Its another case of "they don't make em like they used to". Our relatively new Vtech phone is falling apart, some of the buttons barely work, it loses contact with its base, and sometimes doesn't charge up. A Panasonic we had before had similar problems. Each time its a couple hundred dollars. Who makes a low-frills reliable W126-like phone?
