Summary: Not a good buy
Review: We bought this phone yesterday and are returning it today. There ample features, the phone is sleek and the size compact but THAT IS NOT THE POINT. All you want a cordless to do is have good voice quality and battery life. I can't speak for the battery life (Consumer Reports states 13 hours but they also reported good voice quality, so go figure) but the voice quality is poooooor. Granted we live in an apartment and there may be alot of interference but I can't justify spending $... for a phone that does not handle the basics. White noise in every conversation and the answering machine message is inaudible. Going to give the Panasonic 2730s and will write a review for that one as well. Trust me. . . Don't buy this phone unless you want ...

Summary: Poor voice quality, broken answering machine
Review: I own this and wish I didn't. The only good thing about this phone is the extra handsets you can purchase. The voice quality is so bad I have to switch to a different brand cordless phone to actually carry on a conversation. Now, being less than a year old, I have come to find out the answering machine only works periodically. People think they have left a message when in reality it was never recorded. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PHONE AT ALL!!!

Summary: Looks can be decieving.....
Review: I purchased this phone a local department store. I fell in love with its sleek and contemporary design, and I could only imagine what I a great phone it would be when I got home to use it. To my surprise, I was wrong. It was very easy to set up, and learn how to use. Such features as the "Digital Answering Machine" and "Intercom" were big flops. Why? Here is why...The digital answering machine has a horrible microphone and when recording your outgoing message it sounds scratchy and blotchy. I thought that maybe it only sounded like that from the unit (even of which it shouldn't), but when I called home from work a couple of times and got the answering machine, it sounded just as bad. The same goes for when people leave you messages. The clarity and sound quality is just horrible. Making it very difficult to understand your messages or screen your calls. The Intercom system was kind of cool. Since it is located on the phone itself. Alowing you to lay down and lay the phone next to you while having a conversation, or walk around the kitchen while trying to cook or something but still have a conversation. The draw back to this however is that the sound goes in and out. So one minute you can hear the person on the phone and the next you cant. One thing that drove me CRAZY about this phone and gave me reason to take it back after a week was the echo you hear when you speak into it and the static that a 2.4 Gig phone promises to not have. That drove me crazy. I tested it with close neighbors, people on cell phones, and relatives that lived a distance. But the same echo and static was there for them all. This phone is cute, but not very effiecient for it's price tag.

Summary: Elegant
Review: Our VT2461 works beautifully -- wonderful reception on phone calls, hands free and intercom. I love having hands free on the phone itself-- and it's clearer than our Panasonic speaker phone. There's no fade-in/fade-out while waiting for a customer service representative on "hands free". The phones are light and the base is small. The answering machine works well, with 3 separate mailboxes. The caller ID function is nice. The phone seems to have a reputation for either being awesome or having the fatal flaw of "white noise"-- ours has no white noise and it is the best phone system we've ever had.

Summary: Fair phone... but annoying at times
Review: I have had this phone for over a year now (multiple handsets as well). In general it has worked out ok. Every so often though (once a week), when you go to answer the phone it will lose contact with the base, and then it has to reacquire the base (takes about a minute). While that is happening, the caller just gets dead air and probably hangs up. Can be quite annoying, and it happens often enough to be a concern. The other complaint I have is that you have to traverse menus to adjust the volume on the handset. I liked the design and look of the phone, but I think I would rather have an ugly phone that works more reliably.

Summary: Don't Buy This Phone - Spend the $$$ for the Panasonic
Review: This phone has a ton of great features...if only i could hear the person I'm talking too. Something a $... phone can accomplish. It sounds horrible..all you here is SSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Don't buy it. At all...not even to try it out...it's garbage. Spend the money and get the Panasonic KX-TG2730S and an extra Handset KX-TGA270S. This phone is the best there is...all the features you want and more...and its clear as a bell. No problems with wireless networks either. It costs the most but its worth it just not to have to return all the other junk phones out there.

Summary: VTech is Great!
Review: I started buying VTech cordless phones when we had a feed line go bad in our house wiring. Ma Bell wanted [money]to correct the problem, so I started looking for other solutions. The VTech cordless was the answer for us...we now have five of the units, and the cordless base unit with the built in answering machine just caps it all off. Lots of range, clear reception, fits in your pocket. Absolutely no problems with these guys.

Summary: Not one of VTech's better efforts....
Review: This manufacturer of excellent telephones stumbled with this model. I disregarded Consumer Report's comments that there is a persistent white noise in the background, but CU was correct. Despite all of the excellent features, small size and price, it's simply not a good phone. Also, the VTech customer support is dreadful. When I needed to purchase an extra battery cover, I was told that there weren't any available, but to try calling them again in a month or so. Customer support, indeed!

Summary: A decent phone for the price
Review: The VTech phone and answering machine are well made and perform well. The additional handsets available for purchase are also good products.
