AT&T E2562 2.4 GHz DSS 2-Line Expandable Cordless Phone with Answering System and Corded Base

Summary: Just Terrible!
Review: This phone is just terrrible. The answering machine sounds like someone with marbles in their mouth. A $19 answering machine sounds better. What's worse than that is that inexplicably callers get cut off in the middle of their message. Also you can be assured that if line two rings while line 1 is taking a message the answering machine cuts off. Switching lines or using the built in address book is totally non-intuitive. It reminds me of the original calculators using reverse polish notation. (no slur intended) Normally, when one wants to make a call, we pick up the receiver and dial right? With this phone you must select your line, scroll through the address book to find the number you wish to call, go through the menu system and only then pick up the handset and it auto-dials. I could go on and on but lets just leave it at JUST TERRIBLE.

Summary: PLEASE PROVIDE A WORKING SYSTEM
Review: We tested Model 2462, two different bases, cut off messages. They sent us this upgraded model, E2562. Switching lines is very difficult at the base, however, not a problem that can't be worked around. But, when line one is placed on hold to answer line two, line one is disconnected. Not acceptable! Especially in a business environment. Too bad, because the voice quality is great. So far only one day of lost messages (hopefully a fluke).
