| michiman1's Full Review: Vtech VT 9111 900 MHz - Cordless Phone |
In my spare time, when not at work or writing Epinions I may open my own phone store. With seven different extensions in the home and two cellphones I am quickly finding it necessary to learn more about each available brand and model. We recently purchased the Vtech VT-9111 as a phone for our daughter’s room. For the purpose of this review, although the phone is stenciled with the model VT-9111, the real model number may be a VT-02-9111. The later of these model numbers does not appear on their site but does appear on the box. My best guess is that the original VT-9111 was a black model which became the VT-02-9111 version in various colors.
Features
The VT-02-9111 is a 900 Megahertz cordless phone which offers customers a good mid-grade phone between their predecessors and the newer 2.4 Gigahertz models. Buying the 900 Megahertz models keeps the budget conscience in mind while still offering a quality product. The VT-02-9111 displays it’s quality by offering both the caller and the receiver of the call a clear call each and every time. The range of the phone is good, still clear on any of the three levels of our home and even outdoors well away from the home.
The VT-02-9111 hand-set has several feature buttons, the Prog and Mem buttons which are used for storing and retrieving up to ten phone numbers. To add a stored phone number simply push the Prog button followed by a digit 0-9. To recall a stored number just press Mem followed by the corresponding digit. The hand-set also has a Redial button for quick one button dialing of the last called phone number.
The base comes equipped with a Page button which is a necessity with the cordless variety phones. This button is used when trying to locate a misplaced hand-set, setting off a tone at the handset to help retrieve it from under a pile of teenager’s laundry or the cushion of the recliner dad is currently sitting on!
The base may sit out on a flat surface, or if one so desires it is also wall mounted. I may caution you that the hand-set hangs precariously when “resting” on the wall mounted base. The bases are constructed with a “see-through” plastic and come in no less than six different colors. This makes them a great addition to a teenager’s bedroom with it’s fun and youthful look.
Price and Conclusions
The VT-02-9111 is listed on the Epinions site as selling for a price of $50.00 but we purchased it for less than $40.00 some time ago. My guess is it may even be found for something less than this price now. There are features that one may find missing on this phone and for those people, I am sorry to say, your search will have to lead you past this phone. If you can live with only these simple features, then for both the price and quality I find this phone and company to be highly recommendable.
