4.0 out of 5 stars Great phone (but the Vonage rebates are a scam)., May 22, 2006

By	B. Platt (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a really great phone. The range is good and the sound quality is excellent. We also really like the Vonage system, which has worked exceptionally well for us. It works GREAT with broadband, and doesn't slow down even if you're downloading a lot of files, or playing online games.

My only gripe is with the Vonage rebates, which are terrible. Put simply, Vonage doesn't pay. Once they've got you signed up what are you going to do? It's too little money to switch, and so you won't... but you'll be out $50 or $100. So buyer beware, I suppose. On the vonage forums one poll indicated that 70%+ hadn't received rebates... so be careful here.

In spite of the rebate ripoff, I do love the product. So I guess that says something!

2.0 out of 5 stars Description was deceiving, May 20, 2007

By	Kathleen M. Whalen "pcqueen" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The description of the product was deceiving. The photo showed a router and 2 handsets. The description talked about the router and both handsets. All I received was 1 handset.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great, big money saver..., January 23, 2006

By	Paul Bender (Cleveland, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great product, and I'm saving money every month. I wanted to change over to VoIP but didn't want to mess around with phone wiring and such. The VTech 8100-2 system was a great solution for me. All I needed to do was to connect it to my cable modem and with it's wireless handsets, my whole house was online with VoIP.

The only problem I've run into has been if my computer is heavily downloading, and using up most of my bandwidth. With that happening, I've had the sound cut out on my phone calls. I've been told that if I had a router that supported QOS, I could avoid that problem.

I was paying about $36 a month for my old phone service, plus about $20 a month for Long Distance charges. Now, $24.95 gets me unlimited long distance in the US, Canada, and PR... So I'm saving a bit over $30 a month.
