Vtech ia5824 - 5.8 GHz Cordless Phone w/ Caller ID

 (27 customer reviews)

Well, after looking for a cordless after my GE cordless bit the dust, I started looking for a good decent cordless phone. I never realized it would be such a journey to find a good one. The phones today look terrible. Who designs them, turtles? I saw yellow phones with green, pumpkin color phones, white phones backlit with orange, black phones backlit with milky white and blue lettering? Yuk! Uniden phones looked like a 70s flashback of Tandy. Most of the phones are awful looking. I finally found one in silver which goes with all the silver stuff in my house, this one. I took for granted there is no mute button. If there is a mute button PLEASE write it on here because I went through the instructions, nothing about mute. I can barely see mute listed in the window but no mute button. Called Vtech and the girl said she didn't know, asked someone else who didn't know and I thought, THEY don't know, how in hades am I supposed to know if they don't know? So anyone find it, let me know...Read more

Great cordless phone!! No problems so far and the range is great, even when I walk outside and close the door. People come across very clear and crisp. The 20 name phone directory is great and easy to use. The battery life is good for what I use it for. I guess my only complaint is that I wish the ringer was a tad louder but thats probably a personal preference. Overall, for the money, I highly recommend this phone.

We received one as a Christmas present, and liked it at first--back when it was working. Only 5 months later, we began having having trouble getting it to charge and keep a charge. Now, almost 7 months later, it has a loud hum on either channel and the handset almost won't hold a charge at all. We are shopping for a new, decent phone.
