Rating: Summary: The worst phone ever Review: The sound quality of this phone is awful. Sometimes you hear a dial tone from the other line. The phone cuts out and rings loudly when the other line rings. I wish I would have returned it. I'm putting this thing in the basement and buying a better quality phone.
Rating: Summary: V-Tech fails to deliver Review: The V-Tech 2931 purported to provide a power failure backup solution with an optional battery, However, the phone will only work if there is a power surge prior to a blackout. If the power justs goes out, the spare battery provides only a paperweight functionality. V-tech's documentation on the website speaks to the ability to provide a power backup solution yet the documentation that came with the phone only speaks about having a spare battery that is charged. Upon contacting V-Tech by phone, I received a very disinterested customer service staff who explained that the phone worked like it was supposed to work. When pressed to speak with a supervisor, I was told that they were unavailable and that they would return my call. Since it has been 2 weeks since that conversation, I guess I shouldn't continue to wait by the phone for that call back from the supervisor. I will simply return my purchase and try my luck with a Uniden solution (which, by the way, works like it is supposed to)
Rating: Summary: works for me Review: This phone has freed me from my desk. Many people are unaware that I am on a cordless. I wanted a resonably priced phone that doesn't sound like a...tin can with string. I am very happy with this one.
Rating: Summary: Ok phone with poor usebility Review: This phone is just ok, but has some major usebility flaws. Top 2 are:1. No way to switch from handheld call to speakerphone without major feedack. 2. Most annoying is when you are on line 1, and line 2 rings, and rings LOUD in your ear, and your voice is muter to ther person on the other end at the same time. I don't know about everyone else, but this is a business phone to me, and when it sounds like I have call-waiting to my customer on the other end, it's amateur hour. Only problem is I bought this phone after I returned a 2-line cordless Panisonic with similiar issues. It's like wating for Gadot. Hopefully I'll find the perfect 2-line cordless phone someday; I'm not holding my breath.
Rating: Summary: VTech usually does better than this Review: Two key flaws: 1. No indication (on either base or handset) when someone else is using a phone line -- many phones will show "Extension in Use" or light up the button for that line. 2. In the middle of a call, you hear a brief dialtone as, presumably, it takes the other line "off-hook" to listen for the stutter dial tone representing an unheard voice mail message (so the 2931 can light up). As a previous fan of VTech who bought this phone over Uniden and Panasonic, I'm disappointed and considering returning it.

Rating: Summary: Great, easy to use phone! Review: Very happy with this phone. It is difficult to find a two-line, caller id, speakerphone with NO answering machine. I really like this phone!
