This review is from: VTech DS6151 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone, Silver/Black, 1 Handset (Office Product)
I am running a business with 2 phone lines for many years now and phones have always been a problem for me. I found that all cordless phones degrade or stop working after a couple of years, so I went through several different brands and models which I can repport here for you. My comment on the VTech is the last paragraph.
Starting 1999 I had a 2.4 GHz Siemes Gigaset and that was the best phone I had, it was stylish, very well organized and functioning. Unfortunately, wireless computer networking exploded shortly after and swamped this frequency band that no cordless phone at 2.4 GHz worked well any longer. Features included phone book copy amongst the different hand sets.
I had two sets of different Panasonic 5.8 GHz phones, and all were really bad. Voice quality was horrible and something stopped working in a short time. One is tempted to buy Panasonic because they have the largest selection of models. But don't be fooled by that! I could not buy Siemens...Read more

Don't buy if you need a headset jack,

Everything is great about this phone except that it does not have a headset jack. Since I use it for long business this is a must for me and I returned mine. It is my fault for not checking the specs more thoroughly but I thought I would save others from the same mistake by posting this review. So if you need a headset jack don't buy this phone. I gave it three stars because I believe a 2 line phone of this caliber should definitely have a headset jack. Also, the handsets do not support belt clips. So if you are used to walking around with the phone on your belt while you talk look elsewhere. My previous VTech phone lasted 6 years and had both these features. It is a real shame they left these two minor things off. I guess if I want DECT and headsets I will have to go Panasonic. Happy dialing.

Good voice quality,

Just received this phone as well as 3 more extensions. Voice quality is excellent. Answering system is good as well. Fairly easy to operate.Handsets are comfortable to hold.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it does not have a jack for a headset. I use headsets frequently because I have carpal tunnel. Haven't used it outside house to see what kind of reception there is.
