Summary: No Speakerphone
Review: I haven't had many problems with this phone but thought that it had a speakerphone function because Amazon.com groups it with the cordless speakerphones - It does not, so don't buy this phone if you're looking for a speakerphone as well.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Phone has an echo
Review: I bought this phone after returning a Panasonic with the same features and an extra handset also. I returned the panasonic because it had an echo, and i couldnt cradle it between my ear and shoulder without pressing any buttons with my face. I bought this at&t phone because It seemed to cradle between my ear and shoulder fine and has all the features i want, but it also has an echo that is unacceptable. I am not sure if it is the 2.4 models or maybe has to do with the extra hand set. ANNOYING

Summary: Poor Quality
Review: I was originally attracted to this phone for several reason - the main one being it is an AT&T phone and answering device. To my dissapointment, the phone had a perpetual echo. Whether it is was the main phone or the second handset, you would always here an echo. At times, I found the echo to be very harsh and I would hold the phone away from my ear. As far as the answering device, the out-going message was equally hard on the ear and sounded muffled. Unfortunately, I returned the phone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pleasantly surprised
Review: I bought this phone without much confidence given the range of reviews. However, it turned out to be a great phone overall. Clarity has been exceptional both on the phone and the answering machine, with adequate volume on both outgoing and incoming messages. The range has been great as well. I've been able to walk around the neighborhood for several hundred feet from the house without any loss of signal.

My main beef with the phone is that there is no battery backup for the settings on the base unit. You have to go through a cumbersome process to reset all your preferences.

Summary: Very Disappointing Quality and Features
Review: I bought this phone because it offered great value and features, but things haven't worked out at all.

Most important, one of my handsets stopped charging after eight months, so it had to be sent in for replacement. After nine months, the other handset would die after just minutes off the base. My experience with AT&T support was just a nightmare -- nothing but delay and contradictions. I expected much better.

Even if the phone worked, it has a few quirks that drive me crazy. The outgoing message sounds too digital and is hard to understand. It is difficult to tell when you have old messages on the machine, so if my wife checks the machine first, then I don't even know there is a message waiting (my old AT&T machine let you know how many old messages were waiting). And the redial button must be pushed BEFORE you turn the phone on -- a method so backwards that AT&T had to include a special instruction sheet letting customers know since they must have received so many complaints. And finally, the shape of the phone is just not comfortable at all -- they sacraficed a sleek design for comfort.

Unfortunately, this is my third bad quality experience with AT&T -- and my last. It's a shame to see a great phone company go down the tubes.

Summary: NEVER buy this phone
Review: My husband and I were attracted to this phone because of the multiple handsets and low price. The AT&T name was also a factor. We are VERY disappointed.... We have only had a short time and are preparing to throw it away and buy something else. The phone has an echo frequently when you are using it, and it seems to have poor reception in that it's often difficult to hear the other person talking. Also, when the handset is picked up, the caller ID disappears from the displey. BUT the worst thing is that it periodically will emit a shrill tone (usually in the middle of the night) which continues until you press the talk button several times. I'm not sure what is causing this but I'm close to smashing the thing!!! PLEASE do NOT buy this phone if you value an undisturbed night of sleep!!!

Summary: Some nice features for the price, but poor performance.
Review: I was attracted by this multi-handset phone's low price and many features, however my wife immediately noticed an echo when using the handsets. We could have lived with that, however we also noticed that reception was poor when using the handsets away from the base. I tried using the spare handset in my home office (less than 100 ft. from base) and everyone I spoke with said that my voice kept cutting out. Additionally, battery life is poor. I'll be returning this unit and buying a Vtech or Siemens.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Handset won't pick up clear signal 40 feet away
Review: haven't tried the call waiting and the answering machine part works ok but if your not within 20 feet of the base with the handset you get (out of service) or if it does connect you get static
the booklet with it tells you to move away from appliances etc to get a clear signal
If I wanted to get up to go answer the phone I wouldn't want a cordless one geez

Summary: Caller ID Not Effective
Review: When handset is lifted from the charger base, the caller ID display would disappear with no chance of getting it back. Also, I could not use a programmed in long distance card pin number in because memory could not be re-accessed after initial dialing. Also, answering function is not integrated with caller ID nor with handsets. I returned the unit after one day.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great phone
Review: This is a great phone. It is extremely customizeable and easy to use. You get two handsets and two chargers (one standalone and one on the base with the answering machine). Sound quality is fnatastic. I was able to go a few hundred feet before it went out of range. I have used cordelss phones i the past that got static and interference just by turning my head, not the case with this.

Some nice features include: storing a name and number in memory and once you enter it on one phone, the other phone automatically receives that as well, adjustable ring volume (including ringer off), change the style of ring for the base and each individual phone, intercom system between two phones, and an easy to use answering service.

Highly recomended.
