    The search is OVER!
    After going through 9 phones, all of which were complete failures, except this one! I can finally put away my old, old Uniden cordless phone!My Uniden served me well! Great phone, still works but age has worn it down, like age does to our own bodies. Three number buttons on the Uniden keypad just do not want to work anymore so I had to find a replacement. Had no idea this was going to set me on a long frustrating phone journey! To cut to the chase I saw these Vtech Careline SN6187 online at my local KMART. Sorry Amazon! But this time they beat your price by far! I guess they are cleaning out inventory but I got this system for only 16.00 while supplies last! Can't beat that! So I bought two of them and bought another for my mom who is 93. This phone is A.W.E.S.O.M.E. what more can I say! Set up is easy, sets up on its own really. Check this out, I pick up the pendant this morning and it says, "Good Morning," How awesome is that?! A phone that communicates with you! The best part yet, where all other phones I tried has failed, is you can HEAR out of it! Did I just say that? I didn't think I would ever be able to say that again with these cheap cordless phones they are trying to sell us out there! But here it is, crystal clear, knock on wood! A solid cordless phone, does not feel cheap! The base is solid as well! Can there be improvements? Of course, such as since it is geared towards Seniors the handheld phone could have a slip guard so you can better grip it. The base and the cordless phone/pendant could have a more louder ring. The pendant should have a higher volume on it since many elderly can't hear as well. And who knows, I haven't checked out Vtech's higher pricey Careline phone systems so maybe they did address these issues but as for me I am satisfied! The search is finally over! I only got the phones yesterday and they had to charge overnight so just used the cordless phone this morning on a full charge and listen, in all honesty, these are it people! They may be the last of the good ones so don't hesitate! They are so worth it! We pick up the ones we bought for my mom today, I can't wait to set it all up for her! I am planning to buy the extra handset for sure! I will update later when I have had the phones for awhile! Goodbye faithful Uniden, Hello Vtech Careline!

    I bought this phone for my 87 year old mother. Shes not computer savvy or techy but she was able to hook it up herself. I bought it on Amazon and had sent to her. I did help her with some set up once I visited but she had it up and running after she charged the battery.. But all and all it was quite easy and I didn't even have to read the pamphlet! The phone has many options that you can use if you are more phone savy like date or appointment reminders and speed dials and lots of info you can add. We didn't want to use all of the features because she didn't need those.. I just scrolled around to find what I needed. We wanted a phone that had a good quality sound which this does and its cordless. There is also a setting that you can set up that works best for someones hearing needs. She wears a hearing aid so that was helpful too. She was still using a corded phone! She has a new lease on life and she loves it. She loved the price too! The personal extra safety device is so cool. It really works well too. I can hardly believe how nice this phone is! The safety device can be worn as a lanyard or clipped on. The lanyard is not annoying but my mom chooses to clip it on. Its not huge or bothersome and it can have the same ring tone you choose for the phone or it can have a different ring tone. I set up the personal device with 911 as the number for button one to push in an emergency and my number as button two to push. She couldn't believe how easy it was to set up and kept saying that she had to pay a monthly fee to use the safety device but I told her it was included which it is! Now she does pay a small fee on her home line for 911 but she thought she had to pay $10.00 or $20.00 a month extra so she loved that too. I was very surprised at how well the speaker on the device works because for example if my mom leaves her home, she can take the device with her by carrying, clipping or wearing around her neck and if i call her it will ring and she can answer it by pushing the button and can hear me through the speaker and she can talk to me too. Its quite handy and super nice. The phone looks great too. It really has all the options you can want . But I think the best part is that you can set it up to be very basic or choose to use all the great features. I think the voice mail has either 14 or 17 minutes to record and that was easy to set up and also easy to erase messages too. I noticed there is a youtube video on it as well which is helpful if you're interested. If you're looking for a great phone for yourself or your parent, this one fit all our needs.

    I am very pleased with this wireless landline phone system made for seniors. I bought this for my mom who lives in guest house behind us, she is 83 and I now she has immediate access to phone for help in an emergency with the pendant she wears around her neck. Plus we bought an extra handset so now she also has a phone with large buttons she can easily see and can use the intercom feature to contact us in the main house very easily. I was initially concerned about the wireless signal range since the base is connected in the main house where our VOIP [Vongae] router is connected to internet, and moms house is at least 75 yards away and the signal is going through several walls, some of which are exterior stucco cement. The signal and clarity of calls are very good, no problems at all. I use it connected to internet Vonage line but of course it will work just as well connected to direct land line telephone service. I like that it announces who the caller is because she knows who is calling her before answering. The pendant device is convenient, she can dial pregramed 911 or me on my cell by pressing one button, she can also answer regular phone calls on the pendant if she is outside with it around her neck. Other products and service are available with a pendant that dials an emergency service but those also have a monthly service cost, this is simply a phone with great features for seniors and the only monthly cost is the phone line which we already had anyway. This provides much peace of mind for my mom and our family knowing that if she needs help fast its just the push of a button which is always accessible. The one feature I wish it had was assigned speed dials on the regular handset but its still a great system regardless. I HIGHLY recommend this for anyone wanting fast access to make emergency calls for your loved ones.

    I bought this and the SN6307 (photo speed dial handset) for aging parents to make their use of the phone easier. One of them has problems dialing so the pictures and big buttons on the additional handset are a great idea. He has difficulty understanding who is calling, so the announcing of who is calling is needed as well. And as a fall risk, the pendant is also necessary.

    Here is the problem when you pair the SN6187 with the SN6307- the way the push button handset knows what number to dial when a button is pushed is by entries in the phone book on the base. In the phone book you have to enter in a number and then enter in the name as "Photo X" where X is a number from 1 to 4 corresponding to the button you want on the photo handset. The issue is now when that number calls, rather than being announced as "John" or "Tom", it is announced as "Photo 1" or "Photo 3". Anyone who has an aging parent can understand the confusion that this can cause. The corded base does not have this issue as photo numbers are stored differently and a real name can be applied. Looks like I am going to have to buy that base instead.

    They fix this and they have a great product. Otherwise go with the corded base if you are going to use the photo handset.
