Summary: VTech 2961 shortcomings
Review: I chose the VTech 2961 because I had used the VTech brand before and was pleased with its reception. This particular phone has many features and a great answering machine. Unfortunately, the signal fades during conversation frequently enough to be annoying. I do not recommend this phone.

Summary: Very disappointing
Review: Just the facts: A) the handset has a very uncomfortable feel to it, making a long chat very irrating B) I returned my first under warranty because there would be breaks where I heard nothing, the replacement ended up doing the same thing, sounds like you are using a cell phone, the co. blamed it on interferrance but none of my other cordless models do this and they are much older C) The digital answering machine message sounds awful. The message is often garbled and unclear making it sound like a worn out tape model. D) I'm replacing it!

Summary: We love this phone
Review: This is one of the best phones we've had so far. Granted, the voice quality has a little static without the antenna fully extended. But, I haven't found any other cordless phone that doesn't suffer from a problem of this kind.

The battery holds the charge well, it lasts a long time away from the base, I can wander over to my neighbors and keep talking, and the physical construction quality is surprisingly good considering the price. I think the Siemens [dollar amount] phone system feels more fragile than this phone.

All in all, I think this phone is a good buy; I'm thinking about buying another one.

Summary: VTech 2961 is passable
Review: Two problems. First off the sound quality is low even when the handset is right next to the base. People I was talking to kept asking me to speak up, and I had to say "excuse me" all the time to get them to repeat something I couldn't hear. But the real big problem was: whenever my printer would warm up from powersave mode, the phone would reset! I never experienced that problem with any other telephone or electrical device. So this phone was unusable to me.
