Vtech Cordless Answering System Review & Vtech Phone and $100 Walmart GC #Giveaway!

At my house, a cordless phone is absolutely needed. Chasing after two small kids, I have no time to sit and talk on a plugged in phone. I need to be able to take my phone with me wherever I go. Recently, I got the chance to test out the brand new Vtech CS6829 Cordless and Digital Answering System.  This phone not only has great reception but it has amazing bells and whistles in this answering system.Screen Shot 2013-08-15 at 1.01.57 PM

The Vtech CS6829 Cordless and Answering System is a single handset phone that is convenient to use. It offers  a feature-rich phone with Quiet Mode, ECO Mode and DECT 6.0 for the best audio quality! This phone offers cost-conscious consumers a dependable phone with loads of functionality at an affordable price.

With this answering system, you can enjoy a speakerphone that can keep up with your calls, increase participation by allowing both ends to speak and be heard at the same time. This allows for conversations that are true to life. The quiet mode allows one to silence a ringer on the handset and base unit immediately or for an extended period of time.Screen Shot 2013-08-15 at 1.05.31 PM

  • Expandable up to 5 handsets with only one phone jack
