Customer Reviews: Intercom Use and Handset Naming is Substandard March 9, 2010 Herbert G. Zeller 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.
Great For Use With VOIP February 25, 2010 M. Cavalier We use this device with our VOIP provider to provide a flexible, low cost service. I purchased 4 of these to go along with a phone/answering machine that already had a total of 4 remote handsets. We use the intercom between 8 rooms so that there is no need to yell across the house.
An Outstanding Cordless Phone February 14, 2010 William Barber (Seattle, WA United States) I looked at all the cordless phones available at a local store. This was the most attractive with a modern chrome finish. The plastic buttons on the phone have a good touch and are easy to use. I bought it from Amazon.
Vtech 6.0 cordless phones February 12, 2010 C. Probasco (Illinois) We bought this system and bought a couple more. Easy to add addtitional phones. If we lose electricty we would lose all phones. Thats why I rated it 4 stars.
Great phone..... great price February 10, 2010 hb (boardman oh) I had purchased a Vtech phone six years ago, that I use in my office. It still works very well. It is a cordless phone, but the battery seems to lose it's charge during an extended off charger period......6 years..... not to shabby.
I purchased another Vtech phone to replace the phone used in our bedroom, which is the base for this particular unit.
No wires to run, and a simple set up is all that's required. Clear sound, loud ringer, {I'm Seventy}, and a lot of bells and whistles, not found on some more expensive phones.....Remember.... this a slave unit to the base phone.
GREAT PRICE, FAST DELIVERY.... need I say more.
