1 out of 5 stars Horrible Product.......2002-08-17

I bought this product months ago and it has been nothing but trouble, it screechs whenever you try to pick up the handset from the base. This is very difficult to handle. V-Tech has the worst telephones i have ever seen. From everyone I know that has a V-Tech product has had serious difficulties with it, and end up throwing it out. Also have you notice how short V-Tech products are on the market?

2 out of 5 stars Disappointing performance.......2001-09-09

After having bought a Panasonic cordless 2-line phone for my teenage daughter for about $160, I decided to save some money and get this Vtech phone for the kitchen for about half the price. I am sorry. The features work OK, but the sound quality is very disappointing. Our family of five uses the phone a lot, and my father-in-law is hard of hearing. He can't understand us from this phone.

3 out of 5 stars Cheap but effective.......2001-07-20

When I started with my most recent employer, I was expected to set up a home office (the HQ was in MA). So I headed out to OfficeMax and started picking up office supplies. One of the things I was going to need was a two-line phone. After browsing for a while, and finding that the prices were all over the map, I settled on a lower-cost phone that seemed to have all the basic features I needed.

The VTech 9241 was the phone I expected, but with a little less quality than I wanted. The first major problem to pop up was the charging of the handset. When in it's cradle, I had to make sure it was seated just right to make the contacts touch, and charge the handset. I couldn't just plop it back into the main unit. And how did I find this out? When I went to use it and found out it was dead. There is a charging indicator, but it's a dim LED underneath a shiny smooth piece of plastic that houses some of the function buttons. In the end, this makes all three LED's that are underneath it (power, charging, spare batt) almost impossible to see from any distance away.

So okay, I know to watch carefully for the charging light. But since I had to wait for my handset to charge, I had to use the speaker phone, and that's where I found the next problem. The speaker phone is ultra sensitive. Even the slightest whisper set it off. And when the speaker phone hears something, it stops playing the incoming audio. This means that I have to sit perfectly still, and not make a whisper when I'm on a conference call using the speaker phone or else I'll miss out on what the presenter is saying.

Finally, when my handset was charged back up, I found that it's transmission quality was mediocre at best. There's lots of pops and clicks, and distant static - and that's when using only one line. I give presentations over the phone to hundreds of people in a single sitting, and static that distracts from my presentation is seriously disturbing.

But I can't say the phone hasn't served it's purpose. I use the various features, mute, memory, etc. often. The volume control for controlling the volume of incoming audio on the speaker is easily accessible (although when I push the button I get no incoming audio on the speaker because I just made a sound). The handset has a similar volume control on right where the thumb goes which makes this easy to control as well. The belt clip and headset work great in place of the speaker phone, for giving presentations as you walk around the house.

The one feature it doesn't have on the handset is a mute button - that is only on the base unit. I'm not sure I understand this, and would use this feature often. All the other functions are available on the handset - why not mute?

So if you're just conducting regular business calls using this phone, it's great. But if you're expecting a little more - shop a little more.

2 out of 5 stars Not a bad phone for the money, but..........2001-04-04

For the cost of the phone, the VTech 9241 isn't bad with a reasonable number of features for a basic telephone. The sound quality is actually pretty good except when the 2nd line is in use--no cross talk, but plenty of annoying clicks and "hits" that can be heard in the VTech's handset. Ten number memory speed dial memory is inadequate and no speed dial listing on the set or cradle is also big negative. Also, unless you sit on top of the telephone the button descriptions and LEDs for Mute, Conf., Hold, etc. are impossible to see--even from 2' away. If I had it to do over again, I think I would shop a little more.

4 out of 5 stars Vtech 9241 cordless 2line phone is a winner........2000-07-04

This is the second Vtech I have purchased. The 9241 has a small footprint on the desk and mounts easily on the wall. This phone operates easily from the handset or base. The phone number lines are backlit but not the numbers. Still, the number buttons are easy to read and the person with large fingers will have no problem entering numbers. Enter numbers either by the base or the handset. Just select the line and dial. The handset fits the hand well and is very light. I use a headset which plugs into the handset. Voices are clear using the speakerphone, handset or headset. I walk around the house and out in the yard using the headset without problems. I use the phone for long technical support calls and really appreciate the headset option and portability.

The phone does not have an answering machine but my other Vtech phone handles that chore.

If you do not like to read instructions, need two line capability and a headset option get this phone. Just plug in the line and make calls.
