AT&T Phone Review

(4 out of 5) by B. Miller on Jun 21, 2009
Delivered in good time. Item was in new condition. Only problem was that belt clip for the phone was missing.

Would definitely order from this place again.

Two different models and different quality

(1 out of 5) by R. Crane on Jan 3, 2007 (Washington, DC United States)
There are two different versions of this system. One is terrific and one is the worst telephone system I have ever owned. The terrific system is model E5655, purchased from Hammacher Schlemmer, and the dreadful system is model E5965C, which is the model sold here on Amazon.

The model sold by Hammacher Schlemmer is about half the size and bulk of the model sold here. As others have written, the model sold here, even a well-charged phone, repeatedly goes dead in the middle of conversations. I own both the system and the accessory phone, and both are dreadful. In the Hammacher Schlmmer version, the phone is perfect.

Too many disappointments

(2 out of 5) by S. Sturch on Mar 7, 2006 (San Antonio, TX)
Others have written about this phone not holding the charge, and I agree! I can't tell you how many times a call has gone dead in the middle of a conversation, with no warning, no low battery message. I've only had the phone since November. There is not a quick, convenient way to redail numbers--you have to choose from a list of options, 1-plus number, or the area code without the 1, or no 1 and no area code. No easy way to speed dial. Range is disappointing. I'm looking for a new phone. Back to Uniden or Panasonic.

Really Good Cordless I am recommending to Others!!

So far this is a great phone! Great sound and a lot of nice features. Also, the expandability is a great feature that we aren't using yet but will be nice for us in the future.

Not sure if this is charge problem.

(3 out of 5) by Evan Lang on Dec 19, 2005
When I received the phone, I thought it was a great phone to use. The only problem is that the handset loses charge sometimes and I couldn't use the phone. I am not sure this is because I placed extra rechargeable batteries in the base so that the handset cannot be charged efficiently or not at all. It seems to work fine now after I removed the batteries from the base. But I am afraid it could happen again. Therefore, I am not sure if I should return the phone now. Any suggestions or similar problems?
