Customer Reviews

VTech IS6610 Is Amazing, Worth Every Penny...
Ok, when I first got this everything pretty much was straight forward. Install the software, plug in the stuff, and a few other simple things. One thing I wish I would've known was my computer can't be signed on to messenger if I want to use it on the phone. One thing I really liked about the phone was the keypad, it was very simple and the buttons were comfortable, but still something to get used to. One other great thing is the talk option of when you're on AIM. Other than the part where the computer has to be signed off in order for it to work on the phone, this is all in all a great product.

Texting Capable land line!
I purchased this on a whim for my home office. While it has nice texting capabilities, it does not produce the best sound quality for calls. I have used this with and without a headset. Don't bother using a headset with it, unless you have no qualms about hearing "huh" repeatedly! Terrible sound quality. Overpriced for the quality. Texting from land line is nice while I'm working on the computer for my corporation, but other than that, I would only purchase this for a cool gadget you can tell others "hey, look...this is a land line, it looks like a cell phone and you can actually text from it..." nice conversation piece, but other than that...save your money.

Talk free on International Long Distance
I first bought this phone for my daughter who had moved and needed a new land line. She connected it to her computer and called me through MSN messenger. She talks to me on her phone through the computer and with my headset and microphone speak to her from Kuwait for free.

We have enjoyed it so much that I bought one for my two other children and my twin sister in Texas. It is fantastic! Great clarity, text messaging capable and looks great!
