VTech CS6719 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone with Caller ID/Call Waiting, 1 Cordless Handset, Silver/Black

Decent basic phone setup for those of us out there with a house line. No frills really, but it rings, and the call quality is great. Shows you caller ID, but does not read it out or anything like that. Does have an intercom feature, which is sometimes nice to have. I only needed a few handsets mainly for outbound calls, so this is perfect for me without having to spend a crazy amount of money for land line hand sets.

It may sound negative but all phones anymore seem to have deficiencies. These seem to be better than others I have had. About the only thing I wish was my speaking volume was louder, it seems low and I need to repeat myself some. I have had the same problem with all but one phone and it had it's own problems.Strangely enough it may not be the phone, hence the 5 stars. These are landline phones and I have had the line checked with no problems detected but will do so again. I know it's not my voice, you only need to check with my sons and they will vouch for that.

I like the fact that each phone is a different color so I know where to hang each one up. I have mixed emotions about this brand, not sure yet if I don't have it set up correctly or is it the phone, sometimes when the phone rings or someone tries calling my number I & they get a fax ringing noise? Need to look further into this.

Love the new phones. Got it all set up with the answering machine. Working just fine. I would recommend theses phones.

They work well and have a decently long battery life. I like them.

Maybe you have experienced this. You call someone on these portable phone, most any brand (I've had three sets) and when you use them there is a lot of "noise" and the signal sounds like it is breaking up. I was told that it was a frequency interference if I had a DSL line coming to my house. Yes, yes I did from my landline phone company. So I canceled my account with them. No more DSL connection. But that didn't solve it. I still have a line from them connected to my house which I disconnected (just a customer access phone jack in the box). That was the only reason I gave 3 stars.

Very nice phone set. I love the different colors. They work great in our small business. Each department has their own color phone. They are easy to set up.

This phone system started acting-up just after the Amazon return window (of course). The problem is the base would stop functioning on it's own and incapacitate the entire handset system. All 4 phones connected to this base said "NO LINE" when the base shut itself down.The first time, I thought it might be my cable provider, but it was not. This happened four (4) times over the course of 4 weeks. Only way to TEMPORARILY resolve the problem was to unplug the base unit, wait, then plug it back it. But alas, the unit with a mind of it's own, would shut down itself and all 4 handsets when it felt like not working.Worse was the customer service; I sent a detailed email to VTech through Amazon's website explaining the issue, steps I took, and that I would like a replacement (the unit was only 2 months old). They sent a canned email back to me telling me to unplug the unit, etc., etc., etc. The email further provided a return address and instructed me to make sure I sent it back either USPS or UPS at my cost and then once they received it, they would send a new or similar type unit.First, why should I have to pay return postage on a defective item VTech manufactured? Second, while they want me to fund the return and they don't ship a new phone until the old one is received, what am I supposed to do for telephone service for those couple of weeks? I wrote back to their reply and because it was clearly evident the entire phone system was defective, asked them to send me a prepaid postage lable. After two days of waiting for it, they sent an email back telling me, "Due to the nature of your concern, your request will need to be handled by a live representative." REALLY? Since I was not up to arguing with VTech anymore, I chose not to call them. I took alternative steps to resolve my issue.But I wanted other consumers to know; STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT. I am in my early sixties and have been a long-time VTech customer. VTech's product quality and customer care has all gone down the tubes. They won't care if I don't buy from them (one person), but if others heed the warning, maybe their revenue can take a dip from selling junk.
