Description:

Transform your home into a cordless network with the AT&T 2440 2.4-GHz cordless telephone. This phone combines 2.4 GHz power with multihandsetcapability. That means you can use this phone with up to four optional AT&T2400 handsets. Plus, you can use the intercom function with the digitalspeakerphone to talk to someone in another room hands-free.

All this with the power of 2.4 GHz digital spread spectrum technology, forsuperior power, security, and clarity. The AT&T 2440 transmits on the FMrange above 2.4 GHz, a less crowded section of the spectrum far above therange accessible to most scanners. The phone automatically scans 94channels to find the clearest and strongest signal.

Digital spread spectrum (DSS) technology adds to security and greater soundquality with a concept invented, in part, by 1940s screen actress HedyLamarr. A DSS cordless phone switches rapidly from frequency to frequencyat random, using less power and encountering less interference.

The AT&T 2440 also allows you to screen your calls with caller ID and callwaiting/caller ID.

CallerID/call waiting allows you to view call information on an incoming callwhile you're on another call.

Dual keypads allow you to dial either from thehandset or the base. Carry the handset around with you using the includedbelt clip.
