[New] VTech VG131-11 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone - Bluetooth Connection, Blue-White Display, Big Buttons, Full Duplex, Caller ID, Easy Wall Mount, 1000ft Range (Black)

Love this phonel! Nice updated look, bright display. Easy to program features and add frequently dialed numbers to directory! Perfect landline phone. Decided to mount the phone base on the wall, less clutter on the kitchen countertop. Looks great!

Phone worked just as expected

Did not keep as it was too small for my elderly mother.

Our new phone we ordered from Amazon Is very nice, we really appreciate it very much ,we. Love the looks and the quality of it, we are very happy

I bought this as an alternative to obitalk which is no longer supported and can stop working at any point. I use google voice for all calls. Overall this is a reasonable replacement but not perfect. Sound quality is inferior to what you get from the cell phone directly. I really wanted to use this for the google assistant option but that is useless because you need to redirect all audio to the cell2jack so therefore you can't use your phone for anything like alerts and music since it will now be heard over the cell2jack only. Using an old phone as a dedicated line will not work either because google voice can't make calls if you do not have a carrier even if you have google voice set as a default app for calls and you have the setting for making calls use wifi turned on. Also, caller id must be turned on on cell2jack settings, it is not on by default. I still think this is a very interesting product and the only one of its kind so it is worth keeping.

Great deal works great

I bought this VTech answering system from Amazon to replace my old General Electric 29869 unit, which finally broke down in 2019 after serving me well for about twenty years. It was a mistake.I had no intention of using the handset – the VTech VA17241BK was to be used on a split line with a Panasonic KX-TS880 landline phone. My only interests in it were to be able to screen incoming phone calls and record those that I missed.I had no major problem with the way the VA17241BK screened my incoming calls – its speaker audio was clear enough to understand. My only complaint in this regard is that it didn't quite go loud enough.However, I had major problems with the way the VA17241BK played back recorded calls. The audio quality of the built-in memory on the unit is very poor. Examples: a caller left a message for me with a phone number to call her back at, but one of the digits in it was impossible to understand clearly. A different caller left me a different message where her name sounded like it was “Brock”, but when I spoke to her later it was actually “Brooke.” This is the kind of message recording audio quality you can expect from the VA17241BK.I discovered this major defect too late to be able to return my VA17241BK to Amazon for a refund – I had mistakenly thought the substandard audio quality was due to either poor landline phone connections or wireless signals from callers that very briefly dropped out of receiving range. A quick phone call from another landline number very close to my own finally showed me where the real problem was: the VA17241BK itself.There was a time when audio memory was very limited (and very expensive) in solid-state technology, but that was long ago. If General Electric could do it right back in 1999 with their 29869 phone answering system (and they did), why can’t VTech do it right with theirs in 2019? What good is an answering machine if you can’t understand at least part of the messages its callers leave on it?Summary: buy the VTech VA17241BK at your own risk.

I love this it is lightweight and convenient
