VTech has made life easier for teleworkers, home-based businesses and large households with its new LS 6325 Series DECT (News - Alert) 6.0 cordless phones featuring Push-to-Talk (PTT) functionality. A feature previously only offered on walkie-talkies and mobile phones, PTT enables instant voice delivery through the handset speakerphone. No more annoying calls on cell phones or yelling through doors, walls and up and down stairs.

The LS6325 delivers talk range up to 1,500 feet, enabling users to roam throughout the house or office without losing calls. The units support three handsets off one phone jack. For further flexibility, each model in the series is expandable up to five handsets (using the LS6305 accessory handset, sold separately). They are also wall-mountable.

For hands-free conversations, the units’ thin, curved handsets include speakerphones and backlit LCDs for easy viewing. Available in three different product bundles, the three-handset LS6325-3 (MSRP: $79.95) and four-handset LS6325-4 (MSRP: $89.95) will be available at retail outlets in April 2010.

“More consumers are juggling hectic lives that require managing work at home, and everyone needs solutions for faster communications to simply get more things done,” said Matt Ramage, senior vice president, product management, VTech Communications, in a release. “The LS6325 series meets the evolving needs of today’s fast-paced families and small offices with the latest in home communications – and it's been done with style and affordability.”

VTech is making it more affordable than ever for consumers to upgrade outdated landline phones to the latest DECT 6.0 platform. Also new in 2010 and available in the spring, the VTech CS6319 and CS6329 provide clear, interference-free sound quality. They allow users to operate multiple handsets simultaneously, including transferring and conferencing calls between handsets.

Available in a variety of multiple handset bundles, each of the VTech CS phones are expandable with up to five handsets using a single phone jack. Other helpful features include a large, easy-to-read backlit LCD display, a handset speakerphone and a glossy crystal keypad with green backlighting. VTech's CS series phones come with or without digital answering systems and are all affordably priced at under $60.

In addition, new VTech 2010 DECT cordless phones now feature 7-day, 7-hour battery performance. VTech's 2010 DECT phones are ENERGY STAR (News - Alert) certified and RoHS compliant.  VTech phone packaging also uses 100-percent recyclable materials and feature FDA-approved aqueous coating that eliminates hazardous chemicals.
