Avoid vtech and AT&T

Comment:
I purchased this phone with five handsets. It has dropped every incoming call after about one minute. Also, one of the remote chargers didn't work. I called vtech support, and they told me they were out of stock on the charger, but if I wanted to escalate the problem they would do so...and I should call back in six to eight weeks to restart the process. They wouldn't even keep the process going for the length of time it took them to restock the defective part they sold me!<br /><br />After finding out that AT&T cordless phones are made by vtech, I recommend avoiding both companies' phones.
