VTech DS6151-2 2-Line Expandable Cordless Phone System with 2 Handsets, Digital Answering System, Caller ID, DECT 6.0 - Home & Small Business (Black/Silver)

I recently invested in a phone system with two lines and three extra handsets. I made this purchase to replace my old phone set, which failed me after a short period of use. The phone system I chose is exceptional, as it offers a range of features that meet my needs. Firstly, the system is straightforward to use. I had no trouble setting it up and navigating through the menu options. It even has a user-friendly interface that allows me to customize my settings, such as ringtone volume and LCD screen display. Secondly, the phone system has an impressive range. I can make and receive calls from anywhere in my house without experiencing any connectivity issues. This is a significant improvement from my previous phone set, which had a limited range. Lastly, the phone system produces crystal clear sound quality. I can hear my callers loud and clear, and they can listen to me without any interference or static. This is especially important as I often use my phone for work-related calls. Overall, I am delighted with my purchase and recommend this phone system to anyone needing an upgrade. However, this is not a significant concern for me, and I am even purchasing another handset. I'm particularly impressed with the handsets' battery life. Even during lengthy phone conversations that have lasted over an hour, I haven't encountered any issues or complaints. Of course, I can't predict the future, so I'm still determining if the batteries will deteriorate soon or in the distant future. Ultimately, I'm happy with my purchase, and I highly recommend this phone system to anyone seeking a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly option.

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 because they retracted from the 2-line analog phone market, they only offer VoIP stuff, but I am not ready for that yet. I had a Motorola 5.8 GHz for a couple of days and let me tell you, this was the worst phone I ever had, it was even much worse than all Panasonics. There would be not enough space on the Amazon server to write down all the details :-) Then I had a 5.8 GHz AT&T phone and I really liked voice quality and workmanship. But all hand sets had different numbers in their phone book because you cannot transfer the phone book between them; I just could not keep up with this. Also, the functionality was not very intuitive. Finally I got his VTech phone, and I must say that I am impressed. I wanted to have a DECT 6.0 phone because I believe this is the best frequency band for cordless phones. This phone looks great, has excellent voice quality, has an intuitive menu setup, and it has a very competative price. And what I like most which no other phone ever had: You program a number into your phone book and it is available instantaneouly in all hand sets. Only thing, they should have memory for more than 50 numbers. I have this phone and 4 hand sets since Dec 2009, and the only thing I hope is that it will be reliable. As soon as I have an issue I will update this review, so if you don't see an update, that is more points for this phone.

I have 4 of these that we use in an auto shop. 1 work well, 1 needed a new battery after a few months, 1 the ringer died within a couple weeks, the other developed screen issues in about the same timeframe. The paint wears off of the buttons pretty quickly too. Still usable though. I'll probably try a different brand next time.

Had same product before and loved it.

Bought this 2 line system with 3 extra handsets last August (almost a year ago) to replace a Verizon set that I pitched into the garbage after only 4 months. This has been a great phone system which is super easy to use with a good range and clear sound. I'm in the process of buying another handset for it. I wish it came in all silver or even white but that is not a deal breaker for me. My handsets seem to hold a charge just fine and I've had some pretty long conversations of well over an hour without issue. The batteries have held out so far but I'm not sure if they will start giving me trouble soon or in the distant future.

There is no provision to connect with MTNL line.

As I expected it`s perfect for my need, good quality, good shipment but.....the power source is on 110V, US plug (not mentioned in description) ! So...another search, another order.... Not a pleasant surprise. Cheers!

Tenia unos teléfonos de mas de 15 años con estas características y estos fueron el remplazo perfecto funcionan de maravilla

I have used the phone for over a month now. I am happy with the performance of the phone. At the given price, I will recommend the phone. Pros- (1)Elegant look, different from usually seen black sets. (2)Blue back-light LCD (3)Good speakerphone on handset (4) Handset and base buttons are good. (5)Menu is simple-easy to use. Cons-(1)Does not show caller ID with DTMF system used in India. You need a DTMF-FSK converter worth Rs.1000/. (2)Original power adapter is 110V rated and you need to buy 6V dapter to work on 220V, or a 220/110 VAC converter. (3)Set time and date is gone on power failure.(4)Facility to block numbers is not provided.
