VTech VS112-4 Bluetooth 4 Handset Cordless Phone for Home with Answering Machine, Call Blocking, Caller ID, Intercom and Connect to Cell

We live in Leland NC which has been growing at a very fast rate . With that being said , Verizon Wireless has been extremely slow to respond to the growth so has all of the other companies which brings me to our dilemma . Even though we installed a Verizon provided extender which did help in the house our service is NOT acceptable , dropped calls & at times poor quality (can you hear me now) .So because of the cellphone issues & not much help other then the extender plus 2 emails to the state agency about bad service did we install a landline . Hence the purchase of these phones . We've had Vtech phones in the past & bought these due to past experience . A big screen because of older eyes plus enough features & an answering machine is all we needed . The sound quality is very good , too plus blue tooth capable .

V Tech is a great phone. This replaced an older version for Bluetooth connect to cellphone and ability to block unwanted calls. Poor cell service (1-2 bars) in one room at home but with cellphone Bluetooth connection to VTECH provided phone service throughout home. Landline service or cellphone sound clear. Simple setup and easy to use. Great value, highly recommend.

This was my original 1 star review:My 90 year old Dad had an earlier VTech phone system that had a problem where periodically the audio would stop working. My Dad would make a call and he could hear the other person but the called person could not hear him. VTech advised us to unplug the main unit and then disconnect the battery in each of the handsets, wait a couple of minutes, and then plug everything back in. That was kind of annoying so we bought a new set of VTech phones for him, this time the VTECH VS112-3. Unfortunately this system periodically does the exact same thing! Every other month or so the audio stops working and we have to unplug the main unit and disconnect the battery in each handset. After plugging everything back in the audio works fine. VTech tech support told us that they have never heard of this problem with this model. They had us send them the system so they could study the problem. They sent us a replacement system and it has the exact same problem! Every couple of months the audio stops working and my 90 year old dad has to go through the reset steps described above. It is really not acceptable. We should have returned them when it first happened.Why did I upgrade it to 4 stars? Vtech customer service escalated the issue and replaced the phone system. So far no problems. hopefully it keeps working.

Very nice home phone. Everyone uses their mobile more than a landline these days, but we call the UK a lot. It's also a bit more reliable.

I got this set to move away from one with soft buttons which inevitably break over time. Boy, was I wrong.The design of this set seems purposefully done to torture the user as much as possible.Cons:* The handsets are SLOW to react to user input (e.g. when you scroll through the missed calls, it's slower than one per second). This is by far the worst point, since it affects everything else.* When you enter a number, then pause for a few seconds without dialing (e.g. to look for something), the handset decides it waited long enough for you and erases everything you typed, without any way to get it back other than typing the number again. This might seem like a small thing until you are trying to call a number as you hear the digits from somewhere, and then quickly stop to write down some info you will need in the call.* The missed calls obscure voice messages, so until you clear all the missed calls you won't know whether you have any messages.* There is no way to look just at missed calls, so if you missed one a while ago you have no choice but to _slowly_ scroll one entry at a time through the call log until you find the culprit.* It doesn't have voice announcement. Until now, I didn't realize how useful this was to hear who is calling without interrupting your work to look.* Only a couple of years down the road, the microphones on the handsets mysteriously stopped working. In the darkness of your home, nobody can hear you scream.* No clip to hang it to your shirt while talking and working around the house.Pros: you can use it for basic function, sometimes.

Absolutely the best! Robo Calls went from double-digit per day to nothing. Price extremely reasonable.
