Reviews around value (5.00 of 5)

  • Otherwise,this is porobably the best grade and value corded phone one can get.
  • THe directions for setting up the phone are not easy to follow and volume is not as loud as I would like.
  • People say, they can't hear us as well as when using our other phones.
  • So far I think it's good value although we'll see how often I have to replace the batteries!
  • I looked around, and could not find a better value for a speakerphone than this, and bought my current one, the second one I have owned

Reviews around size (4.53 of 5)

  • It's attractive, good size numbers, clarity when conversing.
  • This phone has all features I was looking for and it is just the right size.
  • Unfortunately, if the call originates from outside the five programmed area codes, the number shows up as 12-121234567.Here’s another hint
  • Nice size phone to mount on the wall, priced OK but impossible to read the display now that it is mounted on the wall where it belongs
  • The call quality is clear, the buttons are a good size and I've had no problems with it.

Reviews around light (4.38 of 5)

  • the display is clear, as long as there is good light, very hard to see in subdued light
  • the light for the display doesn't work but everything else does
  • The phone has a bright red light that flashes whenever the phone is in use.
  • I cannot see the caller ID if there is not enough light in the room
  • I like the speaker phone, programmable numbers, a pleasant, not too loud ring, and if my husband is using the upstairs phone, my caller ID screen says "Line In Use" and a soft light comes on to alert me not to pick up

Reviews around product (4.35 of 5)

  • We've had this product before and have enjoyed the features.
  • Even at a steep discount price, this product is not worth the money.
  • I've reviewed a couple hundred products here on Amazon.com, and I've got to believe that only the sonic mosquito deterrents are worse products than this utter piece of techno-rubbish
  • good product I use n my home office, speaker phone and speed dials are great.
  • , you have probably noticed some companies take a successful product and over time cheapen it until it is a shadow of its former self.

Reviews around feature (4.11 of 5)

  • The only bad feature is the very small thin hook to hold the receiver on the phone
  • Other features are OK, but 6 batteries are required, a poor feature of this phone.
  • I am very disappointed in this missing feature because as an older, I was looking for the illuminated display screen on the phone by my bed for easy viewing
  • Nice product apart from being completely ruined by one idiotic design feature
  • Good phone, used as wall mounted, nice features, reasonable price.

Reviews around button (3.83 of 5)

  • This is a good phone; has lots of features and nice large buttons.
  • Some of the number buttons stopped working properly, and the phone now thinks it has dead batteries all the time—even with factory-fresh name-brand batteries newly installed
  • All the functions are easy to understand and I like the big buttons
  • I like the big buttons, mute, redial, and the fact that it has a speakeroption.
  • speaker was not working when we got it; the buttons are big and comfortable, I am keeping this phone in case of cell phone not working

Reviews around quality (3.73 of 5)

  • Horrible call quality, no one can hear me when I call them
  • Even the "Clarity Phone" had relatively poor sound quality, only they have high amplification so they can be heard by those hard of hearing
  • This phone seems to work well with good sound quality, but it doesn't have a lighted display for night use.
  • The speakerphone sound quality is absolutely awful on both phones.
  • I won't buy another AT&T phone because of the poor quality I experienced with this one.

Reviews around speaker (3.24 of 5)

  • I need a landline and a phone with a good speaker unit because Writer's Digest tapes tutorials by me
  • Otherwise, it feels like a good quality phone and the speaker is nice and loud.
  • Really good speaker phone quality which is difficult to find in a corded (non-DECT) landline.
  • but you have to keep on putting batteries for the loud speaker the only thing wrong is this phone do not have a electric cord hook-up it would have been perfect
  • but when I am receiving a call a faulty speaker function can cause me to lose the call.

Reviews around picture (1.80 of 5)

  • Also we think the picture is misleading since it clearly shows a back lit screen & that's just not the case
  • I just got off the phone with AT&T tech support (in India, naturally) and they said since it was purchased more than a year ago, my warranty is expired, and I'll have to buy a whole new phone!
  • However, the screen is not nearly as bright as pictured and can only be seen by getting up close to it.

Reviews around review (1.49 of 5)

  • So, believe the negative reviews and do not buy these defective phones
  • There are many poor reviews of this phone, but I don't need anything high tech so thought it would be ok
  • I just read the most recent negative reviews and was disappointed to see that the company apparently has still not fixed the defective displays, and still not fixed the defective speakerphone operation
  • At this point, I'm thinking this phone is pretty much a POS, and I'm really surprised it has so many good reviews
  • I am extremely disappointed and based on the other negative reviews, I am not the only one.

Reviews around noise (1.20 of 5)

  • When the feedback is not making constant noise it skips, like when you are in an elevator on your cell phone
  • Buttons stick, sometimes makes a weird static noise when the handset is perfectly seated on the phone
  • However, the phone appears to be defective; there is an annoying buzzing noise in the background
  • I really want to warn other potential customers that this phone has a loud static noise whenever you use it which makes it completely useless
  • After getting the phone set up, I connected it to my land line and after a minute or so that very annoying noise came on, you know, the one that lets you know your phone is off the hook

Reviews around model numb (1.00 of 5)

  • I ordered this phone from AT&T because it looked just like the one I had and was the same model number
  • It shouldn't even go by the same model number as it no longer offers the same features
  • I ordered the same phone, model number and all, and it is the same but they have stopped having the flashing light for missed calls
  • The new design has only one port instead of 2 on the exact same model number.
  • This phone does not have the data port that previous phone with same model number had

Reviews around phone numb (1.00 of 5)

  • I'm not sure I understood the distinction other than I needed to put in the home area code (the one that goes to this particular phone number) in order to use some of the number programming, etc.
  • That being said I do no like the display of the phone number.
  • Easy to see with larger numbers and and easy to use when you are dialing a phone number in the kitchen.
  • The display lights up, and you get is a dial tone, but when you punch in a phone number
  • i.e. phone number 555-555-1212 is displayed as 5555-5-1212.
