 Give me a 5.4 gHz tin can and a string October 5, 2008
Ryan D. Swensen (Taylorsville, UT United States)
This has honestly been the WORST item I have ever purchased from Amazon. I don't blame Amazon, though. They followed through in every way they should. Simply put, this phone from VTech has no business being on the market.
When I first purchased this phone, within 1 to 5 minutes on a call, the phone would start "beeping" and the call would be dropped. This happened on both headsets and was independent on the number called and if I moved the base stations around the house. I have no other 5.4 gHz electronics in the house, so interference should not be a problem. I even disabled 2.4 gHz products to troubleshoot, but to no avail.
I returned the item to Amazon as I figured it was defective. Amazon promptly replaced the item at no charge. When I received the new item, I got the exact same problem. Tried to contact VTech, but never got a response. So why did this happen with two identical items one right after another? Coincidence? Maybe. Piece of junk phone(s)? Most likely!! I will never buy anything else from VTech!!!
Thank you, Amazon, though, for supporting your customers....even though the manufacturers apparently don't. I'd try calling them, but I'm sure the phone would drop the call before they picked up. Wait!! Maybe I've stumbled on to something here!! Hmmm....
CAVEAT EMPTOR with VTech!!!
 Good deal for the price September 30, 2008

Doesn't have all the bells and whistles of more expensive phones, but does the job. Sound quality excellent.

Brought phone for the kids to use, its ok for short conversation. For some reason when your on the phone for a few minutes, here comes the static.
 OK phones June 26, 2008

The phones work ok, but the wireless range seems to be less than the 5.8 ghz phones they replaced.
Serves its purpose June 7, 2008

This phone serves its purpose as a basic analog 5.8GHz cordless phone and is worth what you pay for it. The caller ID works as it should. The phone holds a charge for about a day and a half (not seven like stated in the manual) on standby. I don't remain on the phone long to measure continuous talk time. You should not expect stellar performance and features from a $35 cordless telephone set.
I didn't expect this phone to have rock solid reception. The phones suffer from static for no apparent reason, no matter what the distance from the base is. I wanted to write this "review" because I've experienced something I didn't expect to occur on a phone that uses the 5.8GHz frequency - crosstalk. It picked up a conversation between two individuals crystal clearly. I guess this is because it is ANALOG and doesn't have advanced signal encryption... None at all I guess.
I suggest anyone looking for a basic phone to pass on this one. The static becomes a bit of a nuisance and conversations may not be safe from signal eavesdropping. Vtech makes decent phones, but when they make CHEAP phones... they sure are cheap.
