For the money, this is the best phone system I can think of for home or small business use.The 2431 (base unit) has a speakerphone, which makes it two phones in one, as it has the ability to intercom between the base unit and the handheld.Then we bought a 2420, so we have a 3-point intercom system.As we live in an older home, the intercom and the ability to place a phone where we wanted without running phone cords was important to us, and I spend a lot less time screaming around the house to call the family members.We will purchase two more 2420s in the future, to intercom easily throughout the house.The 2420s run off the base unit, and don't need a phone line, which is fantastic not to have to pay the phone company to run lines where we want the phones.Also, the VTech handsets each have Caller ID, which is a very handy feature, they show when another handset is in use (in case you don't have call-waiting, at least you know when someone is excessively tying up the hone line), and the speakerphone on each handset is perhaps my favorite feature.We have eliminated all the corded phones in the house in favor of this system, which has clear connections even outdoors, and two houses away from us.I can send the kids to the neighbors, and can page them from the 2431 via the intercom when they need to come home.Best of all, the original 2431 handset we bought flew off the hot tub in a sudden windstorm, the battery and battery cover landed in the pool (managed to catch the phone itself), and after the battery dried, it still worked!A minor ding on the antenna did not affect how the unit performed.We are all pleased with the features of this phone.

Some time ago, I invested a considerable sum in my phone system, only to find a day later that AT&T was no more!My husband has MS and it was critical that he has handsets in multiple places in our homeThis year, when one handset broke, I was shocked to find that AT&T was charging almost what I paid the the entire system for a single handset!The refurbished handset I purchased on Amazon works like a charm.Thanks.
