Whether you're actually a teenager, shopping for one, or just cultivating "teenness," VTech's stylish, 2.4 GHz gz2434--affectionately dubbed the "teen phone"--is just the cordless device for you. It has a trendy look and a fun color scheme, debuting in vibrant orange and offering changeable faceplates in five fashionable colors and patterns. The gz2434 also includes durable rubber detailing and fun styling on the handset.
Six distinctive teen-inspired pop-song ringer melodies alert you to incoming calls. Each of the phone's polyphonic ringer tones features eight instruments, the ensemble sound making the melodies sound more like the actual songs. In addition, the gz2434 comes with composer software with which you can program (and designate as ringer tones) up to seven additional favorite songs using MIDI files.
And, for those late night calls when privacy is a must--whether you're listening to music and can't hear the ringer or you've silenced the phone out of courtesy for others--the teen phone's antenna and keypad become flashing visual ringers. The VTech gz2434 also incorporates playful animated displays that signal waiting voicemail messages when the handset is charging and also whenever there's a caller match from the built-in 50-name phonebook directory.
As for the features one expects to find in a contemporary phone, the gz2434 offers call waiting/caller ID (requires service through your local phone company), a 50-name and -number phonebook directory, and a universal (2.5 mm) headset jack so you can enjoy private, mobile, hands-free conversations (headset not included). High, 2.4 GHz analog transmission offers greater range and less chance of interference than you'd get with a standard 900 MHz cordless.

Not just for teens.......2005-03-12
1. The colorful base and handset covers make this phone immensely easy to locate in our dark log cabin.
2. The 007 themesong ring is just cool, on the flip side I wish they had included a "normal" ringtone along with all of the cell phone-like ringtones.
3. The handset is very comfortable to hold. The shape is nice and the rubberized areas make it easier to grip.
4. It's very simple to change the volume to the desired level on this phone.
5. The flashing lights when it rings are also great for locating it.
6. We have had one minor problem with it. The light that is supposed to indicate that a message is waiting does not always work. We have found that it's best to pick up the phone and check for the message waiting tone our phone company uses.
7. Also, a small pet peeve. The phone stays on my bedside table, and the charging light on the base was a little too bright for my liking. So, my husband took care of it by using trusty duct tape to cover the charging indicator light.
I would recommend this phone to anyone who is bored with the standard cordless phone colors available or who wants a phone that is easier to see in their house. Also, I believe this is an ideal phone for someone who has had a stroke because it is easier to hold on to than plastic phone models. Overall the VTech 2.4GHz - Teen Phone - Cordless Telephone - GZ2434 has proven to be a quality product at a reasonable price.
