This review is from: AT&T 1455 2.4 GHz Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System and Caller ID (Espresso) (Office Product)

...

After making a few calls with this phone, I wish I had heeded the advice of the majority of reviewers and never unpacked the phone in the first place. While I was speaking, there was a "whooshing" static-y sound .... Although the other person could not hear it, it was very distracting to me. It was like I could hear myself talk in static. Furthermore, there was some continuous "overall" static that prevented me from hearing the other party clearly. While it was not very loud static, it was also distracting. Even though I tried to get rid of this by switching channels several times, the problem was never corrected. I was also sitting right next to the base when this happened, so I should not have had any problems. ... I find it absolutely ridiculous that I had so many problems with this new AT&T phone.

I am taking this phone back ... and will be doing A LOT of online research to find a good quality cordless phone with digital answering system.

Do yourself a favor and stay away from this phone!

I just received this product as a gift and should say that I am pleased with AT&T on the quality of the phone. The integrated caller ID, call waiting and digital answering machine helps save precious space on my kitchen top. Batteries remain charged for hours and has an excellent range.

Headset could have been included by AT&T to make it a full package. Overall an excellent product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nice features....Flawed engineering, April 9, 2004

This review is from: AT&T 1455 2.4 GHz Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System and Caller ID (Espresso) (Office Product)

This phone comes in several flavors, silver and gold (1460) trim.
My experience is with the 1460. I had all the same problems that were already mentioned. The phone comes with many nice features, but the basic operation is inferior. Range issues with going through just one wall at 10 feet, constant background static, and your own voice is played back too loud and with static, through the ear piece. A similar problem low cost Uniden 2.4G experience. Note, this is not a true 2.4Gig phone, only the base transmits at 2.4GHz, the handset transmits at 900 MHz according to the owner's manual. I returned it and got a Motorola 362 in the same price range. Fewer features, but works well and good sound quality.
