    Setting up your system just got easier. Talking prompts walk you through the setup of your new phone’s digital answering system, so you can be confident it’s ready to record.
  • Caller ID announce
    Screening calls has never been easier. The handset and base announce the name of the caller, so you don’t have to scramble for the handset to see who’s calling.
  • Visual ringing indicator
    A light on the top of the handset and base unit flashes when the telephone rings, signaling an incoming call. This feature is especially helpful for those who are hearing impaired.
  • Expandable up to 4 handsets with only one phone jack

  • Line power mode
    Make and receive calls using the corded handset and base keypad during an outage. This system uses power generated from the telephone line so backup batteries are not necessary.
  • Caller ID/call waiting—50 name and number caller ID history

  1. Robynsbox

    Works well for my wearing and visual impaired mother , easy to see numbers and easy to set up

  2. Tmbm10

    Got for my mom who has Alzheimer’s and forgets how to use the phone. I had to purchase this phone which I was unaware there are actually 2 phones that came together and I purchased the add on phone for the picture dialing which is easiest for mom. I really don’t like having 3 phones hooked when I only need the one but it works for her so far. The phone talks when dishing or getting a call but the voice is VERY loud which is annoying and I have yet to figure out how to adjust it. The ringer is easy to adjust but no setting for the talk back mode. Other than that it’s working great and would recommend to others!

  3. Jerry

    We made this purchase for the amplified hearing and it works very well in this regard. What was not clear was that the purchase came with a base unit as well as the portable unit. We bought an additional portable unit and may not have needed it. My only criticism is that the description of the product should be more accurate.

  4. Product

    Best Buy is showing the incorrect product as the SN5147 has two units and additional picture slots. The picture shown is for the SN5127 model which I had to do my own research to find out. They now have charged me twice for the wrong units and I now have to return them as they don’t seem to understand what I am explaining.

  5. Gldngrl

    Purchased as a gift for elderly relative. The positive is that the volume can be turned up louder than most phones and that it works with a hearing aid. The only negative is that the phone can be too complicated for some elderly people. I think a simple design would be better for many seniors. I think too many options can complicate the phone. Also this product has one corded phone and one cordless phone. The cordless does not have the memory buttons with pictures just the m1, m2, m3 m4 with no place to label. (picture option for pre-programming numbers for speed dial)

  6. TMurphy

    After reading the other reviews I knew I was not getting the phone that was pictured. I did receive a base phone and a separate cordless phone. The phone does the big buttons and ability to place pics but it is very small. For this phone geared towards elderly, dementia, etc it is very difficult to maneuver. The menu is on the portable phone. To clear caller log or to change a setting you have to scroll down, select, then choose etc. If the person is tech savvy then its not a problem. Its very complicated for something that should be simpler. The sound is good and they can hear much clearer.

  7. mary

    This phone has helped my elderly mother hear the phone as well as being able to see the numbers.

  8. Anjl54

    It’s a nice model. Vtech is my favorite home phone. It’s easy to use,loud enough, cell phone compatible, VOIPs well s landline compatible

  9. veryhappy

    I needed something to hear better this phone does the trick reason for 4 stars is hand phone on some calls fades in and out not always but sometimes.

  10. new2bestbuy

    Love the features available to this unit. In this time of phone scams, unknown numbers, robo calls; this is a very useful tool to bypass those threats, especially for seniors. The announcement feature of caller i.d. and phone book names is very helpful on the base and the separate portable unit.

  11. BlahBlahBlah

    For our 95 year old, this was perfect. I don’t have time

  12. MassageGunrelief

    This is a great phone for my 85 year old mother, and she loves all of the features it offers.

  13. Lucylou1

    I purchased this phone for my mother who is 89, hard of hearing and has loss of eyesight. It did take me a while to program. I had to watch a you tube video as instructions weren’t that great. That’s the reason for 4 stars. Buttons are nice and big, and volume can be set very high. I think she will have trouble playing back answering machine until she memorizes those buttons as they are small. I wish cards were included to wright names on and place where pictures would go. I used hot pink sticky notes. I placed the handset by her chair and purchased an additional handset and placed by her bed.

  14. LULU

    Over the years both my spouse and myself were having increasing difficulty hearing or understanding our callers . This phone has been of much help to us with those issue while still allowing us to also have the most modern conveniences at our finger tips. It is versatile in that it allows us to make adjustments to the audio in accordance with our caller’s voices. It is well priced, too making it a good buy!

  15. Kendrick

    Maybe I got the wrong one; but I had issues with it from the start and had to return it.

  16. LDFS

    Great landline phone. It has the loud volume I needed for a family member who is hard of hearing. Love the auto dial you can put in for the most frequently used numbers. The flashing light when it rings helps a person to see it even if they can’t hear it ringing. Great phone.

  17. Chris

    This phone was miles ahead of my grandma’s older phone. She was super happy with the handset and not having to get up to answer the phone. She probably won’t use most of the fancy features but I was amazed at what a landline phone can do these days. The volume is deafening for us younger folk but the customization was awesome. Highly recommend for your elderly love ones

  18. Wolfman

    This phone is outstanding. My mother-in-law who is 80 can see it and hear it much better than what she had previously.

  19. Emitart

    I was told the phone had a record button. My brother has a 90%hearing loss. Someone told him a record feature so that if he wasn’t hearing what was said, he could hit record & listen to it over & over until he got it. When I called to see if it had this feature, I was told it would record. It does, but only on the answering machine.not

  20. Bobbyflo

    This VTech – Amplified Corded/Cordless Answering System with Big Buttons Display Was A Gift For My Mom And She Loves It

  21. MBdriver

    It was good but my aunt hearing aid could not handle it.

  22. Cheryl

    Caller ID is announced on base unit and handset. Large numbers on both units.

  23. JudyS

    Got it for 90 yr old mother who has bad arthritis. Works well

  24. timpe

    It’s a very good phone I need someone to help me set it up.

  25. user796987

    Great for individuals with mild to significantly hearing loss.

  26. user682455

    Very happy with phone. My mother is hard of hearing. She can hear with the phone and the large buttons make it easy to dial.

  27. user972019

    Perfect for our parents. Big buttons when their sight is failing.

  28. JohnS

    Overall, this system works for my 93 year old mother. The larger button display is a plus.

  29. mikepags

    I like that the phone is amplified but the programming of the phone is somewhat confusing. It is difficult for older people who don’t have experience with the new tech. But the phone is worth the amplified sound alone.

  30. LisaS

    It is a nice phone bought it for my dad who is hearing impaired.
