When I bought this phone for my home office, I was pretty excited about it. Its exterior is an attractive matte silver, the handset feels good in the hand, and has a nifty lighted keypad and screen that even tells you the length of your phone calls. However, this was the first cordless phone I've ever owned whose sound quality on the other end (what's received by the person to whom you're talking) is so markedly poor that people commented on it. When my husband and I tested it out ourselves, we were horrified to discover that this phone is so unclear that it makes you sound like you have a lisp. Also, I never found a way to comfortably hold the handset next to my ear for extended periods of time. It's possible our particular phone was a lemon, but unlikely; we returned it immediately, and are trying our luck with the vtech2431.

I purchased this phone to replace my dead 900MHz phone. The phone is very attractive and a breeze to install. The phone had perfect clarity......but the phone CAN NOT be used for long calling times. This is the perfect phone for a teenager !

The ear-piece is convexed w/o a recess for the ear canal area. This phone causes pain to the ear in less than 5 minutes. Both my wife and I avoided using the phone in favor for our very old analogue cordless. The phone was returned after 3 days of use.

Try the fit of the phone out at a local retailer before you buy.

Static is the best way to describe this phone and both of the other reviews are more than correct. These phones are in the rooms on military bases. Unfortunately this proves that they seem to give our great men and women that serve this country all the throw aways nobody else wants. let's start treating them like the stars they are like the celebrities get please for they are true heros and deserve the best.
God Bless America & the world
