Summary: Inferior quailty
Review: All I can say is that the phone has horrible sound quality and it is annoying to talk on it. Lots of crackles and hissing. I would highly recommend NOT buying this phone.

Review: Stumbled across this product as another VTech product was in the daily Gold Box offerings. I have had mine for well over one year now, and was surprised to see a few less than favorable reviews for this model. I have had absolutely no problems with mine here in Korea--and it shares the phone line with a DSL modem---and thus is filtered to allow data and voice--no problems at all with sound quality. Perhaps some with funny sound may want to try relocating the unit--that may help. Overall---for the price--I think you will be hard pressed to find a better value anywhere.

Summary: Pretty good
Review: The phone is simple to set up and use. The sound on it is good. The answering machine works great. I have had no problems with the phone yet. I'm especially glad that it was a Christmas gift.

Review: This phone has a horrible sound quality - it is always hissing and fuzzy. The features are all pretty nice, except you can't get the phone book to go in alphabetical order - it is all in the random order you put the numbers in which is very inconvenient. The caller id was great, but the little screen-cover kept flopping off as soon as I started using the phone. I am returning this phone today!

Review: This phone has horrible sound quality -- conversations are turned to "huh?", "what?"... after 8 months of wrangling with VTech, they finally sent me a 2468 model which is MUCH better sound quality. I wouldn't buy another 9161 if my life depended on it!

Review: This phone is obviously a cheaply made product. It yet again proves that you usually get what you pay for.
