VTech i5867 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System and Color LCD Handset

Amazon.com Product Description
The i5866 from VTech is a 5.8 GHz cordless phone system with a number of handy extras, including an all-digital answering system, and multi-user expandability to eight handsets (one color-model included). The i5866 utilizes the 5.8 GHz frequency and digital spread spectrum technology to provide clear, accurate reception with less interference than traditional 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz phones. The answering machine stores up to 15 minutes of messages split among three mailboxes, while full remote operation allows you to check messages even while you are away from home.

Caller ID/call waiting compatible, the i5866 has a 50-number caller ID memory as well as a separate 50-name-and-number phone directory to help you keep track of important contacts. You can select among eight ring tones and 12 musical ringers, while the supplied audio patch cord allows you to record custom ring tones.

The full-color handset LCD comes with six preset images that you can assign to phone directory entries or set as background wall-paper, while the included USB cable and image editor software allow you to download custom images. Handset-to-handset call transfer allows you to route incoming calls to any handset registered to the system, and three-way conferencing lets you communicate with multiple parties at once. An intercom feature provides a way to communicate between handset locations, and a global page/handset function lets you speak with all handsets at once.

Additional features include flash, redial (last 10 numbers), and hold. A speakerphone on the handset combines with headset compatibility to provide hands-free communication options. The NiMH battery provides up to eight hours of talk time or up to five days on standby, while a low-battery indicator lets you know when to return a handset to its charging cradle. A handset control allows you to adjust volume levels. The i5866 also comes backed by a one-year limited warranty.

These systems are touch and go at best. Be Warned........2007-04-10

These phone systems are touch and go. The first time I got it, my system lasted about a year. I got it brand new and just released fresh from Vtech. After a year the phone started messing up, people weren't able to hear me speak but I could hear them fine for no good reason. If I remember correctly, I got the unit the first time in either late 03 or very early 04 and had to return it in late 04. Then I struck gold on the second system which again was brand new and has lasted me until about a day ago (April 07) when now the charging mechanism and base unit have gone nuts suddenly. I'm trying a hard reset to see if it works or not. But my point is that this is a really good system for people who want to invest in them, as long as you get one that actually works. The features are super easy to use, the phone is crystal clear and unlike some cordless phones can be used easily with VoIP services. Using regular rechargeable AA batteries are superb in my book as well...no more hunting for proprietary brand batteries that are basically 2 or 3 AA batteries @ $18-$22. If my system is truly broken and I can't buy a brand new replacement, I'll probably get the ones Vtech now offers.

This phone is horrible!.......2007-04-08

The first several months with this phone was okay, and I liked that you could buy additional handsets. But after a few months, things went downhill. There would be random times when the caller would be unable to hear me, even though I could hear them just fine. I had my phone line checked, and it was fine. Then we even switched to a cable phone line, and it still happens, so I know it's the phone itself and not the service provider. Now I have buttons that aren't working. So between the non-functioning buttons and calls that blank-out, I think it's very much time to start phone shopping. I'm steering clear of Vtech!!

Great set of phones.......2006-12-26

I was so tired of finding all the phones in my teenagers room. So I bought this phone, and 4 handsets. I gave my daughter the cool color phone, the rest I told her were not allowed in her room.

It worked like a charm. The base unit has a place for extra batteries to charge, so she never runs out of juice (you have to buy the batteries to go in there). It is easily to find lost units by paging them by number. It was super easy to setup. My daughter has programmed her handset to announce, in her voice, every one of her friends that calls her (some more enthusiastically than others).

I have no problem with the sound quality, it sounds just a good as any phone I have had. It does not seem to interfere with my wireless lan. The battery life has never been an issue for anyone but the teenager (I think she forgets to put her phone on the charger), but that is mitigated by the extra batteries in the base unit. The three mail boxes provide the kids their own message center.

I would buy it again. Love it.

Excellent value.......2006-12-25

I have used this set, with 2 extra handsets, for well over a year. I work from home and the hands free operation using either the base station or a handset is ideal. I also use a Panasonic KX-TCA92 headset with the handset and get excellent reception and clarity both is what I say and what I hear. My house is 3 stories and the base station is in a loft bedroom. The handset works in the lowest room OK

Very good phone at a good price. My only advice is when the time comes for new rechargeable batteries only buy good quality name brands.

Bad Batteries & Phone.......2005-11-26

Maybe it was just the phone I bought b/c I haven't seen any other similar reviews....but I thought I loved this phone at first and then after about 1 month the screen on the handset kept saying "Warning - Use rechargeable batteries only" The only batteries that I ever used in it were the rechargeable ones that came in the box with the phone. Now the phone works for about 2 minutes and then I have to keep it on the charger all the time!
