The i5853 from VTech is a 5.8 GHz cordless phone system with a number of handy extras, including caller ID/call waiting compatibility and multi-user expandability to eight handsets (one included). The i5853 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. Caller ID/call waiting compatible, the phone displays caller information on both the base and handset LCDs; it has a 50-number caller ID memory. A separate 50-name-and-number phone directory helps you keep track of important contacts.
Handset-to-handset call transfer allows you to route incoming calls to any handset registered to the system, while 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.
You can select among eight ring tones and 12 musical ringers, while the supplied audio patch cord allows you to record custom ring tones. Speakerphones on both the base and handset combine with headset compatibility to provide a number of hands-free communication options. Additional features include flash, redial (last 10 numbers), hold, and mute.
The NiMH battery provides up to eight hours of talk time and up to five days on standby, while a low-battery indicator lets you know when to return a handset to its charging cradle. A new message waiting indicator alerts you to any new voice mail messages (requires subscription to a fee-based service), and handset and speakerphone controls allow you to adjust volume levels. The i5853 also comes backed by a one-year limited warranty.

Ok Phone...HORRENDOUS customer service.......2005-09-23
1. The caller ID stores the numbers like a cell phone without the number '1' to call long distance, so if you find the number in the caller ID and want to call back at the touch of button, that will not happen, you must dial the whole number manually to include the '1'.
2. The reception seems good, but there is a definite echo in the headset and can be quite annoying, a little surprising that they would design a major aspect of the phone operation like that...there are many complaints posted on the internet about this.
2. One of the best features is that a spare set of rechargeable batteries can be placed in the base set and will power the phone for a while if the power goes out or used as replacements for a handset. This feature seems to work, but you must use and buy at additional cost the Vtech batteries even though the manual says any NiMH at 1.2v. If you put anything but Vtech batteries in the base set the unit gives you a warning that you placed alkaline batteries in even if you didn't which makes a light on the base flash VERY VERY bright and non-stop, which is really disturbing if you use in a bedroom. The batteries from Vtech are NiMH, 1.2v, 1400mah. I could not find 1400mah and put 2200mah in, maybe the phone can tell the difference? The batteries do work, but again, they give a warning and the annoying flashing light.
I called the customer service/tech line to resolve the battery issue 4 times over 2 weeks. All can say about that is I hope English is not your only language and you can handle dealing with rude idiots that have no clue about why they are working there or their own products. They do however seem to know how to lie quite well when they do attempt to communicate. I can not state enough how HORRENDOUS the customer service at Vtech is. I am trying to be nice about this, but I would have liked to express this in expletives. Anyway if you get lucky and can find at working phone for cheap ($50.00 or under) then maybe, but never again for me. I took a chance on Vtech and lost. Good luck to anyone buying anything from Vtech.
Great features and good phone - An excellent buy.......2005-08-02
