in each one, or add it to a contact list. Crazy stuff... Add it all up and this is a mess. Look elsewhere. Poor quality. I think the CEO should be forced to use this product, so he'll get a clue.

I needed a reliable system that would allow running a wireless system that could reach out eighty feet or so to the shed/cabin from the base in the house. Having used a VTech phone with one remote extension for a few years that worked well in two prior apartments, I decided to give their extended range system a try. It works better than I could have expected. It was also easy to set up, at a fair price, with enough extensions to have easy access anywhere in the house and shed. Great system overall.

We needed new phones as ours were about 10 years old. I like the feature where it will only accept calls that are in my phonebook. NO MORE SPAM CALLS!

100% recomendable

Es mentira lo que dice la descripción del producto. El modelo que llega no permite conectar más de los 5 teléfonos que vienen, aunque la descripción dice que puede hasta 12. Esto fue verificado en la misma base al querer registrar un sexto teléfono.

Están muy bien. Solo que no se puede cambiar el nombre de cada teléfono para poder identificar cada teléfono. Es una pena porque tenía un teléfono 4 años más viejo que este y si se podía. Solo eso le veo mal.

Los teléfonos tienen acabados de calidad, pero el timbre es muy bajo.

Ni 6 meses sirvió, desde hace una semana se apagó el teléfono y ya no ha encendido el pricipal el que manda la señal, he intentado hacerlo funcionar cambiando de contacto y de eliminador sin resultado
