Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of VTech 2528 2.4 GHz Analog Cordless Phone with TeleZapper and Caller ID
Customer Review: zaps telemarketers & messages
Summary: 2 Stars
I was very hopefull with this product purchase a week ago. I read the manual thoroughly, as most electronics require. I like the feature of "zapping" predictive dialers, but the fact is, when the tone comes across the phone line, my digital answering machine thinks someone is picking up the line and shuts off. That means, if someone were to call, it would ring 4 times and "zap", then cut off. How effective is this really?Customer Review: Mediocre at best
Summary: 2 Stars
This product fails in its basic functions: sound quality is very poor, and battery life is low. However, the Telezapper does work.So, if you want a Telezapper-phone that can't be used as a phone because of poor performance, this is the item for you.
Customer Review: Hard to hear people
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this phone about three weeks ago, the first thing I dislike is that when you answer the phone you hear a beep and so does the caller-its trying to zap every single call which is very annoying. It's hard to hear people-I turned the volume up and it was to loud theres not a good setting for the volume. The caller ID is very hard to read. There has not been a change at all from telemarketers still receiving alot. The only good thing about this phone is the range, although if you are outside not facing the charger the clearity is gone. Would not recommend this phone to anyone.Customer Review: Exactly what I had hoped for
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this phone after reading a lot of reviews from various sources. So far (after four weeks), I am quite pleased with my purchase. The clarity is fine, even when I'm near my computer equipment and microwave. And I've gone into the yard without any degradation in signal. The battery lasts all day, and I keep it off the cradle all day. And finally, yes, the Telezapper does work. I've noticed a decrease in the number of telemarketing calls in the month I've owned this phone. My two cents...Customer Review: V-Tech 2528 2.4 GHzNOT
Summary: 2 Stars
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!!
