VTech 5831 Cordless Telephone

Strengths: Good looking unit, easy to hold & solid performer.

Weakness: Tacky Vtech logo in bright silver on antenna.

Solid performer. Speaker phone option comes in handy for group talks & it actually works. Easy to hold & place between head & shoulder is a good thing. Base unit can be separated so in the bedroom it can go on one side & wife can access the phone on the other. It is nice & means less phones in the house I have to purchase. Several phones I observed did not have this option. Most like this have...

VTech 5831 Cordless Telephone

The VT5831 looks so cool, so does its functionality. I have the handset in my bedroom and the base station in the living room ( 20 feet away with 2 walls ). The handset works with crystal clear voice.

VTech 5831 Cordless Telephone

Strengths: Outstanding features, ergonomic design, attractive

Weakness: Sound quality

I purchased the Vtech VT5831 phone specifically for its strong features. The phone consists of a base unit and and a separate handheld unit. The base and handheld can both be used to make calls and both have speakerphone, hold, mute, redial, caller ID/Call waiting ID and 50 name and number directory. The system also contains an intercom system. Intercom can be directed from the base to any...

VTech 5831 Cordless Telephone

Strengths: Clear sound, easy to use, great range, very expandable, adjustible earpiece tone as well as volume, speakerphone, intercom, transfer, hold w/ringback, mute, good feel, and great battery life!

Weakness: Price, no answering machine on this model.

I bought this phone as soon as it came out, which means I paid probably 30% more than I should have. Oh well, it's more reasonable now but in general, I think all phones are overpriced. This phone uses 5.8g to transmit, and 2.4g to receive. This allows for more bandwidth as it's basically using both frequencies. I like the way it performs. My only complaint is that occasionally I will drop a call...

VTech 5831 Cordless Telephone

Strengths: Easy to set up, caller ID on both hand set & base unit, also speaker phone on both sets. Also good price at $50.

Weakness: no headset

I needed an extra phone and wanted one with caller ID & call waiting ID. It is a real plus to have the speaker in both of the sets. The buttons also have a nice touch to them.

VTech 5831 Cordless Telephone

Strengths: Very easy setup. Quality of sound is good. Design is sleek and has rich features such as speaker phone on handset. No WIFI interference noticed. Expandable to 6 handsets. Great price.

Weakness: Cannot use 2 handsets at the same time (say in a 2 way conference mode) - Most expandable phones have this drawback.

The main reason for my purchase was WIFI interference that I encountered with 2.4 GHz phones. I have not encountered that problem with this phone. Love the speaker phone feature on the handset. No answering machine, but at this price I am not complaining; besides I was looking for a phone without answering machine. Not sure how many CID (caller IDs) it can keep in memory.

VTech 5831 Cordless Telephone

Strengths: Dual Keypad, Dual Caller ID, and Dual Speakerphone.

Weakness: None as of yet. Maybe the price.

Overall this is exactly what I was looking for in a phone. The best thing about this phone is definately the speaker option on the headset. That was the main reason I bought the phone. 2nd best thing would be that you can do everything from the base as well. Ovearall great phone.

VTech 5831 Cordless Telephone

Strengths: Speaker Phone Good value for the price Good sound quality

Weakness: No Answering Machine Headsets do not "share" a phone book each on needs progarammed separately

Good phone for the price (under $100 on sale) Much better than an $80 other brand that I had to return Range comparable and satisfactory (able to cover whole house/yar with no problems) One annoyance I have is they tried to make the interface look like a cell phone ubt if you dial a number and then press "on" you have to dial the number again.

VTech 5831 Cordless Telephone

Strengths: Sound Quality LCD Base and Handset each have independent dial-pad and speakerphone Intercom Expandability

Weakness: None so far. I'd prefer different colors, but the color it comes in isn't bad.

As soon as you turn this on and hear the crystal clear sound of a dial tone, so clear, you're astonished. The Sound quality is amazing, and it feels like a quality piece. You can put your base in any room with a phone plugin, and your handset charger in a different room. Havn't tested range but it does have a Range weakness tone, so it will warn you before it gets too far away. Very cool phone,...
