VTech Dual Handset Cordless Answering System
September 1, 2013
Speaker Phone — I admit I don't use them regularly but when I do I want the person on the other end to be able to hear me as well as myself. My children talk to my husband regularly on the phone, so I love that the kids and I can easily hear my husband and he too through this easy to use speakerphone. This is by far the best speaker phone we've tried!
I like the quiet mode button — so when it's ringing (and waking my sleepers,) I can quickly quiet it.
The ECO Mode Power, which manages the consumption for optimal battery performance. This is a must for us these days because we have a large house and with this one base you acn have up to 5 handsets — I love this feature but a lot of times phones get left around and do not get placed back on the base for a longer period of time. The ECO Mode helps conserve the battery life longer, so they can stay off the phone jack for a longer period of time.
VTech Cordless Answering System with CallerID/Call Waiting
August 26, 2013
We absolutely love VTech Cordless Answering System with Caller ID and Call Waiting. It has a Backlit Keypad and Display that is bright enough to see even in dim light. When we are not home the answering machine records our important messages and we can retrieve caller information with the Caller ID feature that records the callers name, number and the date and time so we never miss a call.
VTech Cordless Answering System for Back-to-College
August 26, 2013
For the College Student: The CS6829 comes with everything a college student wants and needs. For example, a Digital Answering System to catch up on missed calls when they were studying. The Caller ID will ensure they catch all the calls from mom and Call Waiting lets them toggle between study dates and …mom. And of course a Speakerphone so they can take a call, even when their hands are full of books and calculators.
For Home: If you get jealous of the quality of your college students phone, you can buy one for home use too. It’s expandable to up to 5 handsets. Plus, it can handle all the people you want to know and call, with its 50 name and number phone directory and 50 name and number Caller ID history. (I know that comes in handy for me, since I rarely listen to messages!)
VTech Cordless Answering System Review
August 22, 2013
First, I love the black and silver colors. It looks great in my office. The handset is very light weight, and the numbers of the keyboard and screen are both large and clear to read. The back-lit display makes it easy to see even in the dark. I learned almost immediately that the battery has a long life even when it gets left on the charger--this is a bad habit my tween daughter has so its an important feature for me. The volume can be adjusted to the perfect level for each individual's preference. Another feature I love is the ability to turn off the ringer. When the babies are sleeping or I'm working on my novels I don't like to be interrupted by a ringing phone.
The answering system has lots of great benefits too. It stores up to fifty messages and you can replay them as many times as you need to. It also has a built it caller ID system so the name, number and time off the call are all listed on the handset. If you miss someone important, you will be able to go through missed calls and return them with just the click on a button. If you still use a land-line, the VTech CS6829 Cordless Answering System is a wonderful, affordable option.
VTech Connect to Cell Review: Never Miss a Cellphone Call at Home Again
August 21, 2013
The VTech Connect to Cell Phone System with Caller ID uses Bluetooth technology to connect to your cell phone so that you can make and receive calls on a landline, whether you have one connected or not. We use this system to connect our cell phones only and it works great. I continue to be amazed. It’s like I have a landline without paying for one!
Just today, I received a cell call, complete with caller id on the VTech system even while my cell phone was on another floor in the house. I would have missed the call if I didn’t have this phone system.
VTech Dual Handset Cordless Answering System
August 16, 2013
I have found VTech Dual Handset Cordless Answering System to be the perfect phone for any busy household. With the handset speakerphone, I can use the amazing speakerphone that is on this system with just a touch of the button. Not only does it have a speakerphone, but I find this speakerphone to be one of the clearest ones I have used. And that is for both ends, not only is the caller quality very clear, but I do not have to yell into the phone so that the caller can hear me. It makes having a conversation, well the way it should be, even when I have kids running around and a baby screaming. I love that I can use the speakerphone during those times when I have a baby in one arm, and I am multitasking with the other. Which means that I do not have to worry about missing that phone call. I also get the caller ID feature, which is always a plus, and with the light up keypad and LCD screen, I can see what I am doing, even when I have the lights out to get the house to calm down in the evenings, or for when I have to reach for the phone at night. Oh, and just like the other great phones that I adore from the VTech line of phones, I can add multiple handsets, up to 5! And to top it off, when I am not able to answer the phone or for when I am out, the answering machine has up to 14 minutes of recording time!!!

Vtech Cordless Retro Phone Review
August 11, 2013
If you are in the market for a new cordless landline phone, I hope you check out Vtech L56195 Retro Cordless Phone.
When a friend of mine came over, she was super excited to see my retro cordless phone, it's very stylish and sleek. I love that the handset charges facing facedown on the base, so while charging and resting it maintains its look.
The rotary style keypad is very cool too, and I like that you can use the buttons on the base of the phone! A few days ago, I barely missed a call from my sister, and when I got to where the base was, to see who called, I could hear the voicemail and the icon on the base said "Screening Call" as I listened, I could hear her leaving me a message! That was very cool! I liked being able to screen my call and just pick it up during the conversation if I wanted to talk..it's one of the features I miss by not having an old school answering system, and I was able to tell my phone company to take my voicemail off my phone which was $7.00 a month!
Get Landline phone features from your cell phone
August 6, 2013
As far as things have come with phones, especially cell phones, why I cannot get a signal in my bedroom is crazy. My house is less than 2,000 square feet, is above ground and does not have 2 foot thick metal walls. Yet, I have to step 5 feet from my bedroom and into the hallway where I will get a clear as a bell signal! If I walk back into my room, my call gets dropped! With the latest technology from VTech and their new Connect to Cell phone system, I can get the features I need in my land line phone from my cell phone. This is definitely worth any cost, but the solution was not that expensive.
Because we are a mobile device family, we have several chargers and cords for each device. Add our landline phones and their bases to that, and you have a lot going on! In order to streamline some of the devices I am using, to get landline phone features from your cell phone would be great. With the Connect to Cell from VTech, I can bypass the landline and get the features I love on my cell. When I want to have a 3-way call with my mom and my oldest, I can use the Connect To Cell. If you are a family that does not even have a landline, this is a great solution for you as well. You can get the landline perks without the actual phone.
VTech’s Newest Phone: Maximize your Home Phone
July 28, 2013
VTech’s newest phone, Connect to Cell, has brought us the solutions we need to combine the traditional feel of a land line with the freedom of our cell phones.
The new Connect to Cell phone allows up to two cell phones to connect to a base via blue tooth. When you pick up the handset of the base, you can choose which cell line you’d like to use to make a call. And, when a call comes in on one of the cell phone lines, the display area on the handset tells you which line.
It’s very handy. Now, no matter what the situation, we’ll be able to have a phone. We can use the handset of the VTech phone or we can simply use our cell phones. It’s a perfect marriage of two types of phones.
