Steakgoddess Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I am looking for a good deal on a multi handset phone system to use with my Sunrocket Service. I would like to have a digital answering machine with the phone and my budget is about $100. Also, tips on brands to avoid would be helpful. Thanks!

Gurnee Al Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I bought a V-tech set last year after I signed up with Vonage. It was on sale at Best Buy at the time. The base station with 2 phones were slightly over $100 (with Digital Answering machine). I later added a third phone for another $40. It has worked perfectly for me for the last several months. I think my specific model is now discontinued, but if you're on a tight budget, you may want to look at V-tech. When I was shopping for a set, they appeared to be a little less expensive than the other popular brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazerith75 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 You might want to check Target, I am almost positive I saw a phone system there with the base phone and 2 extra phones for around $80, I don't remember the brand or specs on it I was being dragged out of Target by my husband at the time so I didn't get to really check it out. It wasn't on the endcap it was with the other phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetThomas1 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I have a 3 handset VTech system that I purchased on Black Friday. It doesn't have the answering machine because I didn't need it but I really love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alimfp Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 We have a two handset system made by Panasonic. We got it at Circuit City a year ago for around $120. It has digital answering machine, two handsets as I said, speakerphone on both phones, caller ID, etc. etc. etc. It's really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USC Becca Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 What about this one at Circuit City? The base has an answering machine and it comes with a second handset, all for $29.94 ARhttp://akimages.crossmediaservices.com/dyn_li/200.0.88.0/Retailers/Staples/060423_S0071788.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like mine and the price is definitely right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steakgoddess Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 Thanks for all the suggestions. I am going to check out that one at the CC store, Got to make sure it feels right in my hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frieked Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I don't know if this matters to you, but when I got my dual handset I was expecting you could use both handsets at the same time. Not true for most of the cheaper ones, you can only use one handset at a time. Just something to look into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on Dh's short list of things and I forgot about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mf47960 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I just bought the phone shown above from Staples and had it delivered for free because after I added one more small item it was over $50 so I received free shipping and then there is a $20 rebate so the phone will only cost $30. I hooked it up last night to let it charged but it seemed pretty nice to me for the price. I had to buy a new phone because my darling little daugther left ours out in the hail/rain storm we had last weekend!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USC Becca Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 if you sign up for a free Staples Rewards card shipping is *always* free, if you only order one of those $0.69 items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alimfp Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 FWIW, the Panasonic set we bought - you can use both handsets at the same time. DH and I found that out Sunday when we were both on a call together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
