Pros Decent range, an impressive array of features, ease of use and oh yeh, cool styling!
Cons Vtech had an almost perfect phone, but ruined it with a lousy battery.
Recommended it? Yes

My first experience with this phone was when Bellsouth sent one with their logo on it. When I received my first bill for it, it promptly was returned as they had told me the phone was "just $30" not 6 (yes, 6) installments of $30!! Installments?!! On a phone?

Worth maybe $20...not $200

bygrimmond Dec 27, 2006

Pros Lots of bells and whistles. Can listen to messages from handset.
Cons Broke Fast. Problem ridden.
Recommended it? No

Constantly had to cycle the power because the headset couldn't find the base. Lost a lot of calls: phone would ring, I'd pick up the handset, phone stops ringing as if I picked it up, but the handset can't talk to the base station. This happened frequently.
