Amazon.com Product Description

Set up your own home or small office communications system with this VTech 5.8 GHz cordless phone package, which includes the v2656 base and phone and two additional handsets (model v2600) with chargers. As stylish as it is flexible, the v2656 2.4 GHz digital spread spectrum phone system comes loaded with caller ID/call waiting capability with 50-name and number caller ID memory (requires subscription through your local phone company), and a 50-name and number phone directory. The digital answering system has 3 mailboxes, enabling each employee or family member to have their own mailbox. It also has a 12-minute recording capability

The three handsets communicate through the base unit and can each function as speakerphones and also allow handset-to-handset communication. Each handset offers programmable ringer types. Take advantage of smart dialing from caller ID to call people back without having to enter their numbers. Other key features include any-key answer, backlit keypad and display, mute, 2.5 mm headset compatibility (for hands-free conversations), and visual message waiting indication (VMWI), which alerts you to waiting messages.

Digital spread spectrum technology uses a wider bandwidth than standard 900 MHz transmission, casting the data that makes your conversations across multiple frequency points and at greater power than do traditional cordless phones. This increases your phone's range, enhances its immunity to noise and interference, and heightens its ability to prevent eavesdropping.

The vt 2656 is a wonderful bargain,The phones work beautifully........2005-12-26

This phone system works very well for me...I have used the vtech for 3 months with no major problems...I had to replace a defective battery,in one of my 3 phones...The main system has a very good 3 mailbox system...All handsets have built in speakerphones...The main system is also sold seperately,and extra handsets,up to four total can be purchased individually...I highly recommend this phone system 4 star rated.

VTech 2656 .......2005-11-29

I have had these phones (base and 3 add. handsets) for about 7 months now, and I have to say, they are indestructible. We are very hard on our cordless phones, and Vtech so far has proved the best for us. The menus are hard to navigate, and it stinks to have to go into the menu for caller id, and I would like to be able to rename the phones based on room instead of handset, but like I said, in my experience Vtech phones are the most durable. Out of this set, one was thrown (very hard) across the room, the only thing that happened to it was the display no longer works. I couldn't find one for more than a month, finally found it outside in a bush, but once it dried out it worked perfectly. I don't know what happened with the other reviewers phones, but we use them all the time, and they only get charged overnight about once a week. Probably at least 8 hours of talk time for us on each battery charge, if not more.

Window Display.......2005-10-04

This is a great value, however, the window display is somewhat difficult to read. The background color is too dark and some of the words and numbers are extremely small to read without some difficulty.

Buy a Uniden instead.......2005-09-12

I have this system with 3 additional handsets. The talk-time on each phone is about 15 minutes and it takes all day for the phones to recharge. I've had this for just over a year and it hasn't worked well since I purchased it. Instead of buying new batteries for each phone I will buy a Uniden system.
