Great Set! 2 Phones, 2 cradles/rechargers, and only one that needs line to outlet Good clear reception, super long range, plus LCD panel and phonebook... Alltogether a GREAT SETUP... No Problems! After usin em for ~3 years, the battery life began getting short(4-6 hrs off the cradle compared to full days of usage when new) Am happy to find they use std NiMH AAA recharable batteries! WOW! New batteries and LIKE BRAND NEW again!!! Hope to get another 3 years outa this Set...

these look exactly like the phones i have. i am about 95% sure they are the same unless vtech is dumb and made tons of models with the same frequency and color. anyway, i have had these phones for years approximatly 5. one of the headsets batteries went bad just recently but radioshack helped me there, with simple rechargeable AAA's they work exactly the same and a lot of people just toss phones when they stop charging well. they have offered replacement batteries for years and now with a phone taking AAA's its easier. back on topic, the phones have a decent range never having a problem on my property and they are clear sounding except for the mic being extra sensitive every now and then but with a light tap it goes back to normal, what do you want for such an old product. the speaker phone works well and the auto dial from phonebook works well. sometimes about once a year i have a random problem, normally something like the phone has no dialtone or something, unplug and wait then replug and its fine. they WILL interfere with 802.11 wireless connections as all 2.4Ghz phones do. overall they are good cheap phones, i steer clear of Vtech though since i bought their changable faceplate cordless and it stopped working in a month and never worked again. but these phones have been thrown at the ground on wood floors and split open a bit then snapped back together and dropped all kinds of stuff. they still work. using them handsfree without speaker or a headset will let them slip off your shoulder but thats normal, thats why they have a jack and speaker.

Like others,my phone simply displays a message indicating "Searching". It won't ring, I can't place calls. The user manual says nothing about the Searching message, their website has not assistance. On the plus side, the phone was inexpensive. On the minus side, it's cheap.
