Disappointed in Caller ID

 

Disappointed in Caller ID

Although many features are excellent, the main drawback for our small business is this: when you review the messages on the answering machine, it does not give you the Caller ID information. You must go back thru the "missed calls" to see the Caller...

Big Range, Comfortable Handset, Compact design, Durable, Easy To Set Up, Good Sound, Nice Features, Strong Signal All I was looking for was a land line with a message machine but when I saw this one and read the good reviews, I ordered it. So far I...

Totally Satisfied

When I was initially looking at this phone, about a year ago, I read the reviews listed here and, needless to say, had some concern. However, I went ahead with the purchase anyway and am glad I did. Since my purchase was about a year after the others...

Don't bother if you use Caller ID

 

I rely on Caller ID, and that's the first feature I insist on in a phone. This phone claims to have Caller ID, and it does indeed store the caller's ID - but you will only see it after they hang up, unless you're lucky enough to be standing right next...

worked okay but cordless lost its ability to connect in 9 months

Remote Message retrieval.

 

Easy to program base and cordless and clarity is great.

Head phones jack no good, as told by an AT &T tech support.

Outstanding phone!

 

Outstanding phone!

I purchased this phone after having purchased a different model ATT speakerphone. I couldn't use the first one because the speakerphone volume was far too low even in the highest setting. My dad purchased an E5908 model, loved it so I thought I would...
