VTECH VG208 DECT 6.0 Corded/Cordless Phone for Home with Answering Machine, Call Blocking, Caller ID, Large Backlit Display, Duplex Speakerphone, Intercom, Line-Power, Expandable to 5HS (Silver/Black)

Have had this VG208-5 for a month now, and so far it as been great. I did a lot of "research" checking all other phones cordless and corded options, including at specific phone stores for businesses, before I purchased this system. I am completely satisfied with this system, especially for the price this system is very good value. Overall it is easy to setup and use, and sound quality is very good for a phone. The cordless feature is DECT 6 so it operates on the 1.9GHz frequency range (1.921536–1.928448 GHz), and that provides for less interference from other devices including Bluetooth & Wi-Fi. I notice the difference with the voice quality; as I move away from the base the sound stays good, much better than my previous cordless phone that was not DECT and would even drop calls. Another main reason I bought this phone instead of others is that the cordless handsets have great security due to the the encryption and frequency hopping used that keeps others from being able to easily intercept and listen to your calls. Don't purchase any phone without that kind of security. I also have this phone set to not accept any call where the caller has blocked display of their phone number, and I can say that features works GREAT! Well I had some tell me it worked, including a business that didn't know they block display of their number. Other features: The answering machine works fine, easy to use, no issues with it. Same with the intercom feature, it works fine too. If you have a family and have multiple rooms the intercom feature is great. If you never had an intercom before once you get a phone system with the intercom feature you will always want the intercom feature. One point about the intercom - the handsets are pre-programmed with the handset IDs 1-5 (i.e. Handset 1, Handset 2...Handset 5) and cannot be changed. So when you setup the system you have to install the battery in each handset and check the display for the handset you want. For example, if you want Handset 1 to be the main room handset, you will have to find the handset that is already set as "Handset 1" because those IDs cannot be changed. One other point. Each cordless handset keeps the list of the calls, so even if you delete a call on one cordless handset that call stays on all the other cordless handsets until deleted on the other specific handsets. That is probably the best way for most, though it depends on your particular setup and preference. This feature works okay as is, though I would like the option that when a call is deleted on the corded base that the call then gets automatically deleted on all the connected cordless handsets, but if deleted on any cordless handset the call stays on all the other cordless handset and the corded base. So far I have nothing to say about this phone system that would be a reason not to buy it, especially given all the good points of this phone system. I will update my review if that changes in the months ahead.

Found VTECH phones to be very reliable through the years. This cordless phone was easy to set up, has good sound, and expected to be used for a number of years ahead. Has all the features needed for a household phone.

This item seems to have all the functions as described, it is very easy to set up , i just did in about 3 minutes, made a few test calls, it worth the money, i would recommend it to other buyers, the drawback is it does not come with the wall mount bracket as stated, otherwise it is excellent.

Our home phone quit working. Jumped thru all the hoops of the phone company for a repair tech. After 5 scheduled visits for a 5 week wait, finally talked to a real live supervisor. It seemed to be a choice between "wait forever for a tech or we will send you a device to hook to your phone line to make it work". Apparently the phone company changed their system and we somehow missed the boat on that message. Bottom line is that our bluetooth cordless phones are not compatible with the new system. Ordered this for making it a corded phone (with multiple handsets). Works great. Phone bill went down 60% on the new system. This phone/setup was finally explained to us by a supervisor who knew what was up. I'd recommend this phone if you need a cordless multiple handset. Don't get into the chat loop with these guys. Go straight to a supervisor who you can talk to in real time.

V-tech best phones, great quality

This phone has the old frequency where everyone with a better phone could hear you talking on yours, and even sometimes on the tv. Then they upgraded them to a higher frequency and that solved that problem. Except VYech. They either stayed with the original unacceptable hear-thru frequency, or they're just cleaning out the warehouse. Now it's calling my voicemail instead of the number I'm dialing, just like the ones from Uranus. And as usual with these things, it's past the return by date. Imagine that. I'm elderly and living on a very fixed income, meaning I'm 7 levels below the poverty level, so that cheap price was my limit. Didn't even occur to me they were still selling this junk. I'll try calling the seller and/or Amazon and see if they will do anything to help me out. I'll update. Update. It all went downhill from there. I've had it s few months now. This thing is a nightmare. Spam calls constantly with no way to filter them out. Can't set up the voicemail. The worst part is if someone you know calks, the caller ID a signs whatever name or number or both to the call. If your brother Fred Smith calls, and his number is 111-222-3456, it might show on caller I'd as Mary Jones 999-888-7654. Any name and number, so it's a guess, if you answer that strange number, it might be your brother Fred, or just a spam call from Mary. And saying " take me off your call list" doesn't do anything at all. When I can get the money together I'm buying something else from somebody else, somewhere else.

I had an older version of this and the newer one isn't as good. It doesn't have a call block button on the handset, and the process is tedious to block, having to go into the menu to do it. The calling buttons aren't very responsive, sometimes having to press kind of hard to make an entry. My other system, you could have the ringer off/sound off on the base unit, and set each handset differently. This machine, even though ringer/volume off at base still plays the message (which I don't want to be woken up by the silly thing - that's why I have the volume off!) Lastly, the battery life is terrible on the handsets; drops down to zero (without using/talking on it) after about nine hours.

I sent it to my family and it worked perfect,my aunt could talk meters away and perfect sign

Excellent Quality and easy set up - Sound on Speaker Phone has audible clarity second to none.

Me gustó, ya use la agenda guardando varios numeros, el identificador funciona, lo que no he podido cambiar es el numero de timbres antes de que entre la contestadora, porque con 3 timbres no alcanzo a contestar. Es muy buen producto. Ya tiene 6 meses instalado.
