Pros: extra handset does not require phone jack to operate
Cons: not reliable. product broke after 8 months

I purchased this product 8 months ago and was generally pleased with how it operated. However, yesterday the answering machine portion broke and when I called Vtech customer service I was informed that this tended to happen often with this model. I was...

Pros: small lightweight
Cons: junk

I bought one of these last year. I loved the small size; I like to carry my phone in my shirt pocket ...

Pros: Acceptable range for the handsets.
Cons: Answer Machine quite accepting messages and tech support was not able to fix the problem

I liked having more than one handset to place in other rooms that do not have access to a phone line. The range of the handsets was adequate to carry around while doing yard work. The receiver emits interference and I could hear it from my corded phone...

Pros: Excellent feature set. Well-made physical design and layout. Nice small handset.
Cons: Sound quality very poor. Lots of static.

After reading the reviews on Epinions, I was very interested in this phone. I wanted a multi-handset phone with a built-in answering machine base.

We got the phone home and I read through the manual, connected it up, and started to work...

Pros: Cheap, 2.4 GHz
Cons: After 1.25 years, base unit broke

I liked the phone since it was one of the cheaper ones and it had all the features that we wanted. ...

Pros: Clear reception a few feet farther than 900MHz phones.
Cons: Unusable after 6 weeks, the replacement phone has the same problem.

The Replacement phone has the same problem as the first phone- the handset mutes the conversation after about 10 minutes use. A new battery came with the phone. Communications with the extra handset inside my metal shop 90 feet away is still good....

Pros: Inexpensive, full-duplex speakerphone in handsets, system works during power outage!
Cons: Inconsistent reception, no central directory, can't name extensions, tiny "soft" button descriptions

I bought the Vtech system (base and three remotes) to replace a fragile and failing Siemens gigaset 2400 system. The Vtech system has a few nice features, but it is still plagued by some of the problems of the Siemens system and it lacks a few really...

Pros: Good voice quality, easy to use, speakerphone on handset
Cons: A few user interface annoyances

This is my fourth cordless phone in as many years, and I think I finally have a keeper! This time, I was looking for a cordless with speakerphone on the handset, an integrated answering machine (since eVoice died!), and preferably wall-mountable....

Pros: Excellent intercom system; Nice styling; Clear display on the handsets; Speakerphone; Price
Cons: Quality?; Lack of centralized caller ID; Speakerphone reception and location

This is an excellent cordless phone, but first and foremost, I must say that the deciding factor in our purchasing this phone was the information we received from user reviews about this and other phones on Epinions. So I would like to thank those users...

Pros: Great Price for 2 phone system. Easy to use.
Cons: Weird behavior when tied into other electronic items.

I bought the 2-phone system at Costco to replace an older 900MHZ unit with built in answering machin ...

Pros: Just everything but the one "gotcha" in "Cons."
Cons: Can't recall a PIN number and dial it during a call.

I was overwhelmed and overjoyed as I opened this baby and proceeded to master its gizmos. But since our family has divorced from AT&T in favor of calling cards, entering long PIN numbers [hopefully from memory] is pretty important to us.

I...

Pros: handset speaker phone, expandable, nice answering device
Cons: short battery life, inability to name handsets or copy phonebook, no answer handset access.

I owned this phone ever since December '05. It seemed to have have gone a long way for me, and I've been appericiating it. The Phone Itself: Features: Adds on to 4 Handsets Handset to Handset paging, intercom, and transfer Conference ...

Pros: Great price and features, nice size, works great and can add more phones.
Cons: Having to delete caller ID calls from EACH phone.

Wow, I am amazed at how many people have rated this phone system bad. I think that a lot of phone pr ...

Pros: Clear reception, no phone jack required, handsfree feature, stylish
Cons: Caller ID is text-display only

This is the 2002 model of the highly-rated VTech 2.4GHz Digital Spread Spectrum ("Gigaphone") expandable cordless series. It replaces both the VT2431 (reviewed extensively at epinions), incorporating some design improvements, and the stand-alone VT2464...
