IS8128-41 Super Long Range 4-Handset DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone for Home with Answering Machine, 2300 ft Range, Call Blocking, Bluetooth Connect to Cell, Intercom

We purchased the VTech IS8128-11 for our office, and it has exceeded expectations. The range is outstanding — we can move throughout the warehouse and parking area without losing signal (close to the 2300 ft claim). The sound quality is crystal clear, and the answering machine works seamlessly. The Bluetooth Connect-to-Cell feature is especially useful, allowing us to pair with cell phones so staff don’t miss important business calls. The call blocking option helps keep unwanted calls out. Highly recommend this phone system for both home and small business use.

Seems to be a great product

This phone system works well. As with most new electronics, it is way too complicated. The instruction manual is about 150 pages. Really. I could live without the flashing light. The automated voice that announces the calls doesn't speak very clearly or know how to read. I still haven't figured out the blocking function. The system is well-made, but some of the buttons are very small and hard to read. I wish they would ask consumers how to design easy to use features. But it is a good phone system, hence my rating.

I was replacing my ancient Panasonic phone, which started to fail. Since I was happy with it, I initially purchased another Panasonic phone, but the range was terrible; it would quit when I walked into another room 30 feet from the base. I returned it. The VTech arrived a few days ago. I was immediately impressed with the sound quality & volume - very important for me due to my substantial hearing loss. The pairing with my cell phone & the fast copying of my contacts list are great features. At first, I charged the handsets only until the three bars on the indicators showed that they were fully charged. Then, the first bar went blank after less than one day, so I thought the batteries didn't hold a charge for very long. Then, I reviewed the instructions which said to charge the batteries for 12 hours. After I did that, the three bars are still lit after more than 24 hours. I think the complaints about the batteries not holding a charge are because people are doing what I did - charging only until they see three bars on the handsets. The directions should stress the importance of charging for 12 hours, at least for the first charge. The batteries in this phone are probably the type that need to be "conditioned" before they'll hold a charge.

Seems to be a nice phone but user instructions are very, very poor. Still haven't had the time to utilize some of the features because instructions are far from clear. A minor problem was that one of the batteries wasn't functional, completely dead. Of course it was the first handset I put together so I wasted some time trying to figure out why the handset was not working. Only figured it out after putting the second handset together and switching batteries back and forth to verify. At least the batteries are reasonably priced. I had ordered this model specifically for its five handsets. We only need four but it is nice to have one in reserve. Had some trouble getting the base handset to sit properly in the base. Had to jiggle it around to get the charge connection.

These are great phones with a lot of distance between base and handset. Having multiple handsets lets me leave these in various buildings on the farm and be able to find a phone for outgoing or incoming calls. I've also taken to carrying one around in my pocket as I go about farm chores if I'm expecting a delivery or a friend. They have worked flawlessly. They do have trouble getting a signal when I'm in a metal building with no base unit - understandable. The sound is good on the speaker phone function, I can stand them up or lay them down to talk while I am cleaning, weaving, crafting, whatever. I have bought these annually for 2 or 3 years now. We have a problem with lightning!! Since the lightning destroys the base unit, I buy another set and then call vtech and have them walk me through manually resetting the extra handsets to use on the new base. From now on, I've got to commit to unplugging both power and phone cord whenever a storm's in the forecast.

Very disappointed with these phones. Transmitting/outgoing voice quality is very poor, and no matter how you hold the phone, all the handsets behave the same - your voice sounds faint & choppy & cuts out often, and it doesn't matter if you are using the base unit phone or any other. We have an AT&T similar set of phones that work well. 2nd point - while these phones support 2 celluar lines, only 1 line can be in use at the same time, and let's say line 1 is in use & a call comes in on line 2, there is no indication that you are receiving another call. So, you will need 2 sets of such phones (incl. the AT&T brand) if you want to have both lines in use at the same time. In other words, if line 1 is in use on the base unit, & you want to use one of the extension phones to call out on line 2, it is NOT POSSIBLE. A 2nd set of these type of bluetooth phones solves that problem, although be prepared because both sets of phones will ring on any incoming call - in our case, 8 phones ring at once when a call comes in.

This is a great solution for a multi-story house! You can set it up for 2 cell phones and no longer have to run around looking for a phone when someone calls you because you can have one at hand in every room. The sound quality isn't great, but still, it's really worth the convenience of having phones everywhere just like when we had landlines.

Muy bien el teléfono.

The other 4 components can’t be charged except the main set, Please find me a replacement urgently. Thanks. Power is not applicable in UAE it’s 220/240 volts Need only to upgrade the the chargers from 110/120 to 220/240

سييء لا يعمل على كهرباء 240 فولت

Funciona muy bien. Se debe de cargar los auriculares por 12 horas según el instructivo, pero con 8 horas se cargaron las pilas por completo. Tiene opción para dejar mensaje propio, yo no lo active, pero esta la opción y puede almacenar hasta 1000 números según el instructivo. Tiene altavoz y según leí se puede conectar por Bluetooth al celular, pero todavía no lo pruebo. Se puede cambiar el idioma en el menú a español, pero el instructivo esta en ingles. También tiene bloqueador de llamadas.

Very good coverage for my unit just under 2000 sq ft. Very good sound quality.
