I really like the Vtech 2431. The speaker phone function works great. Most people can't even tell when I use the speaker phone. Too bad it is discontinued.

This is by far the best phone I've ever had, I love the features, simple to understand (user friendly). On top of this I got it second hand and it still was better than my 5.8 Ghz Panasonic I got brand new. If I can find another one I would go for it. Too bad that some got some that were not good other wise it is a great phone. Another very good thing it that the batteries are very good and they are dirt cheap.

I've owned the 2431 since 2000 and love it. I've never replaced the rechargable battery pack! I'm thinking about doing it since it only stays charged for about three days.
I've tried other cordless phones, and this is the one I compare them against. None have gotten close to the overall quality of this one.

What I like about it:
- fantastic coverage:I can walk down the street a ways and still have excellent reception, where other cordless phones usually drop.
- ergonomic: easy to hold, very lightweight, just the right size, buttons are easy to find and press, etc.
- display is very easy to read and is backlit.
- usability: options are intuitive and quick to get to. It's easy to find a previous call and immediately call it. It also gives you the options to dial a prefix, 1+, etc.
- the handsfree option on the handset is nice.
- speakerphone is very responsive and low-noise.
- looks: still very modern, clean and professional.
- battery pack lasts a long time! Seven years so far!

What I dislike:
- the response time of dialing numbers. When you are pressing the numbers, there is a very slight delay (maybe third-of-a-second). This is slower than some of the newer models, but it's ok.

Hope this helps.

Loved the ability to have four phones in my house all hooked up to one base wirelessly. No phone jacks where I needed a phone most, so this was perfect. Great sound clarity, handset controls and even more cool was that this phone was on all the tv shows at one time or another!

Anywho, a great phone. Never had problems with signal except when walking in front of a working microwave oven.

I have had the phone for over four years now and i love everything about it. With most cordless phones you have to get more then one type and with this one you can get just another handset and if your not near the hand set or your to lazy to find it just pick up on the speakerphone. What isn't there to love about it. If you are looking for a long lasting good quality phone this is the one for you.
