VTech ip5825

Great price for two digital-spread-spectrum handsets; one shared phone book; call timer; standard AAA rechargeable batteries.

Short handset battery life; confusing control-button array; "hybrid" 2.4GHz/5.8GHz; no battery meter.

The 5.8GHz VTech ip5825 is a dual-handset cordless phone system with a bargain price, a nice array of features, and decent call quality.

Phone is good but batteries are very poor

Phones are very good.

Because of poor quality of batteries, do not recommend these phones to any one.

Poor UI design

Ok..talk about aggravating...if you get a call, the caller ID will have AREA CODE-NUMBER. However this poorly designed phone can not understand it needs to put a "1' in front to dial back. This essentially renders the call back function useless. Worse,...

Cheap

Poor UI
