Probably my 4th VTech phone. Was having wireless LAN interference trouble with my other Vtech, so even though it still worked fine, I upgraded to this one. The best feature is the common phoneboook. Enter a number in one phone and its available in the others. Reception is great, and due to the frequency, no more LAN troubles. The only down side is the size of the buttons, a bit small for me.

Has good reception, small and lightweight. Was looking for better speed dial features. Awkward in that department. Don't think I'll bother to buy extra handsets. Will probably relagate to an upstairs bedroom and look for one with better speed features for the kitchen.

I have been very pleased with this item since purchasing it from Amazon.com. I am presently looking for 2 add on phones of the same model to extend the use of this multi-system unit.

The base unit works great. I really like all the features. It was very easy to set up the two handsets. I especially like the intercom feature, it allows me to talk to my wift at the other end of our mobilehome without yelling.

I've been researching this unit for some time, reading mixed reviews and also comparing it to similar brands. Well, my son suggested that I go on ahead and buy the unit -- if it doesn't work, send it back. So I got it and can only say good things about this phone. Also purchased 2 of the mi6820 (additional handsets) for that expandable/wireless affect. Reception and clarity is great - no static. I've taken the phone outside and walked the entire 100x100 feet of our home and didn't receive not so much as a blip of static.
Love the options on the phone i.e., changing ring tones for each phone, intercom, transferring phone calls from handset to handset, ability to share phone books, caller ids and editing those items having it affect all 3 handsets at once. I think it would be nice if you could hit the Redial button and make a call from any of the handsets not just the handset you originally made the call from. I guess I'm looking for some sort of multi-redial feature. Not a big deal. Also would be very nice to have the phone pager built into the mi6820. With the belt clip V-Tech provides, my husband and son have a habit of taking the phones wherever then we have a grand time of playing the Secret Squirrel game -- trying to locate the darn thing :) The mi6861 does have the phone pager built within the unit. Enjoying the answering machine options on the mi6861 i.e., multi-mail box feature. We created a simple message and we all seem to be receiving messages quite well. The unit is quite easy to operate and skipping through and deleting messages one at a time or all at once is easy.
All in all - nice little phone for the money
