Customer Rating:      Summary: Good Value Comment: Very good function for the money. Audio failed after a few days, and unit was promptly and conveniently replaced by Amazon.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great phone for the money Comment: Love this phone. Clear sound. All the features I wanted -- nice clear speakerphone that is easy to access... easy to read and push buttons... and a decent size caller ID panel. Would have given it 5 stars if the ID panel had been backlit. Have to put a light on to read it. But the light is usually on anyway, so no biggie. Very good quality phone with very good quality sound. I recommend it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: AT&T speaker phone/ answering machine Comment: The phone has a good clear sound and an adjustable ringer volumn which I really like. The only thing I should have purchased one with a removable handset so as not to be tied to the cord. I put a longer cord between handset and phone as the one it comes with is very short.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Memory Guard Comment: This is a great little phone, and for the price -- well, it's unbeatable, and trust me, I compared a LOT of models.
But (there's always a but, isn't there?) the bad news is that although this phone has "Memory Guard," it's NOT the same as a battery backup. Even tho' the Amazon Product Description says "Power Failure Operation Memory Loss Protection (battery required)" there's no place to put batteries. You can get and make calls when the power is out, but the phone will not ring, so you need another corded phone that will ring to let you know you've got a call. The answering machine will not work during a power outage, and the clock needs to be reset (easy to do) if the power goes out for even a second. But the good news is you will NOT lose messages that came in before the power went out (or after it comes back on, although the time stamp for those calls will not be right unless the power went out for only a few seconds). You also will not lose stored numbers, your recorded announcement, and other settings.
The good news is it's got a lot of features not found on other phones in this price range, notably (for me, anyway) a mute button with indicator that you're in mute mode, volume control for the speakerphone, ability to dial out while in speakerphone mode (no need to take the handset off the hook), and an audible message alert.
I found this easy to set up, but maybe only because I had a cordless AT&T phone that worked much the same way, so I'm used to the procedures for setting it up.
Customer Rating:      Summary: at&t review Comment: Overall the phone is what I expected.It could however benefit from some upgrades.
The face could be lighted so that you can see who is calling you without turning the light on.
