Summary: There is no other phone with these features!
Review: All the other good reviews are correct about this phone. The bad ones are just ignorance or special circumstances. I own the base set and 4 extensions and let me add that there is no phone on the market (I researched for days) that has every option the vtech does...Period. Go ahead and look, look at the panasonics etc.-they may have caller id, but not speakerphone too! It stands on its own without the reciever too, now you can use the speakerphone option while typing or whatever. The tiny battery in these phones hold a charge for a week or more! The great thing is -the mini charger can be plugged in anywhere-no phone jack required! This phone operates very much like a cell phone in its size and its ONE BUTTON shortcuts to options such as: 99 preset phone #s by names you edit, call another handset in your house..etc These are valuable options for me - how bowt you? I have heard better clarity in a 2.4 Gig phone, but, for the money and features-this is the best...period!

Summary: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Review: Do not purchase this phone system unless you enjoy the sound of "white noise" during telephone conversations. There is a constant hissing noise from the ear piece whenever the phone is being used . . . Please take heed to similiar reviews on this phone and save yourself the hassle and expense of having to return it !

Summary: V-Tech 2420, 2431
Review: For the money, this is the best phone system I can think of for home or small business use. The 2431 (base unit) has a speakerphone, which makes it two phones in one, as it has the ability to intercom between the base unit and the handheld. Then we bought a 2420, so we have a 3-point intercom system. As we live in an older home, the intercom and the ability to place a phone where we wanted without running phone cords was important to us, and I spend a lot less time screaming around the house to call the family members. We will purchase two more 2420s in the future, to intercom easily throughout the house. The 2420s run off the base unit, and don't need a phone line, which is fantastic not to have to pay the phone company to run lines where we want the phones. Also, the VTech handsets each have Caller ID, which is a very handy feature, they show when another handset is in use (in case you don't have call-waiting, at least you know when someone is excessively tying up the hone line), and the speakerphone on each handset is perhaps my favorite feature. We have eliminated all the corded phones in the house in favor of this system, which has clear connections even outdoors, and two houses away from us. I can send the kids to the neighbors, and can page them from the 2431 via the intercom when they need to come home. Best of all, the original 2431 handset we bought flew off the hot tub in a sudden windstorm, the battery and battery cover landed in the pool (managed to catch the phone itself), and after the battery dried, it still worked! A minor ding on the antenna did not affect how the unit performed. We are all pleased with the features of this phone.

Summary: Cool phones
Review: I bought 2 of these to go with my 2431. They are the best cordless home phones I've found. Small, handset speakerphone, 4-line display, and much more. Only thing I don't like is that newer ones don't have a charge LED. One of mine was apparently manufactured earlier, and the charging cradle has a charge LED. The other one, apparently newer, lacks a charge LED. My only real gripe is there's a rhythmic ticking on both my accessory handsets. It's fairly quiet so I can ignore it, but I find it unusual that the handset that came with the 2431 doesn't have this clicking at all. Overall, I love the phones though!

Summary: Great phone system!
Review: I bought this as an extention since my teen is always keeping the other handset in his room... I bought it right after I bought the phone system which I LOVE, and this is a very nice phone for the money!Only 2 complaints, nothing major but was why I could not give it the 5 stars. #1: when you have voice messaging, and caller ID, and you delete the info from one phone, you have to go and delete it from ALL the phones. This drives me bonkers because then I keep thinking someone else called..lol..
#2: Sometimes there is some serious echo-ing going on in these phones, and you have to hang up your call and call the other person back. Or sometimes you cannot hear the other person very well.. I don't know what causes this, but it is forsure the phones and not the lines. These phones DO take up a lot of the battery since its got so many features and digital dodads on it. I need 2 more of these phones and then I will be happy,,, I think:o)

Summary: 1 thing wrong & had to return
Review: I had the 2.4 w/digital ans with caller ID/call waiting. I loved how compact it was and liked its features. The answering machine was the best part of the phone. Unfortunatly the phone had a constant vibration noise even though the volume was at its lowest. Everytime I said a word or the person on the other end spoke, I heard this vibrating buzz like that of playing a loud noise infront of a drum (the vibrating noise that the skins make). I wasn't talking loud or anything yet it was constant. I would change the channels constantly and nothing. I did everything possible but nothing changed. So I had to return it.

Summary: V-Tech expandable phones
Review: I have this set. I actually have the base one with 2 expandables. I love it, works well. I have an apartment with only 1 good jack. So this helps me to have a phone in just about every room. You can even replace them on the others handset with no problems.

Summary: A great cordless
Review: I haven't received the handset yet, but if it works like the 2461 it is going to be supplementing, then it will be an awesome cordless. No complaints so far. I would however suggest getting a hands free headset as the handsets are quite small.
