Summary: If only it would ring!
Review: Best thing about this phone is its appearance -- really cute compact design. Apart from that.... the ringing is weird, just as described by reviewers before me; there's a phone directory but it organises numbers numerically, ie #1, #2 etc, instead of alphabetically. How are you meant to remember that Aunt Lucille is #16 and Cousin Gary is #9? Also, I found that its range wasn't great, not as good as phones I've had in the past. I hope AT&T reads all these reviews and does something with the complaints, but keeps the size and design of this phone.

Summary: Do Not Buy this Phone
Review: Do not buy this phone at all. The only reason to have a phone is to pick up call, or to make calls. Many times this phone cannot find a "suitable" channel to use for calls, so the owner is left unable to either make calls or pick up calls. A waste of money and a stain on the otherwise good AT&T name.

Summary: Great phone
Review: Do yourself a favor & pick one of these up before they are discontinued, this is an excellent phone, easy to use in every way. The only reason I need a new one is because I dropped my last one too many times.

Summary: Answers poorly, voice quality a bit disappointing
Review: I bought this phone because I wanted a voice-mail indicator, because it was attractive, and because so many other phones' ringers are shrill, piercing or just unpleasant, and this phone offered a choice of four different ringing sounds for all calls.

I was pleased with this phone's ringers.

Unfortunately, when answering a call, the phone omits the first three to five seconds of what I say while the handset scans around for the base unit! My callers hear dead silence while I stand there waiting for my handset to activate.

The voice quality is somewhat poorer than the Vtech 900-MHz analog phone that I owned previously. And in my tiny efficiency apartment, the AT&T phone's signal fades if I step behind a wall (closet or vestibule).

The voice mail indicator light is too dim to be seen in anything but a low-light setting.

Finally, the phone's menu options are a bit limited -- the volume control is not very flexible, the Caller ID memory buffer cannot be cleared.

Overall the phone is functional, but a big disappointment considering the AT&T brand name. The long delay in answering a call is intolerable -- after just a month or two, I'm back at Amazon looking for another phone.

Summary: Do not buy this phone
Review: I have never had a problem with an AT&T phone before, but the problems with this phone are endless. I had 3 of them, thinking I just had a bad one each time. The phone works great for a while then just stops ringing for no apparent reason. Once this starts, you can no longer get any response from any of the keys.

Summary: Spend money on another phone
Review: I purchased this phone about 9 months ago and have been very dissatisfied from the beginning. I will list the pros and cons of this phone.

Pro's- 1. Compact design is very ergonomic. 2. Large easy to read display.

Con's

1. Long pause between the time you hit talk and you hear a dial tone or the person on the other line.

2. Tone sounds are very loud! This becomes very annoying.

3. The menu options are extremely confusing. The phone has many great customizable options, yet they are to complicated to make them very functional.

4. Many problems even getting a dial tone or answering calls. From day one sometimes the phone will say it is out of range even when I am within inches of the base. This becomes very annoying when trying to answer a phone call and I cant. I ended up having to buy a corded phone to place right next to the ATT 900mhz so that I could be sure to answer it.

5. The Page function only pages the phone with one quick short beep. This makes this function almost useless. You need two people to make this work, one person to continue pressing page and the other to search for it.

Conclusion-

Obviously my problems with the out of range message are a manufacturing defect. Maybe others have better luck. Yet, all other problems I find with the phone came standard. I think my next phone will be a Panasonic
