VTech CS6719-2 2-Handset Cordless Phone with Caller ID/Call Waiting, Handset Intercom & Backlit Display/Keypad, Silver

Very stylish and functional!

Great land line phone. Back up for cell phone. V-Tech makes one of the best.

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.

Love these, they are perfect for households that need multiple phones. Color coded so you know where each phone came from. Works great, adjustable ringers. Love them

Reliable Multi-Handset System with Clear Calls and Easy Setup This VTech CS6529-4 cordless phone set has been a very practical addition to our home. The four handsets give us coverage in multiple rooms, so no one is running to answer calls anymore. Setup was straightforward—just plug in the base and charging docks, and the phones were ready to go. The call clarity has been excellent, with no static or dropped calls so far. The DECT 6.0 technology really does help keep the line crisp, even with Wi-Fi and other electronics in the house. The answering system is simple but effective, and the caller ID/call waiting features work just as expected. I also like the backlit screens and keypads, which make it easy to use in the evening without straining. One thing to note: these handsets are lightweight, which is nice for handling, but they don’t feel as solid as some higher-end models. The menus take a little practice to navigate, but once you’re used to them, they’re intuitive enough. Bottom line: A dependable, easy-to-use multi-handset phone system that covers the basics very well—perfect for households needing multiple handsets and clear, reliable performance.

Let me start by saying I've had these phones almost 3 years. I've kept them because the quality out-weighed the problem. This phone doesn't beep when you are receiving another call for call waiting or display the caller ID of the new caller. It will sometimes have a skip in hearing when another call is coming through, but not always. Even if you recognize the skip as another call, it won't show you the caller ID of the 2nd caller. Very frustrating. So I have to either tell my current person to hold while I switch to see who it is, or just ignore the 2nd caller. Usually it will have the 2nd callers info on the caller ID when I've hung up. Now for the past 6 months, if I'm using the speaker phone, it is very hard to hear (even with the volume turned on high) unless it is set just right on a surface, with the speaker sitting 'just so' or else it is very hard to hear. I had to buy new batteries (very specific for this phone) after the first 16 months, now twice, as they don't hold a charge now for long. It gets great reception even at long distances (outside the house at at least 50 ft, and is very easy to read the window and the numbers clearly, and the ring is plenty loud. The sound quality is still very good (much better than cell phones - I have both) which is why I prefer home phones for placing and receiving home calls. I have had this phone for almost 3 years. I've had the problem with the 'call waiting' caller ID since the beginning. I complained about that and they sent me new phones but they have had the same problem. So I just kept them because the sound quality was great and the batteries lasted a long time (then). The call waiting caller ID was basically the only problem I had. I've had V-tech cordless phones since the beginning of cordless phones. They used to last a long long time, and the quality has been great. I've always loved them. They just started failing a bit here and there with this set, and that makes me wonder if I should change companies. Instead, I've just ordered a new set of V-tech (will receive tomorrow!) and hopefully, fingers crossed, they will be worth buying again. Or else it's time to move on...

These phones have convenient features (although not much different from the 10-year-old VTech Phones they are replacing), and it's nice to have four different colors to help Coordinate which phone belongs in which room. Price was good, delivery was quick through Amazon

Great set of phones
