VTech CS6114 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone with Caller ID/Call Waiting, White/Grey with 1 Handset, 3.50 x 3.50 x 7.00 Inches

I bought this phone as a Christmas present for my parents. To be clear, it was one of a couple of presents but those of us without money tend to buy needs rather than wants. Anyway, they were using a cordless phone with a broken antenna, a battery with a short lifespan, and they would use a rubber band to hold it in place on the charger. My mother's only condition was that it had to be "white, beige, or bisque". I came to the sudden realization that there was a very limited selection of phones in this color being sold individually, and decided on this one after doing a little research. My mother loves this phone. She said she even likes the sound of the ring better than the old phone. I answered it tonight in the dark, and love the inclusion of the backlight. I noticed that some people gave it a bad review based on their own ignorance. You can read about the phone features BEFORE you actually go ahead and purchase the item. If they had done this, they would have seen that this phone does not have a speakerphone, speed dial, an answering machine, or a headset jack. This wasn't a problem for us. We don't use speakerphone, speed dial, or headsets; and the phone in my parents' bedroom already has an answering machine. It does come with called ID and call waiting, which is perfect for us.

This phone was cheap! I mean it was inexpensive. As I remember, I paid about $14 for this phone, and it works great. It will last for 2 or 3 days on a full charge, and the sound is clear with no static or distortion. I recently hooked up a fax machine, part of a printer, in my house, and the person who I spoke to about the service said that I could also hook a phone to the line at no extra cost. So, I decided to look here on Amazon to see how much one would cost me. I have been a cellular user for years, and didn't have any idea how much a cordless phone cost these days. I was pleasantly surprised to find this one which was highly rated, so I said what the heck,14 $ isn't going to break me, and I bought it. It works great, and so does my fax.

For a very inexpensive phone, it's a good performer. It's wall-mountable, has decent sound quality, and a pleasant touch to its keypad. It's also got caller-ID and a (smallish) storage capacity for saved numbers. But it's also got some quirks: (1) when you answer an incoming call, it's not enough to simply pick up the phone -- you also have to press the TALK button. Otherwise, it just keeps on ringing. (2) The phone is named "Handset 1" -- you can't change this, even though there are no other handsets. (3) When a call comes in, it shows up on a list of unanswered calls, even if you answer it! (4) There is no speaker-phone capability. (5) The paper manual that comes with the phone is so condensed as to be useless. Fortunately, you can download the unabridged version that is actually useful. Bottom line: it' a phone, it works, and it doesn't cost much.

I bought it a long time ago and it's an excellent cordões Phone.

My old VTech DECT 6.0 Cordless phone got sticky keys thanks to a lot of use. When I tried to clean under the keys one of them popped off and unlike computer keys, phone keys don't just snap back in. So....I had to quickly get a replacement since I rely on that phone to attend work conference calls every week. I was pleased to see the same model number CS6114 being offered on Amazon for a very low price. With my free 2-day Prime shipping, I thought it was perfect. Then I got the phone. Now, let me begin by clarifying that the phone is exactly how it is advertised and portrayed. So the small issues I have with it are really my own oversight. Also, buying items online without actually handling them is always a risk. The phone I am replacing has a smooth, shiny finish and more importantly; it has two indicator lights. One on the handset that tells you when it's charging and another on the base to tell you the phone is in use. The phone I am now reviewing has a rough finish and NO indicator lights. The reason the lights are a big deal to me is because I can't tell you how many times someone in my household has hurriedly placed the phone back on the base incorrectly so it didn't charge. The only reason I could correct the issue is because the light would be off even though I would see the handset presumably on the base. I would get up, walk across the living room and set it properly back until the light blinked on to indicate the handset was now charging. The light on the base that indicates the phone in use tells me that someone (usually my husband) was using the handset in another part of the house. This was useful for me if I got up and began looking around the living room for it but seeing the light told me that I could sit back down and just wait my turn. The rough finish of this newer phone is just kinda annoying but nothing that I can't live with. They can keep the rough finish but at least give me my lights back! So, there ya go. It's a cheap phone. It works well (the last one worked for a few years and probably still has many more years of life left in it if not for the sticky buttons which were my fault.) But if you, like me, are looking for the original CS6114 with the indication lights and smooth finish...this isn't the same one. Edited to Add: The original one with the indicator lights is actually model # CS6114-2 which appears to be difficult to find for sale anywhere right now. Not even Vtech's own website has it for sale, though you can see they still sell its accessories.

I order it on Australian Amazon and product came from America with a American power plug. Not Australian. How am l supposed to use it. Go and spend more money on a Power adapter

Muy buen teléfono inalámbrico, funciona de maravilla y la verdad tiene un excelente precio. Una de las cosas que más me gusta de este teléfono es que el auricular suena más fuerte que la mayoría de los teléfonos, así que si eres una persona que no tiene muy buen oído, tienes que saber que este teléfono tiene un mayor volumen que el promedio. Tiene identificador de llamadas, directorio y puedes personalizar el sonido del timbre entre otras cosas. Respecto a la instalación es muy fácil de instalar y no necesitas configurar nada más. Creo que en general es una buena compra.

It lacks call forwarding and storing numbers is not easy.

In our india, this phone doesn't work for caller ID /call. So I am sorry to say that my investment failed. So please don't recommend this phone.

Terrible customer service from this seller, beware! Item ships from the US and is not dual voltage. It is only 110v, and will not work in the UAE with our 220v electrical outlets. This item should not be sold in the Amazon.ae marketplace. Seller advised me to purchase a power converter when I raised the complaint. Completely unsatisfactory answer and service. Amazon must intervene.
