content: I own this system and have owned VTECH phones in the past - this will be my last. Sometimes the phones connect; sometimes they don't - seems to be their choice. I also have an (older) Panasonic system in the house which works great all the time. CAVEAT EMPTOR - you get what you pay for here - poor quality and spotty connections. On the plus side: when they do connect, the sound and voice quality are excellent and when operating, the battery life does seem long.
