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.

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.

OMGoodness, I really love these colorful, convenient, easy-to-use cordless VTech phones!! The four (4) different colored phones & matching makes it super easy for everyone in my family to keep up with their assigned phone & the locator button on each phone helps me locate a misplaced phone whenever needed. The primary handset has a recording machine included in the base which makes keeping up with all voicemail messages so easy.

Absolutely worthless phones and it's system. The display is so dim you can't see it hardly at all. I contacted the mfg and they told me it does not have any setting for it or it's contrast to make it better to see what is on the screen. They told me it is what it is. ZERO help from them except to say get a different set of phones and a different brand. This is terrible and should be noted that they will not help a customer and are quite flippant when asked for help.

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 product

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.

Great battery life and very loud rings. Also very clear voice speaker all in all great product

Excelente

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

Funcionan excelente hasta ahora solo los e tenido un mes pero si me hubiera gustado que tuvieran un volumen mas fuerte cuando suena ya que los compre para mi mama pero el volumen al contestar esta bien

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.
