REVIEW: vtech DS6322 Cordless Phone System
By Irv Haas
The Review Guru
C
an’t decide if you want to use your cordless
phone system or cell phone at home? Now
you don’t have to with the new vtech DS6222
Cordless Phone System.
This system uses the Bluetooth® capability of your
cell phone and lets you operate this phone system
much like a 2-line phone system. When you make
or receive a call, you have the op-
tion of connect-
ing with just a
simple press of
a button—one
marked Home
and one
marked Cell.
To put in sim-
ply, this system
lets you make
and receive
landline
and cellular
calls on one
device! As
a multiple
handset sys-
tem, you can
place your handsets anywhere in your home with
only one phone jack (for the landline connection, of
course.)
Vtech makes it very easy to download your phone-
book directory from your cell phone, so you don’t
have to manually add it as you would on a standard
phone. Vtech lets you store 6000 directories from
four cell phones, although only two cell phones can
be active at any given time.
Even if you don’t have a landline connection, you
can use this phone system to provide extra handsets
around your house. Instead of trying to  nd the loca-
tion of your cell phone when making/receiving a call,
having multiple handsets is a real bene t.
Features
Besides the Bluetooth™ feature, this phone system
has many standard features normally found on other
models:
lDECT 6.0 technology for
the best sound quality
lAnswering system (14
minutes recording time)
lCaller ID/Call Waiting
(stores 50 calls)
lHandset speakerphone
lBacklit display and
keypad
lExpandable to 12 hand-
sets (do you really need that
many??)
Installation
To add your cell phone, you need to have it next to
the vtech base and put your cell phone in the dis-
covery mode so it can  nd your device. When this
is completed, you can then transfer your contacts
directly to the handsets without manually inputting
that information.
Unfortunately, you still need to manually input the
landline phone contacts.
Pricing
This cordless phone system is priced comparable to
the competition. The pricing varies according to the
number of handsets. The 3-handset system is $99.99
while the 4-handset system is $129.99. Discounts
can be found online. Extra handsets (up to 12) can
be added for $24.95 each.
