5.0 out of 5 stars Goodbye Telemarketers, Hello peace and quiet!, December 13, 2002

By	crawwilk (Columbus, OH) - See all my reviews

It really works! As a homeowner with a two month old, we'd finally had enough of those irritating "unknown" callers. Everyone was selling everything! The Telezapper stopped the phone calls with "no one on the line", the hang ups, and the solictations (let the answering machine pick up & they get ZAPPED!). We saw a difference within a few days and were so pleased! It is reducing those computer dialed calls every day! This is a winner in our home and we've purchased them for Christmas gifts!!! BYE BYE SOLICITORS! More time for baby and peace & quiet!

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is A Great Phone!!, December 24, 2002

By	JoEllen Hock "movie maven" (Waukesha, WI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This phone is great! Not only does it "zap" computer-generated telemarket calls, but it lets you know when you have messages on your voice mail with a flashing red light on the base. The display is bright and very easy to read and the directory and memory dial are easy to program. Only one complaint - you cannot hang the base on the wall, but the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Would I recommend this phone? Absolutely!

2.0 out of 5 stars V-Tech 2528 2.4 GHzNOT, March 14, 2003

By	"nini2278" (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews

I purchased this phone on February 25, 2003 based SOLELY on the reviews by current owners on Amazon.com, so I decided to give this little V-Tech a chance, but I now understand why I use products I have had experience with in the past.
THE PROS:

The color is unique (Champagne)
The Tele Zapper feature
The size/shape of the phone (compact size)

THE CONS:
1. If the phone is set to "ADVANCED" for the telezapper, it causes a busy signal to come through the phone when answering a call or a call waiting call. When set to "BASIC" I noticed there is also an annoying beep when answering.

2. If illumination matters, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PHONE! The keypad does not illuminate in the dark and the keypad beeps are too loud!

3. The caller ID records #'s without the "1" in front of the number. I only mention this, because if you are used to Panasonic phones you know that you can redial a number from the caller id list directly because the place holder "1" is already there. I have also noticed this problem in many other V-Tech phones. They tend to pick up other conversations

4. My biggest PEEVE with this phone, is the fact that during a call there is static. The calls are not crystal clear at all. I avoided purchasing V-Tech phones in the past because I have known this to be common with them. Changing the channels is annoying too, because it briefly interrupts the call to "SCAN" the area only to find more static.

I hope this explanation is helpful...I research purchasing phones quite often, and the only reason why this phone received 2 stars is because of the TeleZapper feature. Which I didn't really have the opportunity to take advantage of.

HAPPY PHONE HUNTING!!
