Cingular Go Phone: VTech IP811 5.8 GHz Expansion Handset for IP8100-2 Broadband Telephone System Review

We were tired of our cheaper cordless phones not working well or the specific battery was too hard to find and replace, so went for a more expensive and higher GHz model and chose the Vtech (bought the two handset pack).Worked really well for about a year (NYC prewar building), good reception, great range, no interference, nice features, loved the ability to easily replace the rechargeable AAA batteries.

Then one of the hand sets slowly started to die.Bad reception regardless of battery life or quality, screen started to go a few pixels at a time, finally threw it out and went with one handset.Now about two and a half years later I'm shopping for a new cordless phone as the other handset is going the same way...rings only once....bad static....cuts out....pixels on the screen about half gone now.

Loved them while they worked...just didn't last with moderate use.
