VTech - ia5863 Phone Review

I was in the market for a new phone, and wanted several features but didn't want to pay a small fortune. Most important was caller id, cordless handset, and answering machine.

I really neededd the answering machine, as my phone company wants your first born for voicemail capabilites. I also have a two story home, but only one phone jack, so cordless was a must. Like so many others, I screen calls, and caller id was a neccessity.

I looked at several models, before finding the vtech, and was skeptical that one so affordable could really give me the quality I wanted, so I actually purchased a much more expensive model, another make. Within a week, I was unable to see the display for the ID. Upon reading other reviews found that this was common with this type of phone.

I went back to the store and bought the vtech. I set it up, and was pleased at the ease of reading the display and numbers.

It's been 6 months, and I've not had a single problem with this phone. Well worth what I paid, would recommend to anyone.
