Summary: Feature packed, limited range
Review: I would definitely agree with the reviews stating that the range is limited, but I have noticed similar opinions on other 2.4ghz phones also. In a direct comparison, the range seems to be just about identical to my old 900mhz analog AT&T cordless phone. However, clarity within that range seems to be slightly better on this phone. The range is AT LEAST 150 feet. Otherwise, it has just about every feature you could possibly imagine: caller ID & Call Waiting ID w/ name & number, excellent multi-line display, a log of redial numbers, six different ring options, supports 3 additional handsets (only needs to be hooked up at one phone jack), a fully duplexed speaker phone at the base, message indicator light (if you subscribe to the phone company voice mail), mute button (on each handset & the base), headphone jack on each handset, hold button & spare battery compartment/charger. However, the additional handsets run about $80 a piece (another $240 if you decide to add the maximum 3 additional). Overall, a very good product though.

Review: The VTech 2431 2.4GHz phone looks great and is loaded with features. But the range is terrible and there is a constant low hum on the line during conversations, plus occasional echoing. I spent an hour on the phone with Vtech technical support and followed all their recommendations like moving the base upstairs to get better reception, but to no avail. I even exchanged the phone for another one thinking it might be defective. Finally, I gave up and returned the phone.

Summary: its a keeper
Review: vtech has finally lost weight with their new phone,the vt2431 is about the size of a cellular phone and the base-speakerphone is the size of a paperback book,small in size but big on features.the handset has a built in speaker and the sound is great,four ringer sounds to choose from.the only weak point might be that the range is not the greatest,maybe 60 or 70 ft from the base,but overall this cordless phone is well "up there" in the new styles and features.its a keeper in my book!

Summary: Pros and Cons
Review: I bought my VTech phone (and an extra handset) almost exactly a year ago. Since then I've gotten to know the phone inside-and-out and discovered just how "durable" it really is. Pros: - The phone size is excellent. The smaller the better and this is by far the lightest, smallest phone out there. I can fit it in my pocket easily. If you dislike small phones then this might be a con for you. - Handsfree dialing. I can dial my 7 digits and then hit talk. It's a silly feature, but I love it. Can't explain why. I can also hit the speakerphone button instead of talk and it goes right into speakerphone mode. - Great speakerphone mode. Very clear. I can set it on my desk and talk to someone at a comfortable distance and they can't tell I'm on speakerphone unless my AC is running. - Good range. I didn't measure the distance, but I live in an apartment complex and can go downstairs, around the building, past the next building, and to the pool before it gets fuzzy. It also chirps when it loses contact, which is nice to know. - Good features like the headset jack, speakerphone, and multiple-base support. Cons: - After a year, one of the phone's batteries is completely toast. They're not cheap either. - After 6 months of usage, the headset jack now makes static whenever you move even the slightest bit. - Caller ID works but could be a LOT more intelligent. You can't easily store numbers from Caller ID into your phonebook. - Volume is a pain to adjust. No easy up/down buttons, it's in the menuing system... which is slow and cumbersome. - If you answer the phone while it's gathering the Caller ID data (during the first ring) the phone will crash and you'll lose your call. This is VERY annoying. - I don't know why, but I never used the phonebook function to store numbers. I think I found it too cumbersome like the rest of the menu system. So.. if you don't mind the occasional crash or replacing your batteries yearly, then this isn't a bad phone. However, I have to hope that there's something better out there with a better interface, more reliable components, with the same feature set and small size. If only Nokia would make a cordless.

Summary: Pooly designed keypad
Review: The keypad on this phone is very small and gave out on me just after a year. I see that VTECH uses a similar keypad on newer models. Beware and don't waster your $.

Summary: No problems
Review: I have the phone (VTech) the one I am reviewing. I am happy with the phone, but it is very hollow and makes a echoing noise at certain times. I am not happy with the phone's quality, but the features and interface is very happen. I regret, really, buying this phone, however... its ok. i wouldnt go buy another one, however I am not pleased with it... M

Summary: Great in the Begining....
Review: Disappointed. Thats all I can say about the phones I purchased.
Thank god, I kept my receit. In the beginning, I had no issues..clairty was great to me, Size was perfect, Price was also great. After about 3 Weeks, issues started becoming apparent. Speakerphone went out, and some of the other buttons stopped working properly. I returned it, and got a replacement (Same Model) this time with an answering machine. After 2 Weeks, it stopped taking messages. My friends thought I was being rude for not returning important Messages. I suppose I should taken closer notice, for they are now all being marked down for clearance. Bottom line: Looks great, but unless you plan on never using it....I would suggest another.
Thanks...On my way back to return mine.
