Product is great, which is why I'm trying to find an additional one. It is comfortable to hold, has good features, good sound, and great speaker phone. But even AT&T only charges $179 for a brand new one. The seller should be ashamed. This is worse than price gouging!

We have had our 5800 series phones (base station/answering machine plus 3 additional phones) for about a year and half now and have no problems. The reception is good (you can walk all the way down the block with them) and there is never any fuzz or tin sound when talking. I especially like the volume control on each phone, the individual ring tones (this is especially handy when using the page/intercom feature) and the hands-free options. The base station is easy to use and the phone expansion couldn't be easier. Just plug it in and enter a code to "marry" it to your base station. I would definitely recommend this phone to others.

I was so excited when I purchased this phone. We had 2 Panasonic 900MHz cordless phones. We LOVED these, but we decided that it was time for an upgrade. For the price, you get 3 phones that have good reception and AT&T quality as far as durability is concerned. They are attractive and a decent buy overall. My main problem is that the base does not allow transfer of info to the other handsets (ie phone books), you have to manually put numbers in each one of the handsets. There is no message waiting indicator light if you subscribe to the phone company's voicemail. The indicator is for the answering machine connected to the phone (which I don't use). If you choose to take the clock display off, the phone shows the handset number(which for some reason is annoying to me!).Also,the time doesn't automatically set. You have to set the time on each phone seperately. Again,the At&t phones look nice and have some good features, but the problems are what have made me give this a not so perfect review.

I notice that you have a phone like I purchased, 275, is a outrages price. I purchse a mew AT&T phone with 4 hand sets for $99.00 AT&T 5800 Series Hand set

Don't buy this product. The batteries always die and I've replaced them twice. Now I have it sitting on the charger at all times.
