Review on πŸ“ž VTECH IS8151-4: Super Long Range Cordless Phone with Answering Machine, Call Blocking, Bluetooth - 4 Handsets, 2300 ft Range by Miriam Hettich

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The hands-free microphone of the phone is not good.

Updated 01/16/21 - Will be returned.1. Hands-free microphone is terrible.2. The mute button only mutes the handset where you press it. If a handset is in the base and you press the mute button on the base, the handset will keep ringing, VERY annoying, just like everyone else in the house.3. Menu Mess.4. Can't add digit like 1 to caller id, caller id shows 123-456-7890, you can't add 1, so you can't select number from caller id and press talk button. **** **************** Original review November 2020 ************************* * * **** As other people said, the microphone is not amplified in hands-free mode. You have to hold the phone by the bottom where the microphone is right in front of your mouth as if you're not using the speakerphone at all. The sound quality and volume of the speaker is good. Range is ok, I have 2 acres and it works anywhere, 2300ft although that would be a range I would say. The Bluetooth to cellular connection works pretty well. One thing I really dislike is that you can't name each phone like bedroom, living room, etc. They are prenamed HS1, HS2, HS3, HS4 and you cannot change them. I don't care about those two points, then they will work fine for you.
