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

By	J. Webb - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

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

By	Andrew (USA) - See all my reviews

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars No headset jack?, July 23, 2009

By	L. Jonte "Artist, Writer, Flibbertigibbet, Ed... (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bought this phone on the strength of previous reviews. It arrived very quickly (thank you, Amazon) and is, indeed, very shiny. It has a small footprint, which is much appreciated. However, the initial charge takes 16 HOURS! (I expected 8.) However, that I can deal with. It's a minor inconvenience, but nothing more.

What does upset me is the lack of a headset jack.

Who makes a phone without a headset jack (or some other hands-free solution) anymore? I work at home and spend a lot of time on the phone. This is going to be a real problem, but after spending nearly $60 already, I can't afford to find another replacement just yet.

I am rather disappointed.
