Summary: QUALITY PHONE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Review: ... I looked long and hard for a quality cordless phone most are very cheaply made and are a joke. I purchased the At & T phones and I am extremly happy with them.They work flawlessly. The phones are easy to use and you can tell they are made very well.They are comfortable to you ears, the buttons are easy to use etc. The reception is perfect, I can walk through out my house with no interference at all. There are two idenical phones which you can press intercom on and talk to the other person or transfer the call over to the other phone. I would highly recommend this phone.

Review: A few other reviewers have mentioned the "echo" when talking on these phones, and I completely agree. There was a very loud and noticable echo of your own voice when speaking. After only one day of talking on these phones, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I returned them. Don't waste your time with these.

Summary: Short battery life
Review: After about seven month of use, the phone must constantly remain in the charger. There is also a slight buzzing sound when on the phone. Look at a different phone.

Review: Few cordless phones I've owned have been as poorly designed and manufactured as the AT&T 2230 dual handset. I'm disappointed in the "touch" of these phones. They feel cheap, have small cheep buttons, a cheep small earpiece that doesn't fit my ear and sounds distorted. People frequently complained that when I used this phone they could not hear me well.The phone would randomly start whining about its connection or something. I could never figure out what it wanted. I replaced the batteries but it made no difference. How complicated is it supposed to be to use a phone? I would never consider buying this phone again. If you find a good portable phone please review it in Amazon, I still need to buy more phones. If Sony still made the SPP-ER101 I buy more of them. Mine is seven years old and it's still working great! Does anyone understand why these companies stop making good phones and flood the market with 50 models of garbage?

Review: Few cordless phones I've owned have been as well designed and manufactured as the AT&T 2230 dual handset. I'm a little obsessive when it comes to the "touch" of consumer products, and if something doesn't feel quite right, or cheap, I don't buy it. In the world of cordless phones, you truly get what you pay for. There may be cheaper 2.4ghz phones available, but none that I found were as well made as these two beauties. The 2230s are a pleasant surprise. Lightweight, solid craftmanship, with a nice arc in the back that fits comfortably in your hand. The face is just slightly concave, with sturdy, tight numerical buttons. The buttons are actually my favorite part. They're solid, don't slide around in their holes, and your fingers don't rub up against the other buttons while pressing them. In other words, the user interface gets an A+. The phone feels like it was designed for the natural curves of your hand and fingers. The outside casing feels very sturdy and tight around the edges, which leads me to believe they'd easily survive a fall. The description reads as being "champagne" in color, and I never really noticed the color before. They're more metallic than cream, and very nice looking. The ear piece is also slightly concave and smooth, and fits your ear quite nicely. To top it all off, the display is a wonderful backlit green light that's bright with easy to read LCD. The menu interface is very easy to figure out; allowing you to program in numbers, check your caller ID, and even change the name of the phones (mine are named Harold and Maude). In case the "dual" part isn't clear, one of the sets plugs in to a power outlet and a phone jack. The other just plugs into an electrical jack anywhere in your house -- no phone line required. This was the deal maker for me, for I needed a phone in an office that didn't have an easy to reach phone jack. All in all I'm very pleased with the set. The previous review talking about volume / sound quality could be because they didn't turn up the receiver volume on the phone, which is quite easy to do and gets as loud as you could possibly need. I guess "quality" is a personal thing, but for me they blew my old 900mhz phones out of the water. If I needed another set for an office or second home, I wouldn't hesitate buying another pair.

Summary: One word - Unreliable
Review: I bought the AT&T 2230 2.4 GHz Dual-Handset Cordless Phone set last summer for my small one bedroom apartment. It seemed like the perfect phone and it was for a while. I had absolutely no problems with it for the first 6 months. It had all the features I wanted plus a few more I did not use. The range was fine, I could take it all the way down to the laundry room and it still worked perfectly. I never had a problem with battery life, signal, or clarity. I thought I had purchased the last phone I would need for a very long time. When it came to move into my house I bought a second set with the answering machine thinking the convenience of all four phones being the same and being able to stick each handset in any charger was worth it. The pager system between handsets also sounded handy for getting a hold of someone say in the garage and whatnot. About two months after settling into my new home the phones started acting up. First the signal strength would go in and out. Calls would get disconnected and the battery life stinks. Then the phones just stopped working. When I get a call now the base unit rings but when I go to grab a receiver it shows "OUT OF SERVICE" on the display and will not work. I end up running around the house looking for one that will respond. I tend to miss most of my calls now because of this. The receivers go in and out, sometimes working, sometimes not. Less then a year after purchasing them I am already shopping for a new phone. In the beginning I figured I would spend a little extra and get a phone that would last, but it did not end that way. I would highly advise at looking elsewhere towards a different brand. Unless you like the idea of having to replace your phone every six months, this phone set is not for you.

Summary: Don't buy this phone
Review: I bought this phone and it has been the worst cordless
phone I've ever owned. The battery life is pathetically
short. They recommend charging it in the base
ever night. Even doing this it still (does not last long)
after making a few phone calls. Also it seems
to get confused sometimes and squeals loudly. I think
it can't communicate with the base, but the manual
says nothing about this.
Don't buy this phone! Try Panasonic instead, I've
had better luck with them.

Summary: Worthless
Review: I bought this phone, charged it for a day, and then the handsets started making a high-pitched whining noise. Needless to say, I returned it to the retailer. Don't bother with this poor-quality phone.
