Pros: Excellent Range
Mailbox Options
Headset available
Cons: Caller ID (rarely) misses a phone number
The Bottom Line: Look at all the features and the price. Don't be tempted by other 2.4 phones on sale, this is worth every penny!

| consumertalks's Full Review: Vtech VT 2461 2.4 GHz 1-Line Cordless Phone |
I've got a VTech VT2461 2.4 w/Digital Answering Machine. There are 3 different "voicemail" boxes, just tell people to hit 1, 2, or 3, and each box has it's OWN password. Handy for roommates or if you have an ad in the paper.
I bought it for $130 at Best Buy, then took it back when I got it for $90 on eBay. That was just over a year ago, and it works great. I picked up an extra battery ($9) on eBay too (which charges in the base unit 'til you need it), as well as a headset adapter ($8). Now *that* is handy if you're on hold. Forget about speakerphone, put the phone on your belt and unload the dishwasher! Bonus- When on my cell at home, the headset adapter is the same size as my Sprint PCS phone. :)
The best part? I live in a secured building, with two garages below me. I was in the BOTTOM garage on this phone and STILL had a crystal clear signal. I can almost go check my mail in the lobby before it beeps out of range. Hands down the best phone I've ever used. My only complaint: Every once in awhile the Caller ID doesn't show up, but does on my old school CID box in my room.
I know they've come down in price alot, I've never had a problem with it. I had a VTech 900mhz before this one, and it worked great, too.
I am a huge VTech fan. But DON'T buy the VTech over the ear headset, the cord frays just after the 90 day warranty.
