Vtech DS6222-5 DECT 6.0 Expandable Five Handset Cordless Phone System

I bought this 5 set unit at Sam's Club and we are very happy with its performance so far. The transmission range is impressive to say the least -- I was able to use the phone from my neighbors house from at least 500 feet away with no noise or interference, and that's with the base station is sitting right next to my computer. The intercom feature is really handy, and the answering machine portion works great as well. The "hands off" speakerphone has as good a quality as any I've used. The menu driven, back lit LCD screen on each phone is so easy to navigate that I have never needed to use the manual. I also like the fact that all of the handsets have access to the phone number directory.

Of course, the fact that you only need access to a single phone wall jack, with of the other charging stations needing only an AC plug, is the main reason we purchased the system. Now we can have a phone anywhere we need one.

Of course, as with any AC powered cordless...Read more

ok, this is by far the best deal i could find for bang for the buck. We're very excited about it

Why does it deserve 5 stars? Here's why...

1.The price! what a deal for DECT type phones, and 5 in the set!
expands to 12 handsets, we got the extra handsets DS6201 at sam's club for just $17 each. You only need one phone jack plugged in for all 12 to work!

2.Intercom! With this system you can use it as an intercom between headsets, page your family members etc around the house, very neat

3. The Design! Very sleek and modern, looks like an expensive model

4. The Features, a lot of cool features and functions to play with

5. Works with regular phone company or with vonage (we switched to vonage).

6. We have 1 acre lot, phone works outside, inside, in basement, in garage, in sunroom, nice and clear no interferance from our satelitte radios, wireless networks etc - perfecto!

We are very happy with this phones performance.

Bought this phone at Sam's Club. We were concerned that the Vtech brand might be low quality, but not so. This phone has very good sound quality. The reception is excellent through out our home and even in our yard. Phone menus are easy to navigate and fairly straightforward. Base-station has a basic feature set but is very serviceable. Base does not have speaker phone, that would be a nice addition. Can't comment on digital answering system since we use Vonage's voice mail instead.

Would highly recommend. Great five handset system for the price.
