Vtech LS5145 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Phone System with Bluetooth Wireless Technology Reviews
Basically, if you're just looking for a great phone that will synch easily with your cell (and, if you're lucky, improve upon quality as well). It holds the synch quite well - it will occasionally drop after my cell has been out of range for an extended period of time, but it's a very simple matter to re-synch. I do not have experience with needing to synch multiple handsets. *It is easy to use - again, I'm not very techy.
my cell. Complicated things tend to confuse me ;) This is, for the most part, common sense to use the everyday functions. and does all the basic stuff fairly easily, then this would be a great one to have. Well, the thing rocks. I just figured that if it didn't work for me, I could always return it. Nor do I use some of the more obscure functions - just no need. *I'm not sure how this works as I'm not a tech-type person, but I can make and receive phone calls extremely clearly now when I use the handset vs.
I invested in an iPhone, and this has helped quite a bit, but still not to the extent that I would be able to speak/hear clearly for any extended amount of time. There is very little difference in the sound quality between the regular land-line and my cell on the handset. Here's why:. Typically, this means standing in one spot and trying not to breathe while having as short a conversation as possible. So, that is not an issue for me. I am a representative for a small company and have always preferred to use my cell number for the business. We just don't need more than 2 handsets in the house.
*It was incredibly easy to synch my iPhone with the vTech. However, there is one very large problem with that system - where I live, I get ZERO cell coverage at my house. I am up in the hills, and coverage is terrific everywhere else, but for whatever reason, I'm *lucky* if I'm able to use my cell at home. We only have the one at this point, and if/when we get another, that will be the only other one. Against the advice of a friend (he had never tried this phone), I purchased this to see if it would help.
Do not buy this if your family has two of the same types of cell phones. I have given each cell a unique name, but the Vtech can't seperate them. We have two RAZR V3A cells, and if I link both to the base I lose all cell audio. Great concept, however the phone will not successfully link with two cell phones of the same type, as its software cannot differentiate between the separate bluetooth addresses. Vtech says it is a known problem they cannot do anything about (no ability to update firmware on this unit). They may address it on next generation models.
Avoid. If I want a phone to drop calls, I can always take my cell phone into a tunnel. Drops calls frequently ('searching for base'). Pretty good talk quality, but after less than two years I am ready to toss it out. Great slick looks. There is zero excuse for dropping a call with a phone with new batteries when I am in the same room as the base station.
I recommend this phone highly. The only reason I gave this Vtech only 4 stars is, I would like to enter my own photos. It has great features, sounds fantastic and it is very easy to set-up. Otherwise it has everything I need. When at home, I can leave my cell anywhere in the house and answer it with my Vtech.
Love it. The Bluetooth option is fantastic. This Vtech LS5145 is a great phone.
Works very well. Do not buy the separate units that hook to a phone answering system. This integrated system is basically trouble free.
