Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The 2231 from AT&T is a 2.4 GHz phone that comes bundled with an extra handset and charging cradle. It also boasts several useful features, including caller ID/call waiting compatibility and an internal phone directory. The 2331 delivers clear, easily intelligible reception with less interference, thanks to transmitting on the 2.4 GHz band and employing frequency-hopping digital spread spectrum technology.
With its 50-number caller ID memory, you can see a list of all recent calls, while a 50-number phone directory helps you to keep track of all important phone numbers. A display-and-dial feature lets you scroll through the caller ID or phone directory lists and dial the displayed number simply by pressing talk. A voicemail message-waiting indicator lets you know when you have new messages (requires a subscription to a fee-based service), while the low battery-indicator lets you know when to return the handset to its cradle for recharging.
The handset LCD menu can be set to one of three language (French, English, or Spanish), and handset and ringer controls allow you to adjust volume levels to your liking. A handset speakerphone combines with headset compatibility to provide hands-free communication options, while an illuminated keypad makes dialing in poorly lit environments a snap. The intercom function lets you communicate with the other handset, and a conferencing feature allows you to speak with multiple parties at once. The redial button lets you easily dial any of the last five outgoing numbers, and the any-key answer function lets you pick up a call by pressing any of the handset buttons. The 2231 also comes backed by a one-year warranty.

Hasn't lasted 1 year!,

This review is from: AT&T 2231 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets (Office Product)
We have never liked these phones... there has not been good reception, an annoying beeping that can only be heard by the person you are talking to. And now the buttons are almost unoperable - CANNOT use the phones for automated calls because it is too hard to push the buttons.

A lot of great features, but battery power sucks!,

This review is from: AT&T 2231 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets (Office Product)
This phone has excellent features, including volume controls for the ringer and the handsets themselves, 2 handsets (an excellent idea), the ability to use the handsets as walkie talkies (haven't tried this yet), a 50-number phone book for storing numbers, caller ID, and notification of voice mail (those last 2 only if you're subscribed to the phone services--not for notification of an answering machine message). It feels great in my hand and comes with belt clips and headphone holes. I think that's useful because i hate speakerphone (it also has that), but want to be mobile while speaking.
I have an AT&T answering machine and it's incredibly durable so i hope this will last a long time as well. I left the handsets off the chargers after completely charging them (the manual says 12 hours minimum, i made it 24 to be safe). I used one of them only twice during this time and that one was completely discharged after only 2 days. Since my conversations were not more than about 20 minutes each, most of that time was spent with the phones just sitting around. I'd call that bad charge retention. The other handset seems to be almost fully charged so I guess this only happens when you use them at all. My cell phone only loses power that quickly if i actually use it a lot. Cordless phone makers should move away from NiMH and replace them with the longer-lasting LiIon batteries.

Worst Phone I've EVER Owned!,
By
This review is from: AT&T 2231 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets (Office Product)
In less than six months, the buttons were SO difficult to push that we cannot call any phone numbers that require punching in an account number or something of the like. BOTH phones do this!
The main phone (the one with the base that has the answering machine unit) no longer charges either phone. I used to have to play with it for a while to get it to start charging, but now it just doesn't charge at all, so we have to use the little base to charge both phones. However, in the last two days, we've noticed that the little base is beginning to do it as well. The battery sucks!!! Within two or three hours, it is dead and we have to charge it again for two or three hours. PLEASE do not waste your money on this HORRID phone! These are the only phones we have at present, so we're stuck with it until we have the money to buy a proper phone. Don't put yourself into this situation. We assumed since it was such an expensive phone and that it was AT&T, that it would be a great phone. Nope. No such luck!
