Summary: Always Buzzing
Review: This is the worst phone I've ever bought. Every time I talk to someone they say "Is there something wrong with the line? I can barely hear you over the buzzing". It's less than a year old and we've tried on new batteries, charging for longer periods, etc. Both handsets buzz and as a home-based professional it's embarrasing! I'm shopping for a new phone right now!

Summary: Very Disappointing
Review: Decided to buy this unit over a Uniden one...what a mistake! I'll simply list the problems/shortcomings we've had/noticed in our 4 months of ownership:1. Batteries die in 16 hours without any use!
2. Low Battery warning tone occurs 10 seconds before they die
3. Playback of digital recorder is poor
4. Reception/transmission is worse than our old Panasonic 900 Mhz
5. Buttons small and too close together I truly regret purchasing this item.

Summary: Worst purchase ever
Review: I purchased the 2255 phone as a christmas gift for my wife. First, the phone arrived after New Years Day. Then it did not work properly. I tried to contact AT&T and that was a joke. When I finally did reach a person, after about 40 minutes, I was switched to several people, who evidently have never had any training in "customer service". I was finally told to contact the supplier of the phones. It started all over again. After many problems, time, and inconsiderations, I was supplied a label to return the phone for service, which I did. Now I have contacted the supplies again, and they know nothing about the phone. My advice is to stay away from this perticular phone, AT&T, and their supplier. Was an AT&T fan, but I have since cancelled all of my services with AT&T. I am also out of a phone and the $150.00 I paid to AT&T

Summary: Not Usable For Business
Review: I run a business out of my home. The idea of an extra phone appealed to me, but that's about it. The battery life is abysmal and I always keep the phone on the charger when I'm not using it. You'll be lucky to get 20-30 minutes before the battery runs out of power. Worst of all, there is no warning, it just drops your call. Not very professional!. I finally gave up and put this phone in my vacation home to discourage long phone calls (it works great for that). Bought a Panasonic and am very pleased with it. Stay away from AT&T!

Summary: Simply doesn't work
Review: Like the others, I bought this phone for the convenience, features & brand. I can tell you that after 8 months, the base handset has virutally died, the "DIGITAL" answering machine garbles messages, and the range is minimal. Sound quality is deplorable !! I have to admit that I am looking for a new phone and you can bet that it won't be an AT&T.
Save your money and buy some other brand.

Summary: Nice features - horrible sound
Review: This phone looks great - on paper that is. It really is too bad that a phone as packed with features like this would be so poor in sound quality that it is nearly unusable. I have people on the other end of the line asking me "what is wrong with your phone" all the time, and then when I switch to a regular phone, I get the "that's much better" and the horrible hum, buzz, and distant voice all go away. The answering machine must use the lowest quality digital chip available, since messages people leave are very muddy and hard to understand. Also, trying to record your outgoing message is nearly impossible and usually ends up sounding like a robot or badly distorted. I know that it is not just my phone since I know someone else with the same model, and she has all of these same problems. Other issues with this model: phone handsets lose programming and must have battery removed then replaced to reset. Also, figuring out the programming of the phone is not easy. I can't even get it to do a simple "redial" and I am an engineer! I wish I hadn't bought it.

Summary: Nice design, but...
Review: The features are all that most people need. Convenience factor is excellent. Sadly, the sound quality on the phone is poor, very noisy, and this a constant irritation. I moved finally to a much quieter Panasonic model. I find it strange that such a good design in terms of features would have a fatal flaw in its operation. My advice: look elsewhere.

Summary: waste of money
Review: The clarity of both the handsets and the answering machine is awful. After putting up with this system for nearly a year, the only positive comment I can offer is that it promotes family time as we all gather around, straining to decipher the recorded messages.

Summary: Headset problems
Review: Purchased ... 2 months ago; now there is a constant problem with using the headset. Static, no one can hear me, interrupts conversation so callers can't hear others on conference calls.
I'm very disappointed; wish I'd read the tips to save receipts and packing materials before I'd purchased. Threw it all away, and this phone will follow soon!!!

Summary: 2255 - Worst Phone to Purchase
Review: Purchased 2255 phone and had one handset that did not work. Tried all of the suggestions provided and still no luck. Absolutely no response from ATT on this. They do not have a "Customer Service" Dept. but they let you play phone tag with a computer. The equipment does not work and apparently ATT does not care.
