Home > Consumer Reviews > VTech 2431 2.4 GHz DSS Dual Keypad Speakerphone

This is the best cordless phone I have ever purchased. It costs a pretty penny, but the features are worth it.

The sound quality is very good. I get a slight hum, but not terribly distracting. The speakerphone (built into the handset) is very impressive. The listener on the other end can hear me as well as having the handset to my lips.

What really sold me is the capability of this phone to add more than one handset to the base. This is going to work quite well in my apartment, which has a dearth of phone jacks.

The complaints I have about this phone are quite minor.

1. The DTMF tones are too short. When keying in voicemail pins, etc, I have to hold the buttons a split second longer than I'm used to. Keying in DTMF sequences quickly is difficult.

2. The handset can't be cradled between neck and shoulder, but then again, I use this phone with a 2.5mm headset, which just so happens to work with my Motorola StarTac.

3. When using the phone on my ear for too long, the screen gets covered with ear gunk. Not a big deal. Wipe it with a Kleenex every so often.

Great price, a lot of features. Some background noise.

I've had this phone for about a year now, and the only thing I can complain about is that it doesn't have an answering machine in it. After reading other reviews on this phone I've noticed many people complaining about the range of it. For me the range is great. I'm able to go anywhere in the house and outside with it. Yes after some distane I start getting static, but that's going through concrete and a few walls. If you need something that goes beyond 100 feet, why don't you just use a cell phone?

I have the phone (VTech) the one I am reviewing. I am happy with the phone, but it is very hollow and makes a echoing noise at certain times. I am not happy with the phone's quality, but the features and interface is very happen. I regret, really, buying this phone, however... its ok. i wouldnt go buy another one, however I am not pleased with it... M

This.......this is the best cordless telephone that I have ever seen or used in my life. It is just........awesome!!! I cant believe how well it works and how fast it charges. The only problem I have is that there is very light, extremely light static that is not adjustable except to get away from appliances and replocate the base. This is the best phone i have ever used and plan to use it through another 10 years(had it for a year and is like mint) Best phone ive ever used.
