Great retro cell phone Telephone

I found this by accident while surfing the Revain website. I thought will this satisfy my need? Well I ordered two of these and they worked straight away with no problems. I use it for ZTE Z667G phone and it works great! This is recommended for those of you who love the old retro feel of the phone and are also concerned about holding the cellphone close to your ear or body when talking (radio emissions). When I'm at home or in the office I just plug this handset into my phone and when it rings…

Pros
  • There's something in there
Cons
  • Little things

The shape seems identical to the handset for the phone model 2500

I have a retro headset and an original headset in my hands and although the retro weighs less it is otherwise identical in all aspects - shape, shine, holes in the speaker and microphone. It's heavy enough to press the buttons on the receiver. So if you want to use it on an older 2500 phone, you'll have a great base for your Microsoft Teams video chat meetings at work. For anyone who grew up in the 80's or earlier. , it's instantly recognizable, and all the fun ways to hold your phone to fight…

You won't know if you don't try.

I really wanted everything to work! The quality of the phone is excellent. It's solid and looks like an old-school landline phone. But my phone picked up interference no matter what I did. This seems to be a common problem as the guide has a troubleshooting section dedicated to this very issue. It advises you to switch channels and disconnect, reconnect, disconnect, reconnect until you have a decent-sounding connection on both sides. I made several phone calls and heard either music, echoes…

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • something different

When using a protective case for your phone, the right angle connector prevents the connector from entering the phone. I had to order an ultra slim 3.5mm Quad Poll TRRS male to female adapter so the male could connect to my phone. So, after a few days of waiting for what's to come, things are going well now. VTech had to do some field testing and would have seen right away that the right angle connector would not fit. Or they will say it's not designed to be used with a phone that has a…

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Almost never

If only it worked as good as it looks

As this is the fourth retro styled phone I've bought I figured the VTech product would have the quality that I am used to from other products. The phone arrived in lovely retail packaging and as it was my mum's Christmas present not only did it make wrapping easier it made opening the present a lot more fun. The phone had easily distinguishable buttons and was finished in nice glossy plastic that I thought would last longer than all other retro phones with a matte finish that peels off after a…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly dented
