Home > Consumer Reviews > AT&T 2256 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Extra Handset and Answering Machine

The buttons don't work and people get cut off by the beeping. Its a piece of junk. Too bad!!!!

I get the same annoying beeping problem as the other reviewers. I thought it was interference from my computer, but I guess not. I've also had the problem with the buttons on the phone not working well. It double hits the digit a lot which is a pain in the neck when I am using a prepaid calling card for my long distance. I'm off to find another phone.

I thought the beeping problem mentioned in other reviews was a problem localized to us! this phone will beep at the person on the other end of the line. It also will hang up on people in the middle of the call for no apparent reason. This phone is a piece of garbage. Do not waste you money, I will never buy any AT&T phone again!

We have owned this phone system for about a year. It is now very difficult to make a call with it. The buttons either don't work or beep twice when you press them. We quite often hang up on people because the answer button causes the phone to answer and then hang up. You would think a copy like AT&T could do better!!!

We purchased this phone after our old one was damaged by water. It seemed the perfect combination of features and price, but developed some very annoying problems, which we didn't follow up with the manufacturer as soon as we should have, so we are out our purchase price. First, the handets started generating annoying beeps (hearable only by the person on the other end), then one of the handsets stopped funtioning in speaker mode, and, finally, it became impossible to dial out on either handset. We will never buy another product with the A. T & T. name on it! If you are considering a purchase of this product, run away!
