Good range, exceptional sound clarity, large screen view, battery longivity, no interference with our computer wireless network, it's design and size, and the easy intercom usage make it an good wireless phone. The speakerphone works very well too. Even assigning the different built-in ringtones to friends and relatives phone numbers (using Caller ID) isn't too difficult and makes it even more functional. It's even got a battery back-up feature in the base station which makes it reliable in power failures - apparently, a general area power failure can render a multi-phone system useless if they don't have battery back-up. We've had 4 of these handsets with the 5831 base station for some 2 years now. Because of this good experience, I would consider any of the 5800 series VTech phone systems if I had to buy another multiple handset phone system. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:  Pretty Cool Phone, By MusicLover "baby_ima_starr" (Landover, MD USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: VTech i5801 5.8GHz Accessory Handset for vt5831 and i5881 Expandable Phones (Office Product) I like this phone. The reception is just as good as the regular LCD version. The pictures on the phone are not as clear they appear on the box, but they are still good. The downloadable ringtones only lasts for about 10 seconds or so and then that ten seconds of clip is repeated until phone is answered or the caller hangs up. It is easy to use and the instruction manual is helpful. All in all, I like it and I plan on keeping it. 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful:  On their way out, By This review is from: VTech i5801 5.8GHz Accessory Handset for vt5831 and i5881 Expandable Phones (Office Product) I have the previous model that is the same but without the wallpaper. I have had for 2 years. I have noticed that they are losing quality of reception in certain areas of my home and that some buttons on the keypads I am not able to push. I too am having problems with the charger bases. I have two handsets and both will not fully charge and nor sit correctly in the base. Also in going to the vtech website I noticed that htese are on their way out and they are no longer making the additional handsets. I love the style though and wish I could find a similair style with the blue backlighting. I say find a more recent model. |
