I had tried different phones. What I liked about this phone is the wired base unit so that I never have to worry about battery . The unit has red light showing Answering Machine is on as well as blinking red light showing new messages . The keys are large. The display screen is very conveniently located, size and clarity are very good. I ordred two hand sets and going to order more. The hand-set intercome feature is very useful. I have two story yhouse and I am moving a lot. This feature makes it easier to communicate with other members of the house.
The Amazon service has remained consistently good. I am glad to have this unit.

I'm a long time AT&T customer, and I'm going waaaaaay back when the only phone company in America was AT&T.
My first phone was from Illinois Bell and it was a solid piece of construction, weighed a ton too. However, it lasted for over 30 years before it finally died out. What a phone! It had just TWO functions, receive and make calls...that's it.
Now this new DECT 6.0 phone is light years ahead of the old and now defunct Illinois Bell phone. The weight of the HANDSET & BASE are light but solid construction. The sound clarity is absolutely outstanding. The BASE is laid out just right with a nice LARGE and brightly lit screen. The large buttons are very easy to see because of the silver background. The HANDSET is laid out just right with a nice SMALL and brightly lit screen. The HANDSET was ready to use in under 30 minutes and fully charged in less than 60 minutes. The buttons on the HANDSET have a nice orange glow for easy viewing. However, I think the orange glow could be a little more ORANGE but no big deal...I'm not complaining.
The answer machine is ready to go with an outgoing announcement already recorded, which you can change with your own announcement. No more tape machines, everything is recorded on a micro-chip...talk about futuristic. Setting the time and date was a snap. In fact, all of the settings are a snap to configure. This is a very "user friendly" phone.
You can have different ring tones for both the BASE & HANDSET. There's an equalizer for two types of Treble, one Bass, and one Natural, and a six level volume control.
Using Your Phone During a Power Failure:
In a power failure the HANDSET will not work but that's OK since the BASE is functional. Some features in the BASE will not function in a black-out but you can still send and receive phone calls. During a black-out, the phone is capable of getting its power/electricity directly through the telephone cord.
SUGGESTIONS TO AT&T:
With the advent of LED lighting, why not "backlit" ALL the keys/buttons on the system, (i.e., MENU/SELECT, the UP & DOWN buttons, the FLASH & CLEAR buttons, and the 7 non-illuminated buttons on the BASE)??
Dump the "orange" backlight on the HANDSET and replace it with white LED lights!
Also, add a function that allows the user to control how long the BASE/HANDSET light(s) stay on before going into power-saving mode.

I will confess up front that I don't like AT&T and their monopolistic ways, and would happily have paid $50 more for somebody else's cordless phone. But Consumer Reports said the audio quality on this one was better than any of the others they tested. That was important to me; our previous cordless (from GE) sounded worse than a cheap cellphone, and we were forever saying, "What?"
So I bought it, secretly hoping I would find some reason to hate it and send it back. Alas, it's a really good product. Sound quality is excellent, battery life is great, the user interface is clear, and the features are smartly done. So I will be keeping it, and disliking AT&T a smidgen less.

AT&T 84100 DECT 6.0 Corded/Cordless Phone,
This phone operates slightly different than my previous phone. There is a smal learning cure - no big deal though.

great phones
We have base and five handsets, everything works great. You can check and erase messages from any handset. Handsets just plug in outlet, you only need to plug phone line into base. Read more
