VTech CS6229-3 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone, Silver/Black, 3 Handsets

This telephone set is perfect! I researched cordless telephone manufacturers and I came to the conclusion that Vtech phones had the best overall reviews. I was not disappointed.
Clear sound and no battery issues. Remote phones are problem free. I particularly like that telephone numbers and other things entered into any of the telephones are available to all of them. The buttons are easy to use and using the features is simple.
I have optimum digital/cable phone service through Cablevision and I have the primary base phone connected to the modem. The bases of the two secondary phones are plugged into electrical outlets. No problems at all.
I am not using the answering machine system that is a feature of this set. A really great thing for me is that the telephones actually tell me when a voicemail has been left on my digital/cable system.
This set is a great deal! Other cordless telephone systems sell for a lot more.

I've been using VTech expandable cordless phone system for 4 years. Few weeks ago I was forced to look for a rechargable battery replacement in one of my phones (VTech 2660 series). It could no longer hold the charge.

However, as I was looking around for the best deal, instead of replacing the battery I ended up with a new VTech phone system (CS6229-4) purchased directly from VTech. As of this writing Amazon doesn't offer 4 handset unit but because they all work the same regardless of the number of handsets, I wanted to share the experience with mine.

I'm very pleased with this upgrade. Besides good sound quality and ease of setup/use, I really appreciate the feature of Directory entries being shared by all system handsets. "Any additions, deletions or edits made on one handset affect the directory on all handsets." My old system did not support that - inconvenience.

This phone has all I need. It saves from caller ID to the memory. It has an easy to see display with a battery indicator much like a cell phone. Multiple ring tones are nice. It is really simple and easy to use.

Clarity of voice is good.

It has NiMH batteries, which take 16 hours to charge, according to the manual. Once charged, they stay charged at least four days off the base. This is nice.

If you are looking for a phone that is easy to use, with plenty of features, but not complicated, get this one.
