Three Handset Expandable Cordless Phone System with Digital Answering System and Caller ID

Perfect for busy families at home, the VTech CS6229-3 cordless phone system comes with three handsets, a digital answering system and caller ID. DECT 6.0 Digital technology delivers superior sound quality, security and range, while ensuring wireless networks and other electronic devices don't interfere with conversations.

With 12 minutes of recording time, the digital answering system answers calls when you can't—without requiring you to maintain tapes or moving parts. The handsets come with speakerphones that make hands-free conversations super convenient. Plus, intercom, call-transfer and conference capabilities streamline in-home communication, cutting down on the need to shout to be heard throughout the house. The VTech CS6229-3 can expand up to six handsets using only one phone jack (the VTech CS6209), making it ideal for growing families.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly!!, May 10, 2009

This review is from: VTech CS6229-3 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone, Silver/Black, 3 Handsets (Office Product)

This telephone set is perfect! I researched cordless telephone manufacturers and I came to the conclusion that Vtech phones had the best overall reviews. I was not disappointed.
Clear sound and no battery issues. Remote phones are problem free. I particularly like that telephone numbers and other things entered into any of the telephones are available to all of them. The buttons are easy to use and using the features is simple.
I have optimum digital/cable phone service through Cablevision and I have the primary base phone connected to the modem. The bases of the two secondary phones are plugged into electrical outlets. No problems at all.
I am not using the answering machine system that is a feature of this set. A really great thing for me is that the telephones actually tell me when a voicemail has been left on my digital/cable system.
This set is a great deal! Other cordless telephone systems sell for a lot more.

12/2/2011: I have had this telephone set for about 2 1/2 years now and I have not had to replace any batteries and everything is still working perfectly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good product for the price, June 5, 2009

This review is from: VTech CS6229-3 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone, Silver/Black, 3 Handsets (Office Product)

I've been using VTech expandable cordless phone system for 4 years. Few weeks ago I was forced to look for a rechargable battery replacement in one of my phones (VTech 2660 series). It could no longer hold the charge.

However, as I was looking around for the best deal, instead of replacing the battery I ended up with a new VTech phone system (CS6229-4) purchased directly from VTech. As of this writing Amazon doesn't offer 4 handset unit but because they all work the same regardless of the number of handsets, I wanted to share the experience with mine.

I'm very pleased with this upgrade. Besides good sound quality and ease of setup/use, I really appreciate the feature of Directory entries being shared by all system handsets. "Any additions, deletions or edits made on one handset affect the directory on all handsets." My old system did not support that - inconvenience.

VTech 6229 allows to answer calls by pressing any of the backlit dialing keys (0-9, #, *) besides those two dedicated (unfortunately non-lit) Talk/Flash and Speakerphone.

Handsets have 10 different ring tones to choose from.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great VTech Phone, September 8, 2009

This phone has all I need. It saves from caller ID to the memory. It has an easy to see display with a battery indicator much like a cell phone. Multiple ring tones are nice. It is really simple and easy to use.

Clarity of voice is good.

It has NiMH batteries, which take 16 hours to charge, according to the manual. Once charged, they stay charged at least four days off the base. This is nice.

If you are looking for a phone that is easy to use, with plenty of features, but not complicated, get this one.
