I didn't really need a new cordless phone, but I was excited by all of the cool features so I bought it anyway. I got it all set up, but when I tried it, it sounded "scratchy" on my end and also to everyone I spoke to. I had to return it. Too bad. It is a really cool phone. I didn't want to try another one because it is such a hassle to buy and return, buy and return...

Great idea, poor execution. Adding the tele zapper feature to the phone itself is what made this product attractive to me. But the sound quality is the worst I've encountered. I've owned several V-Tech phones and have been happy, but this one feels cheap, sounds cheap, and the answering machine sounds like Charlie Brown's parents. I returned mine and bought a Panasonic 2.4ghz combo phone which works great.

This is an OK phone. I love V-Tech phones and bought this one for all the features. This was the first 2.4ghz phone I bought, and will never buy one again! This phone itself is great. Easy to use and fairly priced. The range is great, but the sound however STINKS! Lots of interferance on my end. But like I said, I have only experanced it with 2.4ghz phones. I ended up buying a Uniden 5.8ghz that has wonderful clairity, but does not have the range for some reason!

I have purchased 2 vtech 900mhz phones in the past and been very happy with them. So when a lightning storm killed my current phone I was on the hunt for a new one. I looked at the features on this phone and decided it was a good buy. After hooking it up I tried it out. I know now that the 2.4ghz technology on this and some other models is no good. The high frequency transmissions were causing static at very short distances, never mind going outside. My old 900mhz would take me to the mailbox and back. After moving the base around the house and not getting good results I returned it. I am now looking into a 2.4 DSS phone or even another 900mhz if I can find one.

I loved my phone that I got a few months ago. With the telezapper built in the calls have drastically dropped. I have no problems with the beaps or rings cause I've ajusted them to me. Now, I know I've only had the phone for a few months but so far no battery problems. The range is awsome, I can walk around the house outside with my kids with no problems or static. I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones.
