Following the success of 900 MHz frequency phones, 2.4 GHz phones transmit at even a higher frequency. If you already own one or more 900 MHz telephones, consider a 2.4 GHz model when you are looking to add an additional cordless telephone. Many 2.4 GHz phones can transmit greater amounts of data than lower-frequency units. VTech calls this greater bandwidth. One advantage of greater bandwidth is the ability to link multiple handsets to a single base unit.??Add this expansion handset/charger to your base unit to turn your cordless telephone into a multi-handset system. Imagine, up to 4 cordless phones with only one phone jack! Features include call waiting ID, 50 name-and-number phone book directory and handset speakerphone. Less

Cons Vtech had an almost perfect phone, but ruined it with a lousy battery.

Recommended it? Yes

My first experience with this phone was when Bellsouth sent one with their logo on it. When I received my first bill for it, it promptly was returned as they had told me the phone was "just $30" not 6 (yes, 6) installments of $30!! Installments?!! On a phone?

Pros Many features; easy to use, comfortable size, works with just an electrical outlet.

Cons None that I have found.

Recommended it? Yes

Maybe I'm the only person who has every done this. A few weeks ago, I was talking on my Vtech VT 20-2420 Expansion Headset telephone. I forgot I was using it and not my mobile phone. I go to the garage, get in my car and head out my driveway, still talking. I get four houses away and my call drops... Read full review »
