    • +, this unit plugged in between the wall and my defective unit.
    • The unit seems to work well except when a call is made, the machine's present announcement plays at the same time as my recorded announcement making it confusing to a caller as to what is being said.
    • I get that it's a cheap unit, but by now they've amortized all product development and are just being cheap
    • Apparently the silent mode was removed on this answering machine at some point in time as some reviewers reported, however the unit I purchased in January of 2017 can be silent as I demonstrate in attached video.
    • I called AT&T support who had me recycle the power again and verified that the unit was defective.
    • The failure gradually progressed to the point the only way we could listen to messages was to dial in on our cell phone; the unit itself would not play back messages or delete them.
    • This unit works great.
    • I highly recommend this unit to anyone who needs a simple easy to use answering machine.

    • This unit has met and/or exceeded my expectations
    • One unit can be defective, I get it.
    • This is a pretty good unit considering the available options.

    • I'd avoid this unit like the plague!
