Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This two-line cordless telephone from AT&T offers 900 MHz digital technology for highly secure, long-range transmission. With an integrated digital answering system, this phone is a good choice for your home office or business.

The 9452 features a variety of functions, including support for caller ID for call waiting, two-way intercom between the handset and speakerphone, and three-party conference calling. An integrated data port in the base connects your fax or modem for instant access to an available line.

The digital answering system records up to 15 minutes of messages into three mailboxes for fast, tapeless messaging that can be instantly played back, saved, scanned, or deleted. Announce-only can be turned on to leave an outgoing message without recording, perfect for after-hours messages.

The handset includes a backlit LCD with caller ID. The last 20 calls are stored in memory for quick display, and up to 50 numbers can be stored for easy access to your friends, family, and other favorite numbers.

Hands-free use is promoted with support for headsets and a speakerphone in the base.

2.0 out of 5 stars Seriously lacking 2-line features, July 2, 2002

Beware if you are thinking of buying this phone: there is only one outgoing message, and the answering machine does not distinguish at all between the two lines. So you cannot disable answering on one of the lines or have one line automatically routed to a different mailbox. In my opinion that makes this phone useless for a two-line home or office.

1. This machine had the worst manual I've ever seen. Even setting the clock required digging in the back of the book somewhere instead of being in the setup section. Did not explain functions clearly or completely.

2. A battery backup would probably be more worthwhile than than the handset spare battery charger feature. Every time the power glitches here (frequently) it loses its settings. Haven't had it working long enough to tell whether it loses its messages when this happens, but I suppose it does. The manual doesn't say one way or the other.

3. Mine (1 wk old) has started talking Mickey Mouse and I can't understand what it's saying when selecting functions any more.

Overall I am totally disillusioned this AT&T product and I certainly would NOT recommend it to anyone.

1.0 out of 5 stars Broke within 1 Year, December 2, 2002

This review is from: AT&T 9452 900 MHz 2-Line Cordless Phone with Answering System and Caller ID (Graphite) (Office Product)

This phone started out great. Then within 1 year the answering machine started cutting off incoming messages or not recording them at all. Also, the phone no longer connects correctly with the base so it is difficult to get it to charge. Not a happy customer.
