AT&T - 5.8GHz Cordless Phone System with Digital Answering System

We decided on this AT&T after wrestling with all kinds of wireless conflicts in the house and pathetic experiences with several top-of-line panasonic phones that were wrought with flaws. It has been a really great phone so far after 4 months. The speakerphone on the handset was my #1 option and it works great with dedicated side volume control. The size is just right and all controls are intuitive. The display is nice, but as handsets tend to float around the house it would be nice to be able to name them, otherwise the intercom function is only as good as your memory of which handset is in which room. A minor annoyance is that I haven't figured a way to prepend a 1 when trying to redial a number from caller ID. We've had no problems with sound quality, range or battery life. We're quite happy with the phone and would definitely recommend it.

We've used this system almost a month and it works in our home. Our floorplan makes it difficult to hear the phone ring from one room to another. I like that the handsets don't require a jack because now we can place them wherever there's an ac outlet. We get clear reception with the 5.8GHz. I have one in our home office next to the pc, with clarity. The intercom saves lots of steps, and yelling for the kids! Now we can easily call any handset we want by using the intercom feature. Other nice features are the directory, similar to our cells where we can store phone numbers, speakerphone works great on each handset, choice of ringtones for the different handsets, and the lighted keypad is appreciated. I will be adding more handsets very soon!

This is a very nice cordless phone system. Many of the features are stored into the base so that each cordless phone will be able to use it. Like, the phone book. Enter a # in any of the phones and each phone will be able to use it. Caller id allows you enter a name for that phone number, color screen is clear and easy to read. Many ringer tones to choose from and color backgrounds. My only drawback is for anyone who wears a digital hearing aid. There's a loud buzzing when you use your hearing aid t-coil. I found out this is because of the DSS digital communication method in the phone. Other wise a all around great cordless phone

I read all the reviews on this web site on all the portable phones, and this is the one that I ended up choosing. I was looking for a phone that came in a pack of 2 or three because I live in an apartment and don't really have a place for more that that. I am very happy with my decision to spend the extra money and get this phone. Everyone I talk to on it says that we sound so much cleared. The speaker phone works from across the room that is about 20 feet across, it sounds like the phone is being held. You can't even tell when it is on speaker. The only thing I am not crazy about is the light on the phone stays on while it is on the charger. If you take it off the charger it will go off. It feels like I have a nightlight on in my bedroom now.Besides that it is a great buy and worth the money.

This system makes life easier in so many ways. The handsets each have a "Clarity" feature that makes the elderly or hearing impaired able to distinguish words more easily. There is also a feature that Slows Down the speach AND amplifies it (hearing aid compatible too.) The intercom feature and the different ringer volumes for each handset make the bedroom handsets easier to live with if you get early am or late pm calls, that won't make you hit the ceiling when they ring. Add the fact that it doesn't interfere with my Mac Airport Extreme wireless network, and you've got a heck of alot of great features for under a hundred bucks!

These phones are nice and serve the purpose well. The color screen is a nice feature and is easy to read. You can also change the screen background if you want. The keypad is easy to use with its larger buttons. The intercom is also a nice feature. No problems with reception in my 2-story house.

I don't normally write reviews but the quality of this phone set made me change my mind. We bought these about 6 weeks ago. They worked well for about a week and then started giving us problems. The phones don't seem to play well with others. Particularly DSL. There is so much static that we frequently hang up and dial with our cell phones. The most frustrating problem is a two part problem. These phones will not hang up. No matter how many times you hit the off button the phones stay on. They will stay connected long after the party I’m calling hangs up and after I hang up. It will hold on to the call for hours unless you unplug the base station power cord. The weirdest problem is that it sometimes will turn itself on and connect when it is just sitting there. It stays on listening to the dial tone so long that the phone line goes silent (except for the ever present static) and it stays connected for hours. You can't tell that is has done this by looking at the phone, and once it connects you can't receive any calls. Again the only solution is to unplug the power cord and let the phone sit. These phones are unplugged more than they are plugged in now. It is very frustrating.

All I can say is that my family and I love these phones. It's the best product I bought in a long time. I recommended it to everyone. I'm so happy that I bought it. Good phones are hard to find but this one is a winner for me. I've had it now for about 3 months and I can't complaint. I think you will be very happy also.
