VTech
VTech are a company with a particular interest in cordless technology. We have accredited 2 of their phones, the VSP726A and the VSP608A.
With Vtech you get a lot of features for your money. Both phones have DECT built in (for different reasons which will be explained below).
However, Vtech have now stopped selling phones so they are no longer supported. They may still work, but we cannot guarantee this.
VSP726A
This is a good entry level phone which competes well with a Polycom VVX 201. Whilst the Polycom has slightly better audio quality, the VSP726A has more features which include built in DECT and busy line indicators.
This phone can be paired with a VSP500A (cordless headset) or VSP601A (cordless handset). As the phone has built in DECT, this makes this phone, when paired with a VSP500A, the simplest and most cost effective solution to get a DECT headset on your desk.
If you know the admin password
To factory reset this phone you will first need the admin password. This is found within the babblevoice Console.
- Log into the babblevoice Console, and go to the "Devices" tab.
- Find the phone you are wanted to reset.
- Select the phone, and press "Edit" or double click the phone.
- Find the "Vtech" tab.
- Find the section which says "Admin Password"
On the phone itself: 1. Select the Menu button. 2. Then using the "Select" button, go to Admin Settings. 3. Enter the password you found in the steps above. 4. Scroll down to Reset to Default, and press "Select" 5. Press the Yes soft key to confirm the factory reset.
If you do not know the admin password
Note - this only works if you are using an AC adapter. 1. Plug the AC adapter into the phone and allow it to boot up completely. 2. Within 5 minutes of the device booting up, enter ***3332858#. 3. The "Message Waiting" indicator will flash if entered successfully, and the device will factory reset.
VSP608A
The VSP608A is the only business desk phone on the market (that we have found) which is DECT based phone. Unlike the VSP726A which has DECT built in so that you can have a DECT headset or a handset paired with your phone, the VSP608 uses it's built in DECT to connect to a DECT base station. This makes this phone a solution for rooms or locations in the office where a network point is not available.
There are phones available which use Wifi to connect, however DECT has much better range and suffers less with quality problems.
This phone requires a DECT base station to work (VSP610A). The VSP610A plugs directly into your network and is usually powered by PoE (power from the network). Our main gripe with this phone is you cannot pair a DECT headset with it.
VSP610A
The VSP610A is a good little walk about phone. There are always occasions when you have staff which move around the office. This DECT basestation and handset is one of the few with a transfer button as well. When you purchase a VSP610A you get 1 handset with it also. Each base station can support up to 4 phones.
Provisioning a VTech phone with babblevoice
Provisioning a VTech phone is now even easier, these phones have received babblevoice Full Accreditation + ZTP - which means you can configure from the babblevoice console without even touching the phone. See Zero Touch Provisioning for more information.
