VTech CS1500 DECT Cordless Phone with Call Block, 1 Handset, Landline House Phones, White, Caller ID/Call Waiting, Redial, Handsfree, illuminated Display and Keypad

My other house phone suddenly died and there was no fixing it. So I had to get a new one. Our house is in an area where we get no mobile signal, so the house phone is essential. I looked at a few but this one caught my eye as it was cheap and it had good reviews. It arrived quickly and well packaged. It was easy to get set up and we have had no trouble at all with it. The ring tone is a bit loud and it is unusual sounding so it makes us jump when it rings, but know we will get used to it. The only difficult thing, for me, is that it has no answering machine to blink if you have a message, you must remember to call 1571to collect any messages. You are aware of a message only when you go to make a call as the dial tone changes to something similar to an engaged signal. You can still make the call without having to check the message but I struggle to remember to listen to the dial tone when I get back to check if I have any messages. But that is something I will eventually get used to or will just buy an old school answering machine. I do like the phone though, it is comfortable to use and the caller ID is so useful for avoiding cold callers. The speaker phone option to the phone is fantastic! You do not need to be overly close for folks on the other end to hear everyone clearly. Our other phone you could not do that. So it made our holiday calls last month so much easier. I would certainly recommend this phone for anyone needing a house phone and especially for the elderly who are slightly hard of hearing, as the volume can go up extremely loud if necessary. We don’t need to have it up high but it is a feature to be aware of as it can be a problem with other phones.

Does what it says on the tin. Very good

excellent

This Vtech Phone looks good, it's a nice size, comfortable to hold and affordable. I especially liked the two way position to add back onto base. The Flaws to this phone are: Adding names and numbers. They are extremely hard to read, Numbers more so. I found it easier to add name with a space in-between each letter. The problem here is, longer names have to be shortened so easier to read. This can't be done with the numbers. So not too happy because of this, The ring tones aren't too good either. I returned a BT previous to this because the ring tones were bad. this one is worse than than that. I'm still waiting a refund for the returned BT phone. I want to return this one, can I return this one now?

Easy set up, nice and compact

Excellent value for money, full of features, easlily heard, white face means easy to read. Good grip excellent sending and receiving values.

Lovely telephone but ringtone not very loud even when turned upto max

Stoped workig after a few months in a listed building

The buttons are squishy making the hard to press, the display font is difficult to read and the phone cable provided won't fit standard wall outlet in Saudi
