Your Mama Loves her VTech Cordless Phone

Landlines still exist? Seriously?

That’s what I hear when I talk about my landline. Ours is practically free with our TV and Internet, and because we moved and my husband still works in a different city, we both have “long distance” area codes on our cell phones. Even with Google Voice making things easier, it just makes sense to have a landline I can give my son’s school or my landlords who refuse to call long distance.

Last week it also came in handy when my cell phone dropped a business conference call six times. I picked up my landline and enjoyed an uninterrupted call for the rest of the duration.

And? It sounded beautiful thanks to the first new cordless phone we’ve used since 2001. (I’m not even joking that our old phone was that old.) Vtech send me a LS6245 cordless phone system to test out as part of their Valentine’s Day promotions. A phone for Valentine’s Day? That sounded a little farfetched to me until I totally fell in love with this phone.

Dude, you can listen to your messages from the handset. Also? You can make and receive cell calls from the handset. It has about a million other features so I’ll let you check them out for yourself at Vtechphones.com.

For me, the best part was the range. Our boys aren’t old enough for phone time yet, so we don’t have need for the ability for the base to use oodles of handsets. For me, the important thing is being able to run across the house to wipe a butt or stop a wrestling match without the line becoming static-filled and impossible to hear.

Let me illustrate:Due to some lapse in judgment, the only phone jack in our entire house is in the closet-sized office attached to the garage-turned-addition. So yeah. Nowhere near where I’m usually at the rest of the day. And since we’re renting, I can’t do anything about it.

Except for use an awesome phone, apparently.
