Works well, only minor complaints

If you still have a landline this is one of the best phones to connect to. The base station's corded phone works during a power outage; The cordless handset has good reception and sound quality (both better than the Uniden CEZAI 998 DECT system I had previously); the answering machine at the base station is quite easy to use; Small wall power supplies use very little power. My complaints are minor. The cordless extension phone's screen can only display two menu items at a time, and it has twoโ€ฆ

  • Great design
Cons
  • Dumpy

Outage in less than a week

I really liked the phone from the start. The display is very easy to read, as is the large button. Setup is pretty easy. Generally well designed. Unfortunately, he died less than a week later. First, the display began to flicker and dim. Then bad noise and echo on the line and then a complete shutdown. Unplugging the power cord for a while seemed to get it working for a few minutes, but eventually it died again. I ordered a replacement so I hope it was an accident. One thing that annoys me isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Everything is fine

DO NOT BUY this phone!

This phone has good features and is very attractive. Here the good news ends. Problems: 1. The corded phone won't stay in the holder, which is too small to protect it from small bumps. There is no backup battery in the base station, which means the time and date will disappear when the device is turned off.3. There is no hold button. The mute button is a poor substitute for the hold button.4. There is no way to turn off the announcement when viewing calls. Is it really necessary to listen toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • Damaged

Neat phone for phones and accessories

In my opinion this product deserves 3.5 stars. It's better than other lightweight phones I've had, but there are some downsides. As mentioned before, the menu needs to be set up much better. Also, a corded phone can easily be knocked off the base because it doesn't sit low enough on it. And the material that the phones are made of is quite soft, so if something bumps into it, it will be easily scratched. It's not very soft, just more than I think it should be. On the plus side, I'm happy withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Protection

It's okay though. - Telephones and accessories

The most important aspect of a telephone system (at least for me) is the sound quality, both for me and for my subscribers. I bought this phone system specifically for my home office, thinking it would allow me to adjust the sound quality and turn up the volume. While the cordless handset does allow for both adjustments (and does both well), the desk phone simply has a volume control. Unfortunately, the volume control on my desk phone isn't loud enough to hear callers clearly. In fact, due toโ€ฆ

Excellent phone with one small exception

I chose the AT&T DECT 6.0 AT&T DECT 6.0 Digital Cord/Wireless Answering Machine (84100) because it was designed to work on a specific frequency is to avoid interference from other electronic devices to get rid of poor audio quality issues I was having with my VoIP provider. I soon realized that the problem was actually the ISP's fault, not the phone's. My previous phone was also a wired base/cordless phone but it ran at 2.5GHz. Since then I've switched providers and noticed a significantโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

All right, bye. . .

It has only been a few days. I agree with the reviews that comment on the difficulty of setting options. The manual is terrible and the buttons on the phone make no sense for operating the OSD menus. I shudder to think of having to do this again after a power outage when in fact it's required every time there is a power outage. I suppose I should be thankful that there is a manual for some of the features. It's not important to me to enter numbers in the phone book, not to dial them. Theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • Low repairability
