Summary: is this a toy?
Review: I've been eyeballing this phone for quite some time. So I purchased it yesturday and boy what a dissapointment. The phone has nice features but thats about it. Unfortunantly I read the reviews after I purchased the phone. On the first day the phone was okay then (today) the second day I noticed this popping sound in the phone. I know it isnt my phone line becuase my other phones work perfectly fine. Bottom line is if you were thinking of purchasing this phone save yourself a headache. Dont do it! For those who have purchased this phone and have had no problems with it...consider yourselves lucky.

Summary: Not for everyone
Review: I gave this phone 1 star because zero is not an option. This phone is horrible, it is so staticy and makes loud popping sounds, I was surprised that it was a 2.4GHz. Anyway a friend of mine has the same one and hers is perfect. So I guess this phone just isn't for everyone, but now that I see all these reviews, it looks like this phone isn't for anyone. I returned mine and got a different 2.4GHz and it works great. VTech needs to go back to the drawing board and redo this one.

Summary: Ugh
Review: The idea of this phone was good, and it was awesome they had different color plates, yet... I got this phone about a year ago, waited for it to charge... for a week... yes I gave it a week, and nothing happened, nothing worked. Now it sits in the closet. This phone would have been fun, too bad it didn't work out.

Summary: I LUV THIS PHONE
Review: I have had this phone for over a year now and I love it. It has so many cool features. Between the tons of different ring tones and recordable composer, and the built in directory, message waiting, and caller id this phone is the best a teenager could get. There are four different interchangeable face plates. Their colors are sky blue, red, yellow, and orange, i wished that you could get football team face plates though. But over all this phone is the bomb.

Summary: Terrific Phone!!! AA++
Review: After reading the reviews I was a bit skeptical about purchasing the phone,even though I have had good luck with Vtech before. While I was debating the issue I received one for Christmas. I love this phone. One thing is you *must* follow the instructions exactly on battery installation, if you don't the wire doesn't lay at the bottom left and will not work. Once I re-consulted the instructions and followed them it worked perfectly. Those who's phone never worked might want to check this.<br /><br />I did have to return the phone initially because of a static problem, (to the local target store) but they let me keep the charged battery and when I got home the new phone worked perfectly.<br /><br />I think it's like any mass produced item, occasionally you may get a dud, but this phone really works great! I love being able to distinguish the cordless ring from the others so I can find it easily, and I'm not running around looking for it because my kids have laid it down somewhere. Also the flashing lights are great for that as well.<br /><br />I would definitely buy this brand and model again if I need another cordless phone. The only thing I wish was that I could get a green or dk blue face plate and that other ringtones were available for download or purchase. The composer software they offer to download onto your pc really doesn't convert *any* midi as claimed, at least not correctly.<br /><br />but other than that a terrific phone!!

Summary: Loved it at first now I don't like it at all
Review: When I bought the phone less then a year ago I loved all the cool features about it. Now I am searching for a new one because when I am talking to someone all of a sudden they will be able to hear me but I can't hear them, all I hear is static on the line, pretty aggervating. This is a hassle I have to place the phone back on the charger a wait a few minutes. I have lost important calls because of it. I paid a higher price for this phone, I don't think it is even worth it's current price, sorry. I recommend you continue your search, I hope this helps.

Summary: Garbage
Review: I bought one of these and had to have the company send me a new one. All that I had was constant static and the caller id call waiting didn't work. I decided to return the first one and send the second one back to the company. Save your money and time and aggravation. Don't buy this.

Summary: No Good At All
Review: My sister had been bugging me for some time because she wanted this phone so badly. I finally caved and went to Target to get it for her. I returned home and set it up and waited...and waited...and waited. Finally after a day and a half of letting the phone charge it still didn't work and was a disappointment. I was disgusted! So I returned it back to Target and went out and bought the same phone from Best Buy. I charged the phone for the suggested 10 hours and it works great and my sister loves it. She uses all the features and has special ring tones set up for different people, if you are going to buy this phone, take my advice and go to another retailer!
