VTech CS6529-26 DECT 6.0 Phone Answering System with Caller ID/Call Waiting, 2 Cordless Handsets, Red

Slim design, easy set up, great sound quality, only issue was the led display was not very bright and used small letters not recommended for older adults with vision problems

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.

Works well, but volume choices not as loud as my older VTech.

Works so far. Best part was they were compatible with the lines I had from old phone. So didn't need to do to much to hook up.

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.

VTech C56529-2 Dect 6.0 Answering Machine with Caller ID/Call Waiting, 2 Cordless handsets/Silver & Black 1st I purchased AT&T Cordless phones because my old ones lasted 18 year, sent them back because you couldn't hang them on the wall & ringer was so low you couldn't hear them ring (had the volume up all the way). I purchased these VTech phones & the ringer on these are so low, have the volume all the way up. If your on the phone & someone else calls in & you don't answer it, it takes 30 minutes or so for the number to show up on caller ID. Thats why I gave it a 3 star. I would of sent them back but I figured all the phones would be like that since I got 2 different brands & they had same problem, low ringer. Hope this helps someone else.

Great phone, fair price, but to bad after having it for less than a hour a lighting strike fryed it.

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.
