I run a small hotel. As a result I am not in the office very much and am always out doing something else. The phone system installed in the hotel allows me to transfer all incoming and internal calls to a particular phone extension. As a result I get lots of calls and this phone gets lots of use. I have had many kinds of 900mghz phones in the past and for the money this one has been the best. I bought two of them at the same time so that when the battery runs out of one I start using the other. The battery lasts usually about 4 days. It has been dropped, abused and used quite a lot. The only problem I have had is breaking the belt clip. I would like to get two more belt clips but am unsure where to find them. I have been very satisfied with the phones.

When the battery is charging on this phone it beeps constantly. This is a very annoying feature, that we could find no way to turn off. The range and static free signal is excellent. This does not make up for the warning low power feature.

We live in a area with frequest power outages, during which the phone runs out of stand-by power. When the power comes back up, the phone begins to beep every 1/2 to 1 minute until it is rechagred (8 to 12 hours). We tried replacing the battery, the phone proceeded to beep for 3 full days. Our final solution was to buy a new phone (with out the low power notification).

If you tend to run the power down on your phone I would caution you against this particular model.

I have used this phone now for about a month. Not entirely sure where people are getting this whole thing of the phone's battery being short lived. I used the phone and left it off the base for a week at a time and it still performs like a champ. Range is unreal and clarity is great. The only thing that is a little bad is the fact that it is slightly hard to cradle on your neck, but for the price, you are getting a superior phone for sure!

The phone clarity is okay, but not great. Sounds as if I am talking in an echo chamber which is very disappointing. Distance is good though and I do not get a significant degradation as I leave the base. This is important since I go to my neighbor's house a lot. One problem - though it fits in my pocket, it is too easy to depress the talk button, causing the darn thing to turn on all the time.

I bought this phone at the local Office store and it worked great for about a month, then all of a sudden it stopped. It did nothing but beep, no dial tone, nothing... tried everything, the phone still wouldn't work.

Went back and exchanged it for the new Power Advantage 4.0 AT&T 9520, it's everything this phone wasn't. Much greater range, very light and compact, fully recharges in only 4 hours and comes with a spare battery, highly recommended. It definitely restored my faith in AT&T.
