VTech CS6529 DECT 6.0 Phone Answering System with Caller ID/Call Waiting, 1 Cordless Handset, Silver/Black

Plug in the batteries, plug in the base, use your new phone, it’s that simple! I was dreading having to set up a new device, but there was nothing to set up! This phone is pretty much identical to the 20 year old phone, from the same company, that it’s replacing, if it lasts half as long as the old one, I’m happy!

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.

One of our "NAME BRAND" handsets died and while looking for a replacement discovered that it was actually made for them by V-Tech. The cost of these 2 phones was less than the cost of the replacement hand set. Easy set up and works just as well as the expensive model. Lacks a feature of 2 of the other model but it's good enough.

Now that I have an internet based phone system, this set of 4 phones worked out perfectly. Base unit plugs into the modem, the 3 extension phones are set up on other rooms and all of them work great! Love the fact that they are all color matched with bases as well. Very easy to set up; was operational in minutes.

this is a nice little machine and I need two phones down stairs and upgreat little ring , the number are easy to see and they light up all inall very nice.

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.

Good phones with good reception. This is the second time I’ve purchased them. My other set last many years.

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.
