Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Note: The VTech 5820 is no longer being manufactured. You may want to consider purchasing the newer VTech i5801 instead.

Expand your VT-5831 or VT-5881 5.8 GHz DSS cordless phone system to its full potential, with the addition or one or more VTech 5820 accessory handsets. Handsets include individual charging bases, which require only a power source to add an extra phone extension to any room in your house. The 5.8 GHz DSS transmission does the rest by allowing each handset to communicate directly with your phone system's base unit, so there's no need for installing additional phone jacks.

Handsets feature caller ID with call waiting and visual message-waiting indicator, storing up to 50 names and numbers access able through the handset's LCD. The LCD also features digital and analog clock readouts and handy navigation controls. The 5820 provides a distinct vibrating handset ringer, which can be used alone or with selectable ring tones.

5 out of 5 stars I really like my vtechs.......2006-11-08

I've had my vtech phones for about 3 years. Originally I purchased it with 2 handsets, then added a third. Now I am about ready to purchase a few more to replace my other phones in the house (especially since it's easier to connect the base unit to Vonage than modify the home wiring).

The only downside is that if one misplaces a handset and doesn't notice for a day, the batteries will run down and the phone will be a lot harder to find. I'm still trying to find one awol handset! Then again, that's a problem with any wireless device...

3 out of 5 stars Phone great, charger lousy.......2006-10-21

In general, I have had a great experience with this phone. Having speakerphone on the handheld phones has been a lifesaver sometimes, and I've found it to work fairly well (I mean, it's speakerphone and sounds like it, but I've never had complaints using it for a short time in a conversation). I've had no problems with buttons in hte 2 years I've had it. I love that you can page the handsets if they happen to get misplaced (though you have to know which handset is missing, or else try all of them). I get great battery life (which is a very good thing--see below).

My complaint is the charger. I believe I have cared for it well, cleaning the metal pieces that make the connection (I'm not particularly technical) occasionally in case of dust or other build-up. We have two phones. For the first year, both chargers worked great. Then one of the chargers would only charge if we put something behind the phone to change the angle it charged at--this would keep the green light on. About two months of that, and that charger stopped working altogether, so for the last year we've been using just one charger for two phones. Since we live in an apartment, that works fine--it avoids the overcharging problem, to be sure! However, now our single charger is requiring the "special angle", so I'm becoming a little concerned that this really is a pattern in this product, rather than a single "Lemon' of a charger.

Like I said, in every other way, I have been very happy with this phone. But if I can't charge it anymore, well.....

I will make no judgment on the company overall, having used only this one product of theirs.

2 out of 5 stars Great while it works!.......2006-02-07

When I first got this phone equipment, I was delighted. It lasted about six months before fizzling out on me. The speaker phone on the base unit worked fine at first. Now callers tell me it sounds as though I'm in a dance hall ... a dance hall with lousy acoustics. The buttons on one of the hand units don't always work. I punch in a number, only to find that I have to do it all over because one or two of the digits didn't register. Now, one of the units won't recharge properly when seated in its base.

What a waste of money.

5 out of 5 stars This has been a good phone........2005-10-13

I have had a V Tech 5831 for over 2 years now and I only have one problem with it. My phone thinks it is central time so the time is off an hour which really isn't a big deal to me.
As far as charging/battery issues I have nothing but praise for this phone. I think the problem for most people and their phone batteries is they don't know how to take care of them. These battery chargers are primitive. Basically this phone will be recharged from being dead to full charge in about 6 hours. Any time over that it will overcharge the battery. Overcharging will of course shorten the life of the battery. So put the phone on the charger at night and take it off the charger in the morning. Don't leave it charging 24/7. As I have said I have owned this phone for over 2 years and when the low battery signal goes off that means I still have 2 hours of talk time left.
I have yet to encounter any problems with the buttons, but I keep them clean and I don't mash them when I use them.
As far as the company goes I would buy another V Tech phone.

1 out of 5 stars Problem Buttons on VTECH 5820 .......2005-10-12

The buttons used to turn off the phone and the 3 buttons just below the display require repeated attempts before they work which is very frustrating to use. I made an indepth product research before buying this phone and am very dissatisfied with this phone. I would not buy it again and am currently looking for another BRAND of phone to replace it. I won't buy another VTECH again.
