This phone is fine for receiving phone calls. There is a reason it was only $40 for a 2 line cordless phone -- it is not a tone phone, but a pulse phone. If you call a business that has an extensive voice mail phone tree, you can not get the phone to recognize your entries, unless you remember to put in some code in the process of the phone call. So . . . in short, if you need a 2 line phone for receiving phone calls only, think about this one. If you call businesses that instruct you to dial 2 for customer service, etc., spend the extra money and buy another phone.

I lauded this phone in an earlier review but felt compelled to amend that praise after using for eighteen months.

I still like the phone's features but find that clarity has become a big issue for me when using this phone. I often have trouble understanding what others are saying, especially if they are also speaking on a portable phone. Clarity when others are on cell phones or land-line phones is a little better, but still not great.

This is not a problem I had when I first started using the phone and there are no problems with the phone lines into my house (I've checked). I've given this phone as a gift to my parents, and they have had some of the same clarity issues as well so I do not think the difficulties are unique to me or my hearing (which is fine). Problems understanding are especially pronounced if the other person is speaking in a low tone of voice or whispering.

After my earlier, glowing review, I had to revise what I said. This phone is just OK. I still use it, and the clarity problems are not bad enough for me to purchase another phone at this time, but they can be annoying. Just wanted any readers to be aware that my opinion has changed after using the phone for a while.

I just bought this phone but am back for another one to save for the future. I've had a lot of two line phones but this one is the best by far. Easy to use. Convenient controls. Just a pleasure. Prior to this one I used a much more expensive Pansonic and it was never as good as this AT&T.

This was the only white, cordless, 2-line, wall-mountable phone I could find (and I think I searched everywhere) which is why I bought it. But the sound quality is so poor as to be almost unusable. Someone described it as overmodulated, and I think that's accurate. There's not a whole lot of static (although more than there should be), but the voice sounds like it's been run through a "robot voice changer" toy. Well not that bad but you get the idea. And people on the other end ask me to repeat myself often so it seems to be both ways.

We have it in the kitchen and only use it to answer calls and then go to another phone to talk.

As i move around my apartment the phone would buzz and hiss. About 9 months after I got it loud cracking static could be heard even when I am close to the base unit. The sound quality is very very poor.
