Summary: Good phone, very poor battery life
Review: I have the same problem as the other reviewers with a very poor battery life. After hours of recharging, it allows approx 20 minutes of use. Searching for a new new battery and will see how it goes...

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: V-Tech 2528 2.4 GHzNOT
Review: I purchased this phone on February 25, 2003 based SOLELY on the reviews by current owners on Amazon.com, so I decided to give this little V-Tech a chance, but I now understand why I use products I have had experience with in the past.
THE PROS:

The color is unique (Champagne)
The Tele Zapper feature
The size/shape of the phone (compact size)

THE CONS:
1. If the phone is set to "ADVANCED" for the telezapper, it causes a busy signal to come through the phone when answering a call or a call waiting call. When set to "BASIC" I noticed there is also an annoying beep when answering.

2. If illumination matters, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PHONE! The keypad does not illuminate in the dark and the keypad beeps are too loud!

3. The caller ID records #'s without the "1" in front of the number. I only mention this, because if you are used to Panasonic phones you know that you can redial a number from the caller id list directly because the place holder "1" is already there. I have also noticed this problem in many other V-Tech phones. They tend to pick up other conversations

4. My biggest PEEVE with this phone, is the fact that during a call there is static. The calls are not crystal clear at all. I avoided purchasing V-Tech phones in the past because I have known this to be common with them. Changing the channels is annoying too, because it briefly interrupts the call to "SCAN" the area only to find more static.

I hope this explanation is helpful...I research purchasing phones quite often, and the only reason why this phone received 2 stars is because of the TeleZapper feature. Which I didn't really have the opportunity to take advantage of.

HAPPY PHONE HUNTING!!

Summary: zaps telemarketers & messages
Review: I was very hopefull with this product purchase a week ago. I read the manual thoroughly, as most electronics require. I like the feature of "zapping" predictive dialers, but the fact is, when the tone comes across the phone line, my digital answering machine thinks someone is picking up the line and shuts off. That means, if someone were to call, it would ring 4 times and "zap", then cut off. How effective is this really?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great phone, with an added benefit
Review: I'm really happy with this phone. It's sleek, the reception is clear, and I think it's working in cutting down on telemarketing calls. I've had no problems with it. I really like the readout display, and it's easy to program. My boyfriend just ordered one too.

Summary: Goodbye Telemarketers, Hello peace and quiet!
Review: It really works! As a homeowner with a two month old, we'd finally had enough of those irritating "unknown" callers. Everyone was selling everything! The Telezapper stopped the phone calls with "no one on the line", the hang ups, and the solictations (let the answering machine pick up & they get ZAPPED!). We saw a difference within a few days and were so pleased! It is reducing those computer dialed calls every day! This is a winner in our home and we've purchased them for Christmas gifts!!! BYE BYE SOLICITORS! More time for baby and peace & quiet!

Summary: crappy battery, otherwise ok
Review: like some of the other reviewers i have had a real problem with this battery. it literally lasts 20 minutes after a full 24 hours charging. i havent yet tried replacing the battery but i've only had the thing for 6 months so far and already it's dying? anyway i would recommend NOT buying this one.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Stay away from this phone
Review: Poor battery life, poor reception, and it broke after 8 months of regular home use. Go Uniden instead...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Talk Fast..............
Review: Save your $$ and pass on this P.O.S. - I have suffered with this phone for almost a year now and am shopping for a replacement. The Battery life is almost non existant and has been from the beginning. After sitting in the charger overnight it dies within the first 10 minutes of making a call. Thought about replacing the battery, but I hate this phone so much I don't want to even look at it anymore. The Telezapper feature didn't seem to slow the telemarketing vultures down much either. I'm leaning towards a Panasonic or Uniden - wish me luck!!

Summary: LOUSY
Review: The V-Tech 2.4 GHZ(#2528)is the worst item I have ever
purchased. I wanted a phone that allowed me to talk and
for the listener to be able to hear me. I have to sit in a
certain chair, in a certain body position. Otherwise, the
interference is horrendous and you can not hear anything.
The received of my calls cannot hear me either.

All I wanted was a phone where I can talk to people and they can
hear me.

THIS "pseudophone" does not perform that basic function.

Now, I have to find a phone that is a phone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Phone
Review: this is the best phone have ever had. it has great reception,and i love the built in telezapper device. if you want a phone that lasts get this one
