The VTech LS6245
Readers probably already know that I’m obsessed with the latest technology, so when Vtech offered me the opportunity to test one of their newest offerings, I immediately chose this one. It’s gorgeous, and has Bluetooth to link up to your cell phone!
The Vtech LS6245 has a touch-sensitive keypad with no actual buttons, which makes it look incredibly sleek and modern. My initial concern was that my chin or cheek would start randomly dialing while holding the phone under my chin, but that hasn’t happened. The keypad locks, and you have to “unlock” it to activate the buttons which prevents accidental dialing.
My favorite feature, however, is the ability to use Bluetooth to link the phone up with my iPhone. When I’m home, my regular phone rings when I get a call on my cell. I can also use the Vtech to make/receive calls on my cell line. I’m impressed with the range, but do have to admit that I’ve had a few volume issues that I still need to work out.
This phone also offers an answering machine, but I don’t use it. We have digital answering from our cable provider.
Here are some of the specs from the manufacturer:
- DECT 6.0 Digital technology provides the best sound quality, security and range in cordless phones
- Expandable up to 12 handsets using only one phone jack–uses LS6204 accessory handsets
- Connects to Bluetooth® cell phones
- Touch controls on handset and base
- Large reverse LCD with white backlighting
- Handset and base speakerphone
