VTech CS6529-3 3-Handset Expandable Cordless Phone with Answering System-Caller ID/Call Waiting & Backlit Display/Keypad, Silver

Now that I have an internet based phone system, this set of 4 phones worked out perfectly. Base unit plugs into the modem, the 3 extension phones are set up on other rooms and all of them work great! Love the fact that they are all color matched with bases as well. Very easy to set up; was operational in minutes.

I've been using these V-Tech phones for a long time. Love them! The only thing I don't like about them is that they don't have blocker on them and the batteries don't hold for long if you leave them off the charger throughout the day! I can talk on the phone for an hour or two and then I notice the charge starts to go down on the phone about halfway never mind it's been sitting on the charger for two days straight. Other than these two matters, the phones are great and do last for at least 5-8 years if not longer. I highly recommend these phones to all because they're so good! The volume is great, and functionality of use is with ease! You can't beat the price for as many phones that's in the set! The color is really nice too because it will blend in with most colors/decor in homes! I've never had any problems since owning this set of phones other than one of the phones keys would get stuck after long use. Besides that, it's a wonderful everyday exceptional phone set!! I just hope V-Tech doesn't stop making this particular model/set! 10 Stars and more!!

One of our "NAME BRAND" handsets died and while looking for a replacement discovered that it was actually made for them by V-Tech. The cost of these 2 phones was less than the cost of the replacement hand set. Easy set up and works just as well as the expensive model. Lacks a feature of 2 of the other model but it's good enough.

Just as described phones are perfect and a good price

this is a nice little machine and I need two phones down stairs and upgreat little ring , the number are easy to see and they light up all inall very nice.

This phone replaces two VTECH 2431 2.4Ghz GIGAPHONES that I've had for over 21 years and really loved. One phone developed an issue with the keypad (buttons were becoming hard to press) but still worked. The other started developed an issue with static on the line so I thought it would be a good time to replace them...and this was the closest match. Unfortunately, the excellent 2431 is no longer available. I like the reliability, voice quality, range, and features of VTECH phones. However, thisphone is only OK and definitely no match for the 2431. There are a few features I don't like. First, as a few others have mentioned, this phone does not have the MESSAGE WAITING LED of the older 2431. This was a blinking green LED on the top of the phone to indicate that you had new voicemail. You could simply glance at the phone, even from across the room, to tell that a message was waiting. The LED was also duplicated on the base station. For this phone, the only way to tell if there is a new message is to lift the phone off of the cradle to light up the display and look for the VM envelope icon. Not very user friendly. The second thing that bothers me is that there is an annoying bright RED LED on the front of the phone to indicate that the phone is in it's cradle and charging. The phone sits on mydesk and this LED really bothers me. It's too bright. Would prefer if VTECH changed this LED back to a green MESSAGE WAITING LED. That would be a more useful feature. Perhaps move the CHARGE LED to the base instead. This is being picky, but I'm also not too crazy about the ring tones. I prefer the tones on the 2431. Also, the 2431 base was a full featured speakerphone that included a keypad and duplicated the buttons on the handset and included LEDs for MESSAGE WAITING, POWER, LINE IN USE, and HANDSET CHARGING. Even without the handset, you could make calls from the base station as well as use the base as an intercom. For this phone, the base simply has a "find handset" button and LINE IN USE LED, no speaker phone feature. The speaker phone feature is only available on the handset. Although it looks like the base speakerphone features are available in more expensive models.

EDIT: while still giving five stars, I've never had to use the locate handset button on the base, but decided to try it today. It only worked IF the handset was in the base! If it was out of the base, nothing. Now this isn't a big deal to me, and maybe it's just a fluke on mine, but for those who might need or want this, check that feature as soon as you get the phone._______________________________________My old Vtech that I have had for four years and also got on Amazon was still working, but they recommend changing the battery pack every one to two years if you use a lot. Well, I do use my phone a lot as I am at home most of the time. It didn't cost much more to get a new phone over the battery pack.So was still going after four years and I have paid 20 and change for my old one, this one, with tax (high tax in my state), was 23 and change.It took about 12 hours to fully charge before first use, which is expected. Maybe a little less or more, but it does take awhile.Love the sleek look!Has all the features I need and was surprised it even had aaa batteries in case power went out! We get a lot of thunderstorms here in the Midwest and power going out not uncommon.It even has a button on the side of the base to locate handset.Bottomline: Would get again and when I want or need another phone, it will again be Vtech.
