Beaverton, Ore. – VTech Communications, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of VTech Holdings Ltd. (HKSE: 303; ADR: VTKHY) and the largest U.S. cordless phone manufacturer, today introduced an all-in-one, complete home communication system that combines VTech’s new DECT 6.0 cordless headset, a base unit and two cordless handsets – all for under US$100. With push-to-talk intercom and hands-free talking capabilities, the LS6375-3 package provides fast and convenient communication for any household or small office.
Thanks to DECT 6.0 technology, home phones provide the best option for clear, reliable communication, delivering peace-of-mind against dropped calls and unreliable reception. The new LS6375-3 package (MSRP: US$99.95) comes with a number of special features to improve the consumer’s experience and features VTech’s cordless headset, the IS6100, for convenient, hands-free conversations while cooking, working, cleaning or doing other projects. With the added mobility of the cordless headset, it’s easy to manage household chores, kids’ homework or office deadlines while on calls.
VTech’s LS6375-3 also features push-to-talk (PTT) functionality, which is ideal for home-based businesses, small offices and larger families. Push-to-Talk enables instant voice delivery through the handset speakerphone, allowing users to make announcements or easily have one-to-one conversations with someone in another room. For further flexibility, the LS6375-3 is expandable with up to four handsets and one headset (using the LS6305 accessory handset, sold separately for US$19.95).
Though priced under US$100, LS6375-3 users don’t have to sacrifice stylish design for affordability. The system incorporates a low-profile handset keypad and chrome finishing with high-gloss black detailing. The thin, curved handsets also include a speakerphone and blue backlit LCDs for easy viewing.
“Landline phones are the best choice when you’re looking to have quality conversations, and they offer great features for people managing hectic schedules and juggling multiple responsibilities,” said Matt Ramage, senior vice president, product management, VTech Communications, Inc.
“The LS6375-3 blends clear, high-quality communication with great features for hands-free conversations and intercom capabilities – it’s an affordable solution for today’s fast-paced families and home-based business.”
