Vtech VT 1920 900 MHz - Cordless Phone

Pros: love all the features!
Cons: small handset

I have to start by saying, I just love this phone! It's just the best we've ever had. I've still got an old dinosaur AT&T phone from when they first came out with cordless phones, and it still works, even w/o ever changing the battery!! But, alas,...

Pros: small, had a detachable belt clip, can be charged so the face is toward the outside
Cons: polarized screen that is hard to see with sunglasses on

While I was pregnant with our third child I decided I wanted a cordless phone that had caller I.D. capabilities built in. I figured that with it, I would have more freedom. The kids and I could be outside playing, and I would only have to take the call...

Pros: Price, range and battery life
Cons: cannot program numbers alphanumerically

We bought this phone because our other non-digital cordless phone was interfering with our baby monitor (Yes, I still use one during nap time even though my son is three). The clarity of this 900MHz cordless is superior to any other phone we’ve ever...

Pros: a competent performer at its basic job
Cons: minor but consistent problems that prove annoying

Summary: The VTech VT1920 consistently carries out its basic task of making cordless phone calls. However, some minor problems occur again and again, making this phone annoying to use. Why should I have to avoid a phone in my own house?
...

Pros: 900MHz transmission, cheap
Cons: A few minor design problem

I got this phone because my other non-digital cordless phone was interfering with my monitor. The 900MHz transmission is superior to any other phone I've ever heard, digital or otherwise, and this particular phone is priced at the level most non-digital...

Pros: Inexpensive. Has Caller ID on handset
Cons: Must buy 2nd battery, if you want one

Previous cordless phones owned by my family were much costlier than my VTech 1920c model. Boy, did I feel terrible when the other cordless phones died untimely deaths... it made me afraid to spend more 'big dollars' on a good cordless phone. I liked the...

Pros: Great Features, Low Price
Cons: None at all!

We purchased this phone when lightening ran in on all our phones and we had to replace them all. We wanted a cordless with most features, without it costing us an arm and leg. We went to Wal-Mart to shop and this was the cheapest one they had with all...

Pros: backlit keypad, belt clip, clear sound
Cons: small LCD screen

I really like this phone...it is my favorite of all that I have owned. I will even try to avoid using other phones in my house b/c I like this one so much better. I have used this phone as a gift several times and I know several people that have the same...

Pros: lots of functions
Cons: short range, whole lot of static, frustrating

This opinion is written on the VT 1930c... not the Vt 1920... there wasn't a category for my phone, so I'm shoving it in here.

WARNING, DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!

I went to best buy and picked out this phone. Saw the brand name...

Pros: Good features, decent looks
Cons: Call clarity is horrible (for us)

This was the second 900mhz phone that our household purchased and right away we noticed the sound quality was lacking. We purchased it mainly for the Caller ID features and 900mhz was a must for clarity as well.

While the features (mainly the...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nil

I have gone through many 900MhZ cordless phones in the past. Mainly Sony phones and also Panasonic phones. They always broke down too quickly and had large amounts of static. Finally after our Panasonic cordless broke down for good, we went to Best Buy....

Pros: Caller ID on handset
Cons: Cuts out, searches for channels during conversation, no channel button

I purchased the VTech 1920C in January 2000, and I have not had the great exerience with it that most of the other Epinioners have had.

I find the phone is uncomfortable to hold with your hand, and almost impossible to hold with your...

Pros: Medium-Light, Good Clarity, User Friendly
Cons: (Minor) Can't Move Call From CID To Permanent Memory

Well, you may have read my experience with the Sony SPP-S9101, and I purchased this phone on 4/29/2000 based on the favorable recommendations here at Epinions.

I was originally interested in the 1922 version which has a headset jack, but most...

Pros: Built in caller Id, 900 MHz, light weight sleek design ,digital, cordless phone, Press any button to answer a call
Cons: I would prefer the handset a little longer

When my husband and I decided we wanted a new phone for upstairs we looked at many designs with many features. This one had the most features for the lowest price. We paid $50.00 for this phone at BJ's Wholesale. (We even got a $20 rebate on it) We...

Pros: good sound, quality caller ID, good memory
Cons: breaks up a bit when you move far away from the base

This phone has its ups and downs, like most things you will buy in life. I've had it for about 2 years now and all things considered, I would have to say I got a good deal. I bought it for roughly $100 from a local Wiz store.

There is a good...

Pros: Caller ID built it
Cons: Many,many irritating things, ranging from key sticking to weak paging

I never usually feel lukewarm about a product, but this one is pretty good and grates my nerves at the same time!

THE GOOD

* Backlit LCD screen
* Up to 50 number caller ID built in
* Adjustable Volume (well, I...

Pros: excellent quality and feature set
Cons: flimsy antenna

I bought a VTech 1920c 900mhz spread-spectrum cordless phone at Best Buy for $70 last spring. It was a loss leader, and I had to dig around the phone display to find the last one tucked way in the back.

I won't speak into a traditional low...

Pros: Stylish design, clear reception, easy to use, good price
Cons: might make your friends jealous of you

The 900MHz VTech VT1920 phone Rocks in just about every way. Not only is it the coolest looking phone around (it made a cameo in the movie Fight Club by the way but it also works really well too. The 900MHz allows for excellent reception and range and...

Pros: excellent performance, solid construction
Cons: volume control doesn't allow for much adjustment

We recently bought a new phone to replace my "ancient" AT&T cordless. The two main features we really wanted were caller ID on the handset and 900 MHz. While those two criteria didn't reduce the amount of phones to choose from our...

Pros: Cheap, features, solid
Cons: Little picky faults, just annoying little things

We needed to replace our cordless phone because the display was dying. I searched around and found the 1920 on sale, with an additional rebate of $20, making the end cost $40. A call-waiting ID phone for $40 couldn't lose me too much.

The...

Pros: A lot of features. Good price
Cons: No channel changing button, keypad sometimes gets stuck

I purchased this phone on sale for the reasonable price of about $80.00. For the most part it is a great phone! It has a caller ID screen that holds a large amount of calls. It has the pager button so that you may locate your phone when it is hidden...

Pros: lots of features, decent price
Cons: poor reception, short charge life, buttons don't work for long

I've had the 1920c VTech cordless phone for approximately 3 years, at this point the only thing it is good for is caller ID!

When we first bought the phone about 3 years ago, we paid approximately $100.00 and it was the top of the line (back...

Pros: lots of features, clear sound, quality feel, back-up battery
Cons: none

Knowing that cordless phones are one of the top ten electronic products most returned by consumers, I wasn't looking forward to finding a new one!

I did some research and bought the 1920c for $69.99 at Best Buy. I've had the phone for 10...

Pros: small
Cons: none

This phone is yes, a very non-expensive phone but i believe it to be the best cordless phone i have had ever. It is very small and sleek that i can bring all around my dorm room and hallway at college. It has very good reception overall. The only...

Pros: Great reception, caller ID, price
Cons: a little small

I have had a cordless phone for a long time now and I find them very usefull, especially since I have been in college. Recently, my suitemate was given this VTECH phone and after using it only a few times, I knew it was what I wanted.

I had...

Pros: Distance, clarity, long lasting battery
Cons: Haven't figured out all the options

I started with the VTech 900 mhz 910 ADL. It went the distance with no static or interferance with a long lasting battery. I decided I needed a cordless with the caller ID instead of running to the box to look up who was calling. I tried 2 other...

Pros: Great reception, easy to operate, affordable.
Cons: Storing phone numbers you have to use a number not the name.

I purchased this telephone the Vtech cordless with caller ID, model #1920c over 2 years ago. And I just love it. My husband learned about these phones from where he worked. They used them all the time. Their employees were outside a lot and these...

Pros: built in caller ID, affordable
Cons: annoying shape and size, uncomfortable, bad sound, bad volume

This phone is known around my household as "the potato" and the "bad" phone. My husband and I refer to it that way because - and I could care less about its technological features - this is the most uncomfortable phone ever sold! The designers at VTech...

Pros: many features, easy to use
Cons: handset slightly heavy; not the greatest shape in the world

This is a great phone, and you can get it for less than the price quoted here. We needed a new cordless phone (my old one was a panasonic that live d through MUCH abuse), and my husband wanted one with caller id. We, being couch potatoes, hate to move...

Pros: great basic cordless, good price
Cons: cheap headset

I couldn't help it, before I knew it, I had done it again. You see, I have a problem. I destroy cordless phones. I don't mean to. . .I'm not even aware of it until it's over and the evidence is there before me. It has gotten so bad that I not only...

Pros: durable,caller id,clear
Cons: not big enough to hold on shoulder

I have to say at first I didnt like this phone b/c its not easy to hold on your shoulder if you are busy with two hands tied up. Now that I have gotten used to it I like it. Its very clear, has automatic channel surfing, caller id, redial, memory dial,...

Pros: Virtually no static, great features, belt clip, easy to read numbers
Cons: static when used outside, as if that's not expected, not really any others

Well my old cordless phone got to the point where I could not stand to look at it anymore, so I decided to get a new one. I have went with brand such as GE and Bell South and have now learned to stray away from those. So I decided to go with a V Tech...

Pros: Looks, Battery Life, holds 50 caller ids,price, reception
Cons: Caller ID, No speaker phone, Distance reception

This phone is great. I bought it almost two years ago and it still works fine. It is extremely cheap also, around 30 dollars. Some of the positives of this phone are its looks, batter life and reception. First it is great looking phone It is clean and...

Pros: Caller ID works FABULOUSLY!
Cons: It has to, because it is difficult to identify the caller by voice.

After purchasing a less expensive Vtech model and returning it twice, I decided to try this more expensive model, hoping that it wouldn't disappoint me as the other had. Still, this more expensive model had the same problems that the less expensive one...

Pros: easy to use, backlit display, speed-dial storage, paging feature to locate phone
Cons: headset not included

I was tired of being bound to the handset receiver of my old telephone, so I started to look for a cordless one on-line. After having searched for a while, I came across the Vtech 1920, which Staples sold for $40 which you can still get $20 back from...

Pros: Good features
Cons: Cuts out. It broke.

My phone is actually a VT1921, which doesn't appear on the epinions list, but it seems to be identical to the VT1920.

We got the phone in January because of the headphone set and voicemail indicator. Within a few weeks the catch that the...

Pros: inexpensive
Cons: hard to hold on shoulder and talk

We recently switched our phone service and needed a digital phone that was compatible with MediaOne phone service. I searched for the best deal and found a Vtech 1920c for $49 with a $20 rebate, making it very affordable. The reception is great!...

Pros: Inexpensive, high quality
Cons: heavy handset

I moved into a new place and my phone service included caller ID, and I didn't have a ID box, so I figured I might as well pick up the whole shootin' match and I bought this phone. I paid $79.99 and there was a $20 rebate, making it pretty reasonable....

Pros: Caller ID
Cons: none

This phone is one of the greatest phones that I've ever used. The phone has the wonderful caller ID feature that I've really grown to like. The other feature that I like is how reliable the capabilities of the phone to perform with the utmost reliability...

Pros: Style, Clarity, spare battery charger, Weight, Caller ID screen
Cons: No channel button

I got this phone a while ago, along with 4 other 900 Mhz phones, figuring I'd test them and keep only the one I liked. I hoped I wouldn't be biased by the fact that I loved the way the VTech looked, and could already see it matching my room perfectly....

Pros: Tons of features offered on phone
Cons: None

I have had my VTECH phone now for almost a year, and I have had virtually no problems with this fantastic phone. I have enjoyed the fact that it had Caller Id built into the face of the phone and how it has so many memory number slots for frequently...

Pros: LCD display
Cons: too heavy, not reliable

I bought a VTech phone (VT 1920C) last year. Three months after I bought it broke with no apparent reasons. I was not able to get a dial tone when I press the talk button on the phone. I do not recommend VT 1920C to anyone. It is also very heavy and big...

Pros: Inexpensive and reliable
Cons: Only comes in black

Cons: doesn't last

UPDATE:(December 2000)

Cons: None that I have found yet!!

Where is the listing for the Vtech VT1920?? This one has caller ID, call waiting, and more in the hand set. No more running to the base to see who is calling. Just take the phone with you and everything is right there. The extras on this one are...

Pros: Call Waiting/Caller ID, 20 number speed dial
Cons: Can get staticy very easily sometimes.

The V-Tech VT1920 900 Megahertz cordless phone is the best buy on the market right now!
After having several 900 Megahertz phones offering the same features, I love this one the best! It gives you Call Waiting/Caller ID with the capability to store...

Pros: Good price, easy to read screen, headset incl
Cons: Headset hard to hear from

After researching and comparing other cordless phones that have Caller-ID I bought the VTech 1921 (it is red). Not only is it an attractive phone but it is very easy to use. The screen is easy to read especially because it lights up anytime you press a...

Pros: Good price ($50) for cordless with Caller ID
Cons: Uncomfortable to use; poor sound quality

This phone did quite well in various product reviews. However, I was disappointed and returned it after a week. First, I found the handset uncomfortable to hold against my ear. Second, even though I charged the battery as was directed, in just the...

Pros: caller ID, long battery life, great reception
Cons: none

A couple of years ago, I had to replace yet another one of my dumb stupid cordless phones. I had never had a VTech. I kept buying these big expensive cordless phone with all the great features.

So I went out and I saw a VTech 1920c. It...

Pros: Good features and range
Cons: Cutting out and poor body design

This phone has been released in two forms one of which comes in 3 different colors: blue,red,grey. The other form comes in black. The other difference is the colored ones have a headset jack while the black ones don't. From my experience with the...

Pros: Price, Performance, Great Consumer Reports Rating
Cons: None yet

I have owned 4 cordless phones in the past 7 years. 2 At&T's, 1 Sony, and 2 non name brands. I have had the most problems with the AT&T's. AT&T has repaired 1 of the 2 phones twice, and for a high price($55). The Sony did not perform well...

Pros: Good range
Cons: belt clip is poor design

We purchased the 1920c because my wife was temporarily working out of the house. The clarity and range was such that she was able to stay in contact with her office while doing daily chores (shopping, gardening, etc.). The headset was comfortable, the...

Pros: ALL GREAT
Cons: nnnnnoooooooonnnneeeeee

OK, WELL to start off, this phone has got to be thE best-est phone my family has used, we have 2 of these phones as of right now, i own a see through blue one, and the family has a see through red one, and i also have another v-tech, but anyhow this...

Pros: Multiple features
Cons: Must remove phone from ear for Call Waiting/Caller ID to be visible

Being a real novice when it comes to electronics, I needed a basic piece of equipment that could meet all my needs with the minimum amount of complications. I found it here! I am able to roam about aimlessly without the concern or interference often...

Pros: features,reception,caller id
Cons: Does NOT dial phone #'s from caller id display properly.

I purchased this approximately 6 years ago and it has been dropped, fallen into water and carried to a house next door to mine and the reception is great.

This is one of the best phones I've ever owned! You can turn up the volume or lower it. The battery seems to last forever! The range is excellent and the features are great. I own 2 of them. The price is right and you get a terrific product.
