I can only review this phone based on the fact that I can’t use it. It is mentioned no where in the listing that this is a “backup” phone that only operates as part of a system. While the system itself look great and is goin for a reasonable price it should have been clear what was being sold. So now I’m holding to it until I can afford the whole thing and in the meantyme I’m stuck with the phone I wanted to replace which kinda blows.

This is not the whole phone to the other, the confusion. This is an additional device. You can not buy this for yourself, and use it on the phone. No phone phone, or the Fund. You have to buy CS2619 and CS6229. I think I need a better description of this phone, because it is one of the most important results for “wireless telephone”, but whatever. The only two words in the description of the “additional equipment.” Again, do not buy the unit if you need a complete phone. So far a star of the description is inaccurate.

In addition to the two with the base, I bought three additional handsets to distribute around my three level home. The handsets are automatically numbered 1, 2, 3. . . and cannot be renamed to identify their location in the house (and where the charging station would be), such as: family room, bedroom, kitchen, study, living room. A specific name is much easier to remember when calling another room/location than associating a handset number with the each location. This feature was available on the inexpensive cordless phones I replaced.
Secondly, when using the intercom function to call from one handset to another it is not possible to CALL ALL the handset simultaneously. Only one other handset may be called at a time, and only the handset that is called may be used to answer the intercom call. Thus, if you call the handset where no one is nearby to answer, you must call all the other handsets individually until you find the person. In addition, if you hear the handset that is called ring you cannot answer it except with the handset that is ringing. None of the other handsets can respond to the intercom call. This just about eliminates any convenience a multi-station intercom offers.

I ordered this thinking I was getting a phone I could use, and instead it is only an extension for another model. What a waste of money!

I had high hopes for these phones (after all, I bought one for each room in my home), and as you can see from my star ratings on specific attributes, there’s a lot to like about them: attractive design, good features, intuitive functionality, and so far, no real problems on reliability.
It’s just using them as phones that reveals their weaknesses, and those come down to sound quality and comfort — for me, the two most important characteristics in a telephone.
I find the V-Techs unergonomic in the extreme, sort of like holding a brick against my ear (hard, flat). And because of their iffy sound reproduction, I find myself reflexively pressing the receiver against my ear to hear the caller. Not good for any extended period of time.
I avoid that experience by using the speakerphone mode, which, according to my listeners, is quite bearable — and no worse than hearing my voice in person. But the big problem is the incoming signal: I find the sound simply fades into nothingness for seconds at a time, something akin to a fading cell call. Quite perplexing — and annoying, since I need to ask callers to repeat themselves, repeatedly.
I don’t know what’s up with that. It’s not the traditional problem associated with “talking over” someone, which with many wireless phones can result in signal canceling. These lapses happen when I’m simply listening. I’ll probably call the company about it, but I’m guessing it’s not my particular units (it happens with all the extensions, even the one with the base), but something intrinsic in the engineering.
So yes, there’s a lot to like with the V-Tech: great range, decent battery life, integrated update capabilities (changing contact info on one extension, for example, shares it immediately throughout the system). But while I don’t anticipate returning the phones (I’m a bit lazy and too willing sometimes to put up with stuff), I can’t really recommend them. I’m hoping that if/when I speak with the company, there will be some explanation and recourse.
By the way, I do a lot of phone interviews in my line of work (writer), and for that, I have a wired headset by GN Netcom. Now THAT is the way to talk on the phone.
