The VTech ia5874 5.8 GHz Three Handset Cordless Phone System with Digital Answering Device and Caller ID is a versatile solution for the home. A digital answering system with 15 minutes of record time is built into the base, reducing clutter on your desktop. Because operation is fully digital, messages are stored without the use of tapes or other moving parts that can wear out. Access your messages when you are away from home with the remote functions at your disposal from any touch-tone phone. An audible time and day stamp lets you know when messages were recorded. Two additional handsets work off the base unit, so you only need one jack to run all phones. Just connect the base unit to your phone line, then plug each extra charger into an electrical outlet in any room you choose. Less

Horrible Phone!!

Pros None
Cons Everything!
Recommended it? No

This is undoubtedly the worst phone I have ever had to misfortune to own! Only one person can be on a call at the same time, (this rules out the grandparents talking to both kids at once). The reception is spotty at best, and in some parts of my house, it is nonexistent. In parts of my house, the... Read full review »

Horrible Interface

4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Sounds fine. No interference problems with my 2.4 GHz wireless Internet router.
Cons The interface is the pits. Caller ID and phone number list features seem ancient.
Recommended it? No

My wife and I should have done a little research before buying a new cordless phone system for our house... but we thought, "It's just a telephone... not like we're buying a computer or a cell phone." We never expected to end up with the worst consumer electronic either of us has used in many... Read full review »
