4.0 out of 5 stars A good combination of "Two Worlds", March 28, 2004

This review is from: VTech 2498 2.4 GHz Analog Cordless Phone with Corded Base and Caller ID (Silver and Black) (Office Product)

This phone is a good combination of both the "corded" and the "cordless" worlds of phones. The corded "home station" of this phone will work even if the power is off, which is something many people overlook when buying a phone. The adjunct handset can be put anywhere there's an a/c outlet, and doesn't require a phone jack.

I have telephone company voice messaging, so the Message Waiting light is a real plus. The speakerphone has good sound quality. My only complaint is that the home station doesn't have any autodial keys for frequently called numbers. All stored numbers are in the main directory. Also, interestingly, there is no place on either station to record your own phone number.

However, my likes outweigh my dislikes on this phone, and I definitely recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Look Elsewhere, January 6, 2005

Within the 1st few weeks of owning the phone the cordless battery needed to be replaced. A few months later the cordless earpiece stopped producing sound. I've bought numerous $20 or less portables that are tougher and a better value. The base unit is fine but does nothing extraordinary that you can't get for less elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent phone!, September 10, 2003

This review is from: VTech 2498 2.4 GHz Analog Cordless Phone with Corded Base and Caller ID (Silver and Black) (Office Product)

What a terrific system. The phones both work great and offer the flexablility of a cordless and the convienience of a corded phone, all in one package. The corded phone also has a speakerphone that actually sounds good and numerous other features. Well worth the money.
