Review on πŸ“ž Enhanced Communication: VTech 2960 900 MHz 2-Line Digital Phone with Answering System by Michael Woods

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good phone, annoying answering machine

Although the connection is very clear and the range is completely sufficient for my purposes (walking outside the home), the answering machine in this phone is really annoying. First, if I hear another person tell me in my announcement that I'm talking underwater, I'll shoot someone. Secondly, there is no bulk deletion of all your old messages (you have to go through and delete them one by one). And third, that little beep that lets you know you have messages doesn't always work, especially if you have more than one message or if someone called and turned the device on but hung up. It's also hard to figure out how to set the time/day - I should always get a manual. And the buttons at the base are confusing. My kids always hit the intercom buttons or put the line on hold when they want to do something else. Other phones/answering machines just don't seem that complicated. What I'll say in favor of this phone is that unlike others I haven't had any issues with the mechanics, although I'd love to see this damn thing *break* so I can get something else with better sounding/designed answering machine.

Pros
  • High-quality workmanship
Cons
  • I'm worried
