I purchased 2 sets of this phone. One handset of each set died within 3 months. I tried new batteries but that didn't help. These phones are not worth buying at any price.

Well I was using a Virgin phone from Target and it started to deteriate in quality. I lived with it for awhile and then one day I was at Bestbuy and this phone was on sale for 29.99 and I thought ot myself "Why Not" I mean it was a dual headset system and it was suggnifcantly cheaper then all the other phones there with Caller ID, Dual Headset, etc. So I bought it. Well if worked for a few weeks and then I started to notice what the phone really was like. Let me just say I am an avid talker. Although I am a big talker on the phone my previous 2 year old Virgin phone from target worked for along time and its not like I needed a really expensive phone So I didnt invest in one. I thought this would be good enough. Well this phone after a color of weeks started changing color to a yellowish tint. Which thats why I really dont like white phones and i normally dont buy them. The little rubber piece on one of the phones that covers the jack to plug in a headset broke off one day simply by me trying to plug a headset in and it didnt go back. But the most dissapointing was that after charging it for an average of about 12 hours it would only get short of a half of an hour talk time. I simply couldnt live with this. It was horriable.

So after 1 month of use I threw these into the garbage. I coulda sold them for a couple extra dollars but I didnt want anyone else to have to go threw the pain.

In its place I bought a Panasonic 5.8ghz phone. Well that didnt work outta the box so I had to return it. Really dissapointing for a 140.00 phone (Yes I did invest in a bigger and better phone literally) So then I bought a Uniden Powermax phone after reading good review after good review on them. I payed suggnicantly less (79.99) but in this case the more expensive isnt the best.

Worked for a short time before displays failed on both handsets. Base charger stopped working. If you can get these to keep working for more than a month consider yourself very lucky. JUNK, JUNK, JUNK.

I bought Vtech 2.4GHZ Model#2435 during Thanksgiving sales, It stopped working after two weeks, both hand set are new batteries, then I put then away, now my sony phone needs a new battery, I have been thinking to give another try about this phone, then I bought another two pack of batteries, it won't work either.
O.K, I am so mad and try to call the customer service, number is 18005959511, Guess what? I am always in que 3, finally I hear some people talking to me, just a short 'Hi", then I am back to Que 3 again, that is it!!!

Vtech phone #2435 is just a JUNK!!! Services are JUNK too.

I bought this same 2 phone system 2 years ago. Found after a few months that it failed to charge the hand set on the main phone. So I have to swap phones every so often to the remote phone's charger to keep them usable. At least they still work, for a cheap set, but V tech needs to fix the charging problem that is obviously a design or materials flaw.

MTBF: 2500-7000 POH.

In english: you get to use the Master handset for about 3 - 5 months before the master station fails to charge a handset.

Warranty or not, this model is junk.

V-Tech: MIL-217-E needs to be reviewed by your design and your manufacturing staff.

Please issue a recall.

I wish Amazon offered a "0 stars" rating......

I've bought many VTech phones in the past and had great luck with them, so when I was looking for a dual handset, I specifically looked for a VTech. I bought this phone in September of 2005. When it started malfunctioning a few months later, I contacted VTech and they replaced it with a refurbished phone. When that phone started malfunctioning after a few months, I contacted VTech and they replaced it with a new phone. That phone started malfunctioning a few days ago. To sum up, I've had three sets malfunction in less than 15 months.

All three phones malfunctioned in the same manner. When the handset was in the main charging dock, the light would indicate that it was being charged, but it wasn't. When I remove the handset from the dock, the charging light stayed lit even though it wasn't charging anything. I think I paid $40 for this phone originally, and I don't recall how much I spent in shipping charges mailing the stupid things from Michigan to Texas twice.

This VTech model is TRASH!

I had the same problem with the headset jack cover falling off as reported in an earlier review. Also, I wasn't impressed with the sound quality. Everyone sounded a little fuzzy. But, I guess they are pretty good phones for the lower price range variety.

We have had this phone for over 6 months now and it is still doing a great job. One of the phones is in our home office and the other is in our garage. Reception is great on both.

The extended handset has so much static I can't use it. The main unit isn't much better.
