No more poor cellphone reception at home!
(5 out of 5) by Alicia F. Williams on Dec 6, 2007 (MA United States)First- this is the expansion hand set- you need the other part for this to work.
If you have ONE spot in your house you can only use your cell phone, this is for you.
It's a great device. Your cell phone rings.... you have the home phone in your hand, and a little light flashes that says "cellular". You push the button and you are now connected to your cell phone VIA your home phone handset.
Not hard to set up, but you need bluetooth.
One complaint, the caller id isn't ever right when someone calls my cell. I just ignore it.
Now I can use my cell phone ALL over my house and get crystal clear reception. Just put the phone where you get reception- turn on the bluetooth, Viola!
Your cell must be within 3 feet of the base station for it to work.
I love it. It's a great phone for people who can't talk on their cell phones at home because of poor reception!

A solid product, but a few minor frustrations
(3 out of 5) by Patrick Frailey on Nov 22, 2008 (Grayson, GA)This phone system is a solid system expandable up to 12 handsets. The bluetooth functionality of the base station is a little quirky, and occasionally, I have to unplug the base to reset it to allow my cell phones to reconnect to the home system, but by and large, this has been a very good system for our home. The expandable bases are very easy to connect, and the handsets hold their charge for a long time. One problem I have found is that the phone book feature and custom rings do not transfer from phone to phone; you must input them individually on each phone. This is extremely frustrating when you have 12 handsets, especially if you use custom ring tones to identify callers. Other than that, this phone has been very good. No interference from my electronics has been noted, and I have a lot (and I do mean lots) of electronics in my home.

Nice phones
(4 out of 5) by T. Bently Durant on Apr 23, 2008 (Fort Worth, Texas)Great product:
Pros:
1. Bluetooth works with blackberry Curve and blackjack. Get incoming calls and make outgoing calls on cell phones by hitting the cell phone button.
2. Separate ringer for bluetooth cell phone lets you know where the call is coming too.
3. Assign separate ringers from list of 15+ to all you're frequent callers
Cons:
1. Have to program each phone individually. Why can't they just clone from base, or auto transfer phonebooks
2. Battery life is short. A day and a half off base and the phones dead.
3. bluetooth was tricky for a while. I had to reset it a time or two. But now it's pretty reliable.

Good home phone
(5 out of 5) by J. Emmert on Feb 5, 2009 (LA USA)I had the base station and a single handset for about a year and just added an extra handset. The whole system is easy to set up and works well.

Far better than the equivalent GE product...
(5 out of 5) by Frank Hermes on Nov 11, 2008 (San Diego)This system works very well - does everything it is advertized to do and does it well...I got one of the GE Fusion DECT systems and had problems from the beginning, so much so that I trashed it - I figured the cell phone integration with the house phone was just too much to ask...when I went to select a "regular" system to replace the GE, I saw this AT&T product with very similar features and decided to try once more.
Couldn't be happier with the AT&T system...works perfectly...have 6 remote phones in addition to the base - can tailor each to function just like we want for each location it serves...the color display is nice (the GE units were mono)...cell integration is flawless.
