Review on AT&T TL86109 TL86109 Two-Line DECT 6.0 Phone System with Bluetooth - Enhanced Communication and Connectivity by Kim Bardgett

Best 2 Line Speakerphone

I purchased an AT&T TL86109 2 Line DECT 6.0 phone after researching the systems available. I work far from our headquarters in the software industry and spend four or more hours on the phone every day. I bought this phone to replace a seven year old Panasonic phone that was starting to fail. After using this phone for a week I am very happy with my purchase. In my situation, I use the speakerphone extensively. I often had to record project meetings to take notes. Therefore, speaker and microphone quality were in the foreground. The sound quality is very good, even better than Panasonic. Setup was easy, I plugged everything in, charged overnight and registered the phones with no issues. The conference function was clear and easy to use. I connected my mobile phone via bluetooth and within minutes my contacts were uploaded. What attracted me to this phone is that if I ever give up my landline, I can use this phone through my cell phone. This eliminates the need to always carry my phone with me when I'm at home. I put a Bluetooth headset on my Christmas list. I only have three complaints: Intensity of "blue" light on phones. I had to turn my phone away from the bed because it was so bright. I could take a Sharpie and black it out. Next, I need to update outgoing messages every week. To do this I have to navigate through three levels of menus, should be easier. The other deletes line messages. If you miss a call, you will receive a message on the display. Instead of having you delete the message, you have to clear the log to make it go away. After a week of use, it met my expectations and worked better than expected.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors appear
