Easy to set up and use
I bought these AT&t phones through Amazon warehouse. This was my first experience using Amazon warehouse and I was really pleased and surprised. The telephones were listed as like new and they truly were. The box had absolutely no damage and it appeared that had never even been opened. The plastic cellophane was on the handsets the batteries were unopened and unused and everything was flawless. I don’t believe anybody ever touched these phones except for me and that somebody just changed their mind and returned them for whatever reason. As for the phones themselves this is a tremendous set because you get three phones and an answering machine. My old phone that I had bought an emergency was not expandable and I did not realize that at the time. Since I live in a house with two floors it was a pain in the neck to have to keep running up and down the stairs when the phone rang so now I have three like I am accustomed to from the past and it is so much easier. To set these up was a breeze. Everything was very self-explanatory so I didn’t even have to use the little self-help manual that teaches you what to do. It was very easy to set the volume the time and to record my own message although there is a pre-recorded message available if you choose to use it.The phones have big numbers on them so it’s easier to see for us older folks and they’re all backflip which is a plus. My old phone didn’t even have a speaker phone so how basic is that. There are times and you really need to put somebody on speaker phone and this phone also has an intercom system so that you can have more than one person on listening at a time or you can go and use the other phone and pick up and finish your conversation from one floor to the next from one phone to the next. So far I am really pleased at the quality of these phones. They are lightweight compared to the older phones but that is to be expected these days. Everything seems to be made much later weight. I don’t know how long they will last but the AT&t has always been a good brand and I hope that these will last me for many years.

Not As Easy To use
No other brand mentioned that was my favorite and I decided to go to the AT&T kind of phones. I found it more difficult to use for deleting messages than my older set that was needing replaced. My new phone set is basic; it’s all I really want or need from a phone; easy to use and functional. Just not so easy as the older set and that’s the only reason I didn’t rate it as highly as my review. It’s a bit more difficult for me to play messages from the 2nd handset. Still learning though progress is slow. Yes, a booklet came with the set and has pictures too. I’ve never had as much trouble catching on to this new set of directions by comparison to the older phone set. It rings in and I can call out, but do not appreciate other features to me that is difficult to grasp.
by Merchandise was fine. Sizing was not correct for me.
The phone is clear & everything is visible.
Phone is fine, good features. However, I need a phone with call blocking & this one doesn’t have it.

The only cordless phone in my parent’s home! Works great!
I bought this for my Mom & Dad because they are at the age they should not be jumping off the couch and running across the room to the phone with a cord (:Seriously, even though the answering machine works great and is very easy to use, they don’t remember to check it very often. At 98 and 88 you can do what you want, and listening to their doctors call them is not what they want to do, apparently.The cordless phone can last almost a full week next to their TV chairs without running out of battery life, which is what they need at this time in their lives. This long battery life has been a great feature.You can also adjust the volume on both the ringer and sound to very high, which my parents need in order to hear who is calling them.The phone/answering machine combination has been a safety device as well as a practical addition for my Mom and Dad. The price was quite reasonable and I would give it 10 stars if allowed.

Works OK, but annoying
I really dislike the way this thing responds to pressing the buttons to dial a number. Very slow response, and you have to push the buttons really hard or they don’t “take”.Also I dislike the way you have to remember the button sequence for a redial. Which button do you press first? And you have to look to see that you’re redialing the right number, since it stores the last several that you’ve called in a list. (Which may be a privacy concern for some.)Finally, unless you consciously hold the mouthpiece of the phone close to your mouth, your voice will be too soft to the person on the other end. A poor quality microphone, I guess.All in all a disappointing purchase.

Great Phones for the Price
Bought these to replace similar AT&T cordless phones bought many years ago and worked well for a long time. These new phones appear to be of the same quality or better and have a nicer look than the previous models. Hopefully the new phones will last for many years to come.
