I have had a problem with digital cordless phones, dead zones in my house, etc. This phone works perfectly and I love the fact you can add you cell phones to it.

This phone is the add-on for the AT&T 5.8GHz Digital Phone. It is identical to the phone that comes with the base and links to the base system very easily. The phone is light, well made and easy to use. Each of these phones may be personalized in setup.

We replaced an eight year old AT&T with this system and am still trying to find a reason not to have made the switch. Great reception, no network interference and a host of great features including bluetooth make this a great buy. We thought we could answer the land line with our cells before the purchase so understand you can't do this. Although we haven't used the conference feature yet, you can conference the cell line and the land line. We love the speaker phone at every station.

After reading a sampling of reviews I went a head and bought this phone and it has turned out well. I have no complaints.

This phone has excellent sound, range, and no interference from anything in our house, and the speaker phone works very well, but that doesn't justify the cost.

What does justify the cost is the Bluetooth connection to my cell phone. When I walk into the house, my cell phone (Motorola W385) beeps, telling me it has established connection to the ATT phone. When the cell phone rings, so do all the ATT handsets. When you look at the ATT handset, you can tell by a blinking button whether the call is on the land line or cell phone, and you hit the appropriate button and talk. My wife's cell phone (LG8350) doesn't always connect when she brings it into the house; I don't know what the difference is.

Oddly, the handsets have to be programmed separately from the base unit--time date, and speed-dial numbers. Overall, though, I've been pleased with the phone.
