About VTECH IS8151-4 Super Long Range 4 Handset Cordless Phone
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
87% liked the call clarity, while 13% found it muffled
I have not received any robodial or solicitation calls through the great call block function.
Callers usually quickly hang up on me because of my jolly response with 'Oh hello. Is this Medicare again?'
The sound quality is terrible and it's hard for callers to understand words. After a few months, the background noise became louder than normal speaking sounds.
I have faced issues while calling some cell phones.
78% found the call waiting features helpful, but 22% experienced delays
The phone randomly disconnects calls at any time, making it completely unusable.
75% appreciated the design, yet 25% found it outdated
Handsets are available for use in a 2 story house and can be located for convenience.
The design of the handset is poor and it's difficult to find the call button at night or in inadequate light.
Making a simple intercom call on the phone requires multiple button pushes, menu, and scrolling. The phone has a poor design, as mentioned by the user.
The microphone for the speaker phone is terrible.

88% liked its integration with smart home devices, yet 12% faced issues
I have to push the button several times to connect while answering a call.
I wanted a handy set-to-set intercom function in my large home, but it is not what I expected.
I bought this phone for my home office but it did not show Bluetooth on the off hook menu.
72% highlighted the noise reduction technology although 28% noticed glitches
The microphone for the speaker phone is terrible. If I am not facing it, the person on the other end cannot hear me.
After a couple of months, the background noise increased so badly that the constant hum is louder than normal speaking sounds. The sound quality is terrible.
I have great hearing and noticed that the volume is very low, indicating that the noise reduction technology is not effective.
77% were satisfied with the recording capacity, but 23% experienced data loss
I had issues with recording messages on my phone. The messages were garbled and it was like a cell phone cutting out. Eventually, it became unusable and the BASE unit could not communicate with the handsets.
79% appreciated the voicemail and messaging features, although 21% didn't
This phone has saved me from unwanted spam calls and ignored calls by having the caller announce themselves.
All my handsets and the base always display 'New voicemail' even when there are no voicemails.
I desire a better way to block future calls from specific sources, but it's difficult due to the software used by the sources to make it appear that the calls are coming from a local address.
