I have been using them now for two weeks.The GOOD: I have found the voice quality on the base unit speakerphone to be very good. It rivals systems I have used at work. There are a few really useful functions that I have already become addicted to. The ability to transfer calls from handset to handset (or handset to base) is great - as is the ability to page the base as an intercom ("Kids, come up for dinner, now!!). I no longer feel I'd like to have an intercom system between my upstairs and downstairs. Also, the ability to use each handset as a speakerphone is really, really useful and the voice quality is very good.

Clear as a bell from as far as about 70 yards from my apartment, outside, through the buildings brick wall. The person complaining about it not working with DSL is misinformed, in fact it CAN'T interfere with DSL. Of course if the person didn't install the filters that come with every DSL kit ever produced, then ANY phone will cause trouble. On top of that, because this phone is a 5.8GHz phone, it doesn't interfere with 802.11b (Apple AirPort, or any other WiFi) networking either. I have yet to hear ANY static of any kind using this phone.The caller ID works flawlessly. The hand set has held a charge for over 3 days without recharging. The memory works as advertised. There is even a jack for a headset as well, this jack uses a 2.5 MM input, which is becoming the standard for Cell phones, so there are plenty of choices of which head set to get. The speaker phones on both the hand set and base are very clear, and people I have talked...Read more 42 of 42 people found the following review helpful: Great Phone, By This review is from: VTech 5831 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Speakerphone with Caller ID/Call Waiting (Office Product) After trying several other phones that I didn't like, I'm extremely pleased with this phone. Looks great, works great, outstanding sound quality and good volume range. The uncluttered keypad appeals to members of the family who like it "simple" while still allowing the power users to customize it. It has a mute button (unlike many popular cordless phones), and it has a simple system for transferring calls between the base and the handset, or handset to handset. The backlit display has text that is large enough to read without a magnifying glass. It even lets you cycle through variations of the caller ID numbers to handle situations where you need to dial 1 or you shouldn't dial an area code.Unlike another reviewer, I have had no trouble using the phone on a telephone line with a DSL connection.
