VTech announced the availability of the LS5145, a new 5.8 GHz Digital Spread Spectrum expandable cordless phone system that comes with the addition of Bluetooth wireless capabilities. The LS5145 is the first VTech phone system capable of making and receiving both cellular and landline calls using this Bluetooth connectivity feature.

Engineered with an ultra-modern design, the new VTech LS5145 represents the next generation of the popular and award-winning i5871, which introduced a new standard for cordless phone design in 2005. LS5145 offers a high-resolution, full-color display and a vibrant blue backlit keypad for easy viewing.

Thanks to user-friendly Bluetooth technology, the LS5145 can receive both landline and cellular calls on the handset, with the sound quality and convenience of a landline system.

The cordless phone system can be paired with up to eight Bluetooth devices, enabling users to conveniently make and answer calls from any member of the family's cellular phone. Taking a cellular call on the system enables users to roam throughout the house with peace-of-mind. The LS5145 also enables users to make and receive traditional landline calls with a Bluetooth headset for hands-free conversations.

In addition to Bluetooth capabilities, the LS5145 also provides a combination of images and animations for assigning wallpaper and the ability to record ring tones directly from any type of stereo equipment. The phone system is expandable with up to 12 handsets using the LS5105 accessory handsets, which can be placed anywhere in the house from a single phone jack at the base station.
