Pros: Excellent feature set. Well-made physical design and layout. Nice small handset.
Cons: Sound quality very poor. Lots of static.
The Bottom Line: Excellent features don't outweigh the poor quality of the sound.

| magsig's Full Review: Vtech VT 2461 2.4 GHz 1-Line Cordless Phone |
After reading the reviews on Epinions, I was very interested in this phone. I wanted a multi-handset phone with a built-in answering machine base.
We got the phone home and I read through the manual, connected it up, and started to work through the features. I was pleasantly surprised by a pretty good user interface and all of the basics I wanted in the phone. I was especially happy that the handsets were small.
The backup battery/auxiliary battery is great.
But the sound quality is very poor. I tried positioning the
unit in different locations, away from all possible interference, but even standing with the handset immediately next to the base, there is noticeable static on the phone. I checked against other cordless phones in the same jack, same broadcast area, and, well, this phone's sound quality is way below average.
