Summary: Get a different phone!
Review: ...

After making a few calls with this phone, I wish I had heeded the advice of the majority of reviewers and never unpacked the phone in the first place. While I was speaking, there was a "whooshing" static-y sound .... Although the other person could not hear it, it was very distracting to me. It was like I could hear myself talk in static. Furthermore, there was some continuous "overall" static that prevented me from hearing the other party clearly. While it was not very loud static, it was also distracting. Even though I tried to get rid of this by switching channels several times, the problem was never corrected. I was also sitting right next to the base when this happened, so I should not have had any problems. ... I find it absolutely ridiculous that I had so many problems with this new AT&T phone.

I am taking this phone back ... and will be doing A LOT of online research to find a good quality cordless phone with digital answering system.

Do yourself a favor and stay away from this phone!

Summary: The Disappearing Caller ID and Garbled Messages
Review: A co-worker purchased the same phone and had the same problem. The display on the caller ID is very faint, difficult to read, and often parts of the letters and numbers are missing. The sound quality on the messages is kind of muffled, and when you turn up the volume, that only makes it worse. We've seen these phones discounted down to $$, so you'd be crazy to pay full-price for this.

Summary: terrible!
Review: Got this as a gift and am unfortunately gonna have to return it. My 1st experience with 2.4 ghz and it's way-worse than the GE and Panasonic 900 mhz ones I already have! Can't get a clear line for anything - no matter where I am in house (even tried plugging base into an outlet by itself to keep interference out...) and FORGET going outside! I can't even step out the door whereas with my others I've been able to wash my car in the front yard and talk, too! So this phone ... - no question about it!

Summary: Just not happy
Review: I am going to return this phone.
Handset "feels" funny. It's a difficult/awkward shape. It is also a pain to hang up, both the handset on the wall, & after speaking.
The OFF button has to be hit, not the talk button.
There is a very annoying wooshing sound when I am speaking to someone. They can not hear it, but I can. Makes it difficult to speak because at first I thought they could hear the noise as well. Previous Uniden 2.4G did not make these noises. Can only assume it's the equipment.
Features that were simple & easy figure out on Uniden don't seem to exist on this phone. They may be programmable, but haven't looked at manual.
I would check the unit out in person before buying as I did. I made a mistake.

Summary: Still Looking -
Review: I bought this phone thinking AT&T's been in the phone business for a long time - surely they would put out a decent phone. Here's what I experienced in the 3 days I owned this phone - first, every word received on the phone has a static sound to it. Sure you can understand what the person's saying but its very annoying. Secondly, the answering machine fails to record messages - it hung up on two people leaving messages. Apparently one of the phone's features is to hang up if no one begins talking within 7 seconds. Some people speak softly, don't talking directly into the phone or just have a bad connection. So I'm still looking for a new phone - this one went back.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good inexpensive phone
Review: I know buying a phone is difficult and it could come with mixed openions , all you got to is try. I tried this phone , seems to be a good phone. There is a very very very little static , but if you compare it with panasonic, uniden and sony , this turns to be a winner. I would suggest to try , always can return.

Summary: This phone is terrible.
Review: I thought this phone would be an ok phone because I've had good AT&T phones in the past. I was wrong with this one. The biggest problem I have found is that no hands free headset works well with it. They are all too quiet for hearing and speaking. People on the other end can never hear you when you use one. I've looked around and can't find one that works with the phone. I try the headset in a different phone i have and they work fine. Also this phone can get staticy. At random times, I will get a bunch of noise while talking. I would recommend something else.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Reasonable phone for a reasonable price
Review: I've had this phone for almost 2 years. Works fine anywhere in my apartment, but part of that is probably good selection of the base location. Sound quality is excellent, battery life good. I get no interference from any one else or from other equipment, and I have at least 3 wireless networks in range of this phone. Even better, the phone doesn't interfere with them! A little funky to program and set up, but okay. Features that would be great to have: battery backed clock; easy access to ringer volume control. I wrote this review because I saw a lot of people slagging this phone and it didn't seem balanced because its worked okay for me.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Nice features....Flawed engineering
Review: If it has an AT&amp;amp;T logo on it, don't get it. I have had this phone for about a year. I dealt with the static because this phone wasn't my main one. The problem I have with this phone now; the handset cannot connect with the base unit. I put a new battery in it, and followed everything the manual and what I could find on the web said to do and still it can't connect. Totally useless. I would return it but unfortunately I did not buy it at Target. I got it at the now closed Service Merchandise. This phone now sits in a pile of my other AT&T &quot;goods?&quot;.

I do not recommend this phone.
