    Finally, A Set Of Phones That I Can Block Spam Calls
    The VTech handsets were ordered for use with our landline.Since we have a security system that operates from cell phones and landlines, we ordered a new set of handsets and base. This set has so many features that it would take a book to review every feature. This particular system came with a base & 5 handsets. However, it is also expandable up to 12 handsets. The first and primary feature that I like is that I can block phone calls very similar to the way calls are blocked on my cell phone. If I am on a call, and it is from spam call, the “block” button can be pressed and added to the block list. Also, I can manually add numbers to the block list by entering the number and name on the call.The second feature that I like is that I can pair up to 2 cell phones (or 1 cell phone and a bluetooth headset) to the base. There is also a headset jack in case a person wants to use that type of ear phones rather than bluetooth. If a call is received on my cell phone and it is in within about 20 feet of the base, the call can be answered on one of the handsets. Similarly, a phone call can be made from the hand set as if it were my cell phone. In addition, I can block calls on the base that come in on the handsets by pressing the block button while the call is still in the process.The sound of the caller coming through the handsets and the speaker phone is very good quality, and the volume can be raised or lowered dependent upon the needs of the person using the handset. To date, we have not had any issues with regard to the sound quality or volume of the sounds coming through the system.Another feature that I like and use is that the contacts on my cell phone and my wife’s cell phone can be downloaded onto the base for use on all handsets. There is also an “allow” call list that must be manually entered into the handsets, so that the numbers we want to come through without being rejected by the VTech system. Once a number & name is entered into this database, the call will come through. If the number is not in the list, the caller will receive a message asking them to press the “#” in order for their call to be received by us. There are other options available that allow for various levels of security, again, based upon the needs of the person who has the system.Like most phone systems, a person can add a message for those wanting to leave as voice mail. The phone holds up to 22 minutes of messages, and that should be sufficient for our use.Another feature that I really like is that a handset can be used a very long range from the base. According to the product description, the handset can be used “up to 2300 feet” from the base. The distance would be dependent on the structure of the house, the walls, and probably the terrain in the 2300 feet. 0That’s almost 1/2 mile. I have not tested this as yet, but my mailbox is about 1/4 from the house, so I will find out whether that works for me or not. Frankly, whether it does is not an issue, since the handset would not normally be used more than 100 feet from the house when I working in the yard or garden.Finally, the base has a screen that is 3.5 inches long and about 1.5 inches tall. The handsets have a 2 inch screen. Also, the lettering on the screens, especially the base, is large, very large. Seniors and individuals who are somewhat nearsighted should not have major issues seeing the screens. As one who is in both categories, the screens are very readable for me.BOTTOM LINE: This is one great phone system. It replaces a Panasonic system that I had for many years that also had 5 handsets, but did not have as many features. The pricing for this system is very competitive, and we are thoroughly satisfied with it. It also comes in versions with 3 and 4 handsets. I would order the VTech phone system again, and will probably order 2 – 3 more handsets for the apartment in our 1st floor basement.

    Excellent phone for problematic situations (long distances, interference, visual or auditory issues)
    I’m not a sophisticated user of this tech. I use a VOIP line for a home phone and connect the base unit using a standard telephone cord. I’ll probably never use many of the features, so I can’t address them in this review.The good: Easy setup for basic use; Wizards for things like the call blocker. Excellent connections between handsets across the approximately 30m x 30m (100′ x 100′) covered by my floorplan, even while passing through concrete walls with wire mesh within (think incomplete Faraday cage). Display is very easy to read, with large type and backlighting when in use. Voice connections are dependable and plenty loud enough. Should be a good phone for those with visual or auditory issues.The bad: First, the clock has twice moved its time forward an hour. It seems to have stopped doing so when I turned off the option to update it based on Caller-ID (or something of the sort: idr exactly).Second, one of the main reasons to use a multi-handset system like this is for the room-to-room intercom system. This has two. The PTT (Push To Talk) walkie-talkie style one works great and takes a couple of button-presses to activate (Hit PTT, scroll to the desired extension, hit Select). But for some reason, the Intercom function (standard phone-type conversation rather than walkie-talkie style) requires either 6 button-presses (before you even get to select an extension) if you go thru the menu, or 3 if you start with the Flash button. This is why this review is 4 stars rather than 5. Seems like bad design for something so basic.All in all, a solid product for basic phone use. Has lots of bells and whistles if you want or need them.

    Excellent Expandable VOIP / Mobile Cordless Phone System
    I bought this Vtech phone through an Amazon Warehouse deal at $57. This price for a 5 handset system was over 57% off, an excellent price point. This was an open box item (probably returned) that worked as advertised. I also added a sixth handset via a separate purchase. The phone system offers many features that require you to read the manual to take full advantage of the system. Several features that I really like are: 1: very nice looking, with a modern touch. 2. The handset fits nicely in the hand and is easy to hold with excellent volume and clarity. 3. The call screening is powerful with over 5 options to automatically screen out robo calls, telemarketers, etc. while letting other known numbers or known names (like your pharmacy or doctor) to get through the screen. It works very well. 4. You can upload up to 4,000 names from multiple cell contact directories plus you can add other numbers to a separate phone directory. I loaded about 200 names from my iPhone cell phone contacts app very easily. 5. You can automatically block a number through a single key stroke. 6. You can link two separate cell phones to the system via bluetooth connections. What this means is I can send and receive cell phone calls through the system handsets without needing my cell phone. So if my cell phone is left in my office on the first floor, I can take a call from my basement handset or send a call with needing my cell phone. 7. When you are away, you can call your Vtech voice mail system remotely to get messages. 8. The phone has a flashing light that goes off as well as the normal ringer, so you can see and hear when a call comes in. 9. I can use Siri through this phone (if it is linked to my cell phone). 10. There is a built in handset intercom that you can call from one handset to another or a general broadcast to all handsets. 11. The system supports VOIP so I can still use my Vonage account, and 12. Adding a new handset was drop dead easy, simply power up the phone and set it into the base station and it is automatically registered. This system is very expandable and supports up to 12 handsets (I have six). All in all an excellent phone system even at the full price. I would recommend this Vtech phone systemn if you are in the market for a new system.

    We had purchased VTech phones some years ago and finally needed to replace. I had purchased these based on the performance of the past phones. These are even better! Large, clear numbers make it easy to see and dial; the flashing light on the top of the phones makes it easy to find them if they aren’t in the holders and the display is easily able to be read. They work very well and I’m very glad I purchased VTech brand again.

    La calidad de sonido de las llamadas es muy buena y el bloqueo inteligente de llamadas es algo que sin duda todo teléfono debería tener además el servicio de contestadora automática es increíble (funciona incluso si no tienes contratado un servicio de contestadora con tu operador telefónico), su pantalla es grande y bien iluminada.Solo un par de detalles a tener en cuenta: primero, no es tan fácil de configurar y aunque puedes establecer el idioma español, las funciones “inteligentes” permanecerán en inglés, te recomiendo leer muy bien todo el instructivo. Segundo, la calidad del plástico es regular pero se araña con muchísima facilidad si te interesa la estética del teléfono cuida con que lo limpias.Fuera de eso es sin duda un excelente equipo telefónico y lo recomiendo al 100%.

    We were a little concerned about the sound quality based on some reviews. The sound quality is very good, at least as good as our wired land line phones. Overall we are quite pleased with the system. We bought this particular system for the Smart Block which seems to be working well with 2 weeks experience.Pros:Sound is excellent.System is smart and attractive.Smart Block is working well based on 2 weeks experience.Customer service is good, we called with set up questions (see below)Cons:Learning curve is steep, I am a 75 yr old engineer with 28 yrs experience with my local phone company and setting it up was challenging. Read the instructions closely before starting and follow them closely. The instructions are good but could be more informative.Phone Book must be manually loaded using the ABC DEF dial. I had hoped that uploading my cell phone book would be good, but the cell address book and the Phone Book are different and one can NOT be transferred to the other. The Phone Book is important as these are the numbers Smart Block will let through without screening.There is no search feature on the Phone Book, ours has about 100 entries, so using it do dial can be frustrating. We solved the problem by prefixing the name with 1, 1Arthur, 1Chris. Then the 12 or so numbers we regularly call appear first.Phone charges cannot be wall mounted, I made a little shelf for the laundry room, the base station can be wall mounted with the plate provided. I have not used it.Bottom line I would buy it again and recommend it but be prepared for some initial set up work.
