This phone met all my requirements... It was 2.4GHz, had caller id... message indicator light ... headset jack... and the price was great... so what was the catch?

You can't use this phone unless you are in the cone of silence with absolutely no background noise. This phone picks up every bit of background noise on your end and amplifies it through the earpeace. My friends now think my favorite word is "huh", because I have to ask them to repeat themselves every two seconds.

SAVE YOUR MONEY... stay away until the old AT&T (circa 1980) manufactures this phone correctly.

Very poor sound quality and reception is poor. STAY AWAY from this phone!

I would have to agree with the other reviews which I have read. The sound quality is poor on this phone. There is also some feedback noice on the phone which is very annoying.

I have two of these phones and I LOVE them! they look good, they keep a good charge, and the caller ID in the handset in great because it's face up when the phone is charging so you can see who it is without picking up the phone.

Some of the other reviews have talked about noise problems. I haven't had ANY problems whatsoever. I do know that sometimes if you have a wireless network that operates on the 2.4 GHz frequency and the router is too close to the base unit for the phone that can cause problems.

Overall, terrific phone for a great price!

This is my second AT&T 1430. After the first, I vowed never to buy another because of the constant static in the background. However, I could not find another cordless that has all the features of the 1430. So I decided to live with the static and I purchased a new one. After charging the battery and dialing my first call, to my very great surprise, I found the sound quality excellent. Not even the slightest hint of background static. Has AT&T finally improved this phone? I don't know. I'm just glad I gave it a second chance.

I have owned 6 cordless telephones, 3 with 2.4 Ghz, and this is by far the worst for sound quality. It sounds like a kid's toy, really tinny and echo-y. The noise level changes significantly as we walk around the house but is never very good. Save your money.
