CS6529-4B 4-Handset Cordless Phone with Answering Machine, Caller ID/Call Waiting, DECT 6.0 System, Wall Mountable

I have a land phone and have different colors in different rooms. I can answer the phone from any room, very convenient and I love the colors. Vtech is good quality, you can drop them and they still work. Takes store bought battery, so easy to replace. When I will have to is all about the battery.

Great product

Sorry to say, it isn't nearly as good as my old panasonic that finally wore out. It was easy enough to set up even though directions were on one large sheet with many folds, so it was hard to locate specific directions. The biggest disappointment is that the screen is SMALL and on dim side. Almost impossible to read most of the time. May be OK for younger people with better eyesight--definitely not for seniors. The voice quality is also little tinny. But, It wasn't too expensive and it was on sale after Thanksgiving. So far it works as a landline, but I tend to be old school and depend on a landline more than most. I will probably use it for awhile, then toss it.

I checked when I last bought landline phones for my mom and it was in 2012. She was complaining that her old ones weren't working anymore, or holding a charge, so I decided on this set of 4 because it was colorful and would replace the 4 she had. The base needs to be hooked up to the phone line and comes with a short cord, you will also need a longer one unless you're putting it right by the phone jack. Thankfully I already had one that would work. This also needs to be hooked up to electricity. The additional three phones are green, red, or blue (the base and its phone is silver) and only need to be plugged in to the electricity, not a phone line. As soon as I had the silver base hooked up, the other three started working and had a dial tone. It does have the date and time blinking, so you use the menu and up and down keys to set that first, as well. Otherwise, these worked fine right out of the box, I was worried I'd have to fuss with pairing them or whatever. I like the bright colors of these! The bases are matching colors, as well. Answering machine part is also easy to use.

The reason I did not give this 5 stars is because my favorite features on the older version have been removed. I've been using them for almost a decade and I just upgrade to the newer model every few years. One feature that has been removed is the older models intercom had two options. One option was you could call another phone and it will ring in that room and the person has to actually answer, the other option is you can just speak out loud into the other room like a typical intercom. The second option is Extremely helpful when someone needs instructions (without holding the phone and having to get to it and Actually pick it up to answer), to wake up a child that is not going to get up and answer a ringing phone, you can just holler it's time to get up or you going to be late, giving information when my husband has his hands full with the baby and I could just speak out loud to let him know where something was or an easier way to do what he is trying to do, telling someone something I forgot to tell them when sending them upstairs/downstairs, reminding your children of the instructions you originally gave before sending them to do a chore (just examples, I do have cameras in the house so I'm able to see when I need to say something) or someone is not near the phone and able to pick it up, invaluable in my home. I am really disappointed that that these options have been taken away. They are actually the original reason that I started purchasing these phones to begin with so long ago. Another option that is not available any longer is the ability to name each handset. This feature is crucial when you have numerous phones (we added more and have 8). On our previous phones we named each phone based on the room that they were located in so you could easily intercom the correct phone. These phones are simply labeled 1,2,3... So you have to try to remember what number phone is in a specific room, almost impossible for our children under 10 years old. Previously they could choose to intercom mom or kitchen when someone is upstairs/downstairs and simply needed to ask a question. Again features that should have Never been removed from the new models. I do like the phones new colors, they are vibrant. I am unfortunately going to be looking for a different system that has the 2 options that were removed. This is unfortunate to me because these phones have always been reliable and easy to use. The phones are great though if those 2 things are not a deal breaker for you.

great phones easy to use, and good instruction easy to follow, works great good clear easy to hear on.

If I could give it zero stars it would be more accurate. These are the worst phones I have ever purchased and I didn’t open the box for a few months so couldn’t return them. It is impossible to read who is calling. If they have call blocking the manufacturer forgot to put a button that says “Block Here”! People can’t hear me talking on two of the handsets making this an expensive two handset phone, not four. Loved the fun colors just not all the aggravation.

Varity of colors.

Excelente, me encanta !!!

Nice product learning all the things it can do they’re amazing land lines are hard to find they are priced okay and look great

Wow so far, unreal. Got a great deal in warehouse deals. Exactly what I was looking for

Quede más que sorprendida con los teléfonos son muy prácticos, hermosos los colores , son para mi mamá en casa pero los estábamos checando si se escuchabam bien pero , nuestra sorpresa fue que varios pueden tomar la llamada al mismo tiempo escuchando la misma conversación me gustó ! No lo veo de manera negativa ya que a veces es como repetir el tema cuando quieres hablar con otras personas ..aparte llegaron más rápido que la fecha límite , felices en casa ! Hasta ahora todos fascinados con ellos ! Recomendable al 100% ,

LOS TELÉFONOS SON PARA MI MAMA. FASCINADA CON LOS COLORES LLAMATIVOS. FÁCIL INSTALACIÓN. SE ESCUCHA BASTANTE BIEN. MUY RECOMENDABLES PARA PERSONAS DE LA TERCERA EDAD. AÚN NO HE REALIZADO PROGRAMACIÓN DE MENSAJE EN CONTESTADORA NI A CREAR DIRECTORIO.
