Waste of money

 

Waste of money

Waste of money. This is the first time I've bought an AT&T product; and will never do so again. All the other reviews summed up every reason why not to buy this piece of junk. I'm sticking with Panasonic. Over 20 years of reliable good phones from...

Multiple problems with this phone

 

Multiple problems with this phone

I picked this phone because I assumed AT&T meant quality. The system lasted about 6 months before the battery in the additional handset stopped holding a charge. I could deal with that though it was annoying and inconvenient. The real trouble started...

Button trouble

 

Button trouble

The buttons on this phone are very hard to use. Sometimes you have to push them down really hard and press squarely in the middle. With other buttons if you do this you will dial the same number twice. This thing can be very frustrating. Does anyone...

Remember when AT&T made excellent phones?

 

Remember when AT&T made excellent phones?

Remember when AT&T made excellent phones? Not anymore. I bought this phone because it seemed to have the features I was looking for: an answering machine, 2 speakerphone-capable handsets, and it was from AT&T. Unfortunately, the 2-way rocker buttons on...

Worst phone I've ever owned!!

 

Worst phone I've ever owned!!

I have always sworn by AT&T products, but this experience made me change my mind in one fell swoop. The buttons on the phone hardly work - one press of the "4" has you dialing the UK, and if the number you happen to be dialing has a "5" in it, forget...
