Remanufactured VTech VT-2461 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System

Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
In the VTech 2461, you'll find deluxe features without the deluxe price. Offering a digital answering machine, built-in speakerphone, and options for up to four handsets, this single-line system is an ideal choice for busy households, or ones that might become busier. A four-line display provides plenty of room for information in the speed-dial registry, while the 2.4 GHz operation supplies a signal strong enough to use the handset inside or out on the lawn.

Expandable to four handsets (one included), handset-to-handset operation allows families to find each other throughout the house, and the conference-call capabilities are convenient when out-of-town relatives call. This factory-refurbished model is also backed by a 90-day warranty.

What's in the Box
Base unit, handset, battery pack and cover, AC adapter, telephone line cord, instructions, warranty/service information

Note: This model is no longer in production, so you may have difficulty finding additional handsets that are compatible with the phone's expandability feature.

1 out of 5 stars Bad experience.........2005-10-26

Though I charged the hand set for more than 15 hours, it did not work. So I have to send it back. Amazon did a excellent service.

1 out of 5 stars remanufactured.......2005-08-15

I should have known I own a convenience store and my phone card vendor talked me into these remanufactured nokia phones sort of like tracfone. They sold really well but the problems customers had with the phones, like holding a charge or reception was beyond my control and the vendor would not accept the responsibility of rectifying the situation

5 out of 5 stars Never had 1 single problem.......2005-06-03

I had this phone for nearly 3 years and just recently it got struck by lightning and doesn't work anymore. I went and bought 2 phones that same night at Walmart (they didnt have these vtechs), they were panasonic I believe ...and all 3 were GARBAGE. Made me miss my vtech even more.

I've dropped this phone plenty of times, had water splashed on it, and other hazards of the home and it still worked perfectly. Never a drop out, never static, never any buzzing when walking outside.

I'll be buying a brand new base and extensions soon.

5 out of 5 stars Still the best simple, basic phone .......2005-01-15

I'd gone through about 8 phones before finding v-tech generally to be the best and most logical. I had the 2461 system which I adored, but after 4 yrs, had to replace, so I upgraded to the 5866, which I hate, and I will try and find another old 2461.
The 2461's design is simple and sleek. The hand set nesltes comfortably in the hand. The range is about the same, as the 5866, even though the 5866 is a 5.8g.
On the 2461 the normal, headset & speakerphone volume and clarity are excellent. The handsets are wall mountable. For the search through the phonebook for #s you just keep the key pressed to advance.
Both phones keep the date and OGM through power outages, with the spare battery installed in the base unit. This is an important feature if you have "spotty" elect service, which I've only found on V-Techs, and is not mentioned in any phone specs. Both also do not display the incoming phone #, even though I have caller ID, and the #s are in my phone book.
If you want to "play" with your phones, and don't mind spending a day programming each one, this may not be the phone for you, but for a good looking, simple, basic, ergonomic, easy to use phone - the 2461 is still the best.

1 out of 5 stars Don't get this model VTech.......2004-11-13

We have used VTech phones for years with excellent performance. However, this model/unit was a terrible disappointment. The answering machine base unit failed within 1 month after purchase. The handset is not compatible with other VT2400 series model base units, so we can't use it with our other base. Go ahead and get a VTech system, just not this one.
