AT&T - CL84202 DECT 6.0 Expandable Phone System with Digital Answering System - Black/Silver

I was looking to replace a 35 year old office telephone with a new landline office phone. I required that the new telephone must have caller ID and a large display. The at&t DEDCT6.0 meets my requirements and so much more. Along with an outstanding wired base unit, the system comes with two additional handsets. The three system components all provide access to the built-in digital answering system. Each handset is also equipped with a speakerphone and its own individual directory database. Setup was quick and easy with the provided instruction manual. Customer adjustable settings are too numerous to mention here and the tonal quality is excellent!

Obviously home phones are going the way of the dinosaur but if you own a home or run a business you definitely still need one of these. Bought this because it was a simple, easy to use set. Great value in that you get three phones (the base plus two additional handsets). Handsets work well, good clarity, great range. The phone also has good features such as caller id, voicemail, speakerphone, etc. The base message center is easy to read and well lit. All-in-all, a good phone system for the price. The essential features are easy to use and easy to set up, right out of the box.

I always called mom and she would never answer the phone. My mom is visually impaired and has a hard time reading small caller IDs. This phone announces in loud voice the name of the caller. In addition it has a big screen that she can actually read! It also brings two extra phones. Before her phones were always lost or uncharged. This phone has a cord phone. Phone never moves so she always knows its location. In addition she has the cordless phones that gives her the ability to move around or sit somewhere comfortable. I love this set. Now my mom never misses a family members call :)

I bought this phone to replace one that required a new $40 battery for the remote unit, this ATT uses replacement batteries that cost only about $9. It works as an old fashioned land line phone, the base working when the power goes out, even though some of the information on this phone says it does not. This was one of the most important features for me. The range is very good and so far works well outside at the extremes of my front and back yards (about 75 ft each way from base unit in house). It has good basic features, I don't need anything too fancy. The sound quality of the message recorder could be a little better, but is best on the highest treble setting, with the lower pitch settings it is a little hard to discern the audio on messages. The earpiece on the landline base is very comfortable also, the Uniden model this replaced was very uncomfortable to use for any length of time and would make my ear go numb; this one is fine. Overall I am happy with this purchase.

Running a business with a wireless phone is sometimes challenging but with this corded base with speaker phone I can easily handle my phone calls with no loss or degradation due to wireless signals being interfered with. The two extra wireless phones also gives me the ability to extend my VOIP phone throughout the house in the bedroom and kitchen. The caller id announcing the caller is nice as I do not have to interrupt my work to check the phone unless I recognize the announced name/number.
