VTechIS8121-3 Super Long Range up to 2300 Feet DECT 6.0 Bluetooth 3 Handset Cordless Phone for Home with Answering Machine, Call Blocking, Connect to Cell, Intercom and Expandable to 5 Handsets

These phones are excellent. They are a must have. They sit perfectly in each room. The call block works fine, setup is easy and a good value for your money.

These are great phones with a lot of distance between base and handset. Having multiple handsets lets me leave these in various buildings on the farm and be able to find a phone for outgoing or incoming calls. I've also taken to carrying one around in my pocket as I go about farm chores if I'm expecting a delivery or a friend. They have worked flawlessly. They do have trouble getting a signal when I'm in a metal building with no base unit - understandable.The sound is good on the speaker phone function, I can stand them up or lay them down to talk while I am cleaning, weaving, crafting, whatever.I have bought these annually for 2 or 3 years now. We have a problem with lightning!! Since the lightning destroys the base unit, I buy another set and then call vtech and have them walk me through manually resetting the extra handsets to use on the new base.From now on, I've got to commit to unplugging both power and phone cord whenever a storm's in the forecast.

I've had VTech wireless phones for at least the past 15 years. They are long lasting and durable. The sound quality is excellent. So what's my problem? In trying to add more features to prevent these desktop phones from becoming obsolete, they've added more menus and submenus. Some of the most common functions you'll need or want to use are hidden in the menus and submenus. The most common usage features should be the most readily apparent from the buttons on the phone, not hidden.Also, the "manual" is lacking. It's a good "fast start" type of manual, but you're going to have to figure out the menus and submenus on your own. Nothing explains them in an organized way. Then you have to remember the functions, because there is not "cheat card" the summarized all the function succinctly.Considering that VTech got the important stuff done correctly, not making the usability and manual easier was a huge mistake. Look for an easier phone.

This phone system has more features than I can use. I like the clarity of the calls, and the best part is that you don't need to record your own answering machine message. It also has a feature where unknown callers will need to say their name and enter the # symbol if they want to get through to you. This will eliminate a lot of robocalls. The only thing that I wish that I could do with this phone system, is to be able to rename each phone for intercom use. As it is now, it'll just list the phones as, Base, Phone 1, Phone 2, Phone 3, Phone 4 and Phone 5. So now you'll have to memorize where each phone is for each location. Our Panasonic system we were replacing, you could rename each phone as, Bedroom, Kitchen, Living room, etc..

I got this to simplify the cell to land line connection. Unfortunately the answering machine does not work when in cell phone mode, nor was my ringer choice. It seems like it has a lot of good features and i like you can run off the land line and the cell, but i was looking to simplyfy my Jack2Cell setup (which bluetooths to a cell and the phone plugs into the blutooth device)

Love the many features. Requires some time to understand them all so one needs to download the full user manual which was not hard to do. Sound is good. Love the answering machine to screen calls.

This is the product I have most regretted ever buying.It is insanely difficult to do even the most simple operations. All of which are arcane and non-obvious and require far more steps than they should.Simple things that ought to just happen, don't. Picking up the phone does not answer it. You have to press a button after you have picked up the phone. Why? Phones have been out there for a very long time. It doesn't require a new way of doing things here.Dialing a number from the phonebook is a many many step operation which more likely than not ends up with function you didn't want such as editing the number.Absolutely insane.After many weeks of use, I am planning to put back my former (Panasonic) phone set. Its one key disadvantage was that the signal is rather weak. OK the current phone is great on that score. But everything else is just so bad I don't think I want to deal with it any more.

Served my purpose
