    This is the second such phone I bought; I'd bought an identical model several months earlier, then purchased this one for a different room because I liked the model so much. The phone has all the features that I wanted: answering machine, speakerphone, caller ID, a mute button, volume control for both ringer and handset, ability to pick up messages remotely, and others. I rated it 4 rather than 5 only because the sound quality coming from the earpiece is a bit on the tinny side, but this might not bother others.

    Mediocre Phone

    I hoped this phone would work out, because there aren't many 2 line corded phones with an answering feature. This phone replaced a very old Panasonic KXTMC98B. I had no complaints about audio quality from the party on the other end of the line, and other parties would come in clearly to me, but for some reason, I would hear distortion in the receiver when I would speak, a slight annoyance The speakerphone works pretty well for a phone in this price range. A few complaints about the answering system. Once your messages are played, and you determine the message is for someone else in the household and you do not delete the message, there is no old message indicator to key someone to check, as did my old Panasonic, unless you press the play button again. Secondly, hangups are often recorded as messages. The old Panasonic did a better job at distinguishing legit messages. Lastly, I ended up having to return this phone. It was wall mounted, and intermittently, the hook switch did not fully engage and the phone would be off hook for hours on end. I returned it to the Best Buy store, but because it was only available online, I was unwilling to wait another 4-5 days for a replacement. I picked up the same model off the shelf at another retailer (they price matched BB). I have not experienced any hook switch problems, but the audio and answering machine complaints remain.

    I love my new phone. It makes me feel like I'm a big executive in a fortune 500 company. "Susan get the president on the line for me. " Really it looks great, has many features, caller ID, battery operated answering machine, 2 lines, with the phone numbers on the directory for family and friends. Heck I can even call Washington or Moscow and shoot the breeze with you know who.

    Overall the phone is easy to use and meets all of my expectations from an AT&T product. Would like the microphone on the handset to be a bit clearer and more sensitive. The large buttons makes dialing easy and clear.

    If you still want and use a land-line phone, this one is great! Two -lines, easy to install. Can program many phone numbers and has two-line answering machine functionality. I had this phone before and was satisfied so I bought another one.

    Previous old machine did not show caller name & phone #. This does and we love it--as it cuts down on answering the phone when is a robo call or someone we don't know. Hardly anyone from these calls leaves a message.

    I like the answering system on it. And the blue backlight is pleasing. The speakerphone is what I use most and I've had no problems with that either.
