VTech i5687 phone clicking sounds
My old phone became handicapped a while back due to some wreckless behavior around the house. After a few months, I had finally replaced it with a VTech i5687 5.8 GHz Digital Spread Spectrum Expandable Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System and Color LCD Handset (Model 5867). Isn’t that a mouthful? My old phone was an analog phone with speakerphone capability and caller id display.
So here are some of the features of my new phone.
- Speakerphone - on the handset
- Cordless
- Digital Answering machine
- Custom Ringtones
- Color LCD Handset
- Custom Pictures uploaded via USB
- Uses 2 AA rechargable batteries
So all of this is cool and stuff, but everyone including myself can hear clicking sounds. For a while I figured that maybe the wires in my house were not setup rite. My sister came to visit the other day and pointed out that her friend had the same exact phone and asked me if I had clicking sounds.
If she knew about it, there must be tons of people with the same problem. Sure enough a simple search on Google returned many similar stories. It turns out that the answering machine makes the clicking sound after a couple of weeks. So … don’t buy from VTech. They are cheap, but so is the quality.
