HOWEVER, THAT BEING SAID, IT IS NOT SUBSTANTIAL AND I DO EXPECT THAT I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE SOONER THAN LATER. THE TELEPHONE IS FINE FOR MY NEEDS. IT IS A GOOD BASIC PHONE WITH MOST OF THE FEATURES I NEED.
This was good for telling pesky telemarketers to go away.There is no battery backup so you have to reset the clock after each power interruption. This is a simple home answering machine. It assumes you set the clock on the hour and sets the minutes to zero. You have to set the clock on the hour because there is no way to enter the minutes. It is made by a company other than AT&T but has paid to use the AT&T logo.Some glaring defects are the lack of a back lit display and the dismal audio quality on the speaker output.There is only one outgoing message available. My old AT&T model had three choices, one of which was played only to a user specified calling number.
After two years of putting up with it, the last time it did this to me I just put my fist through it and threw it away. The message retrieval would also often become hung - one could not listen to or delete the messages. AT&T should be embarassed to have their name on this telephone. This telephone is terrible. The buttons - usually the '2'- would often stick, even though they're just electronic contacts, resulting in a contant squeal of the tone while it dialed one digit 10 times.
It is a good price for the quality of the phone. This is a great telephone but I would like for the caller ID to light up.
Overall, this phone is pretty good except they could have picked better ringtone choices and make the ringer louder.
