3.0 out of 5 stars Hurts my ear, November 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: AT&T 9520 900 MHz Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless Phone (Office Product)

This phone has great range and clarity. It's also very small and light, making it quite portable. However, it doesn't have many features, the volume is low and not adjustable, and the dang thing is so small that someone with stubby fingers would have trouble dialing. Also, it's uncomfortable to use. The phone wasn't right for me and I returned it for the ATT 9400. But it's good at what it's designed for.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT really headset compatible, February 25, 2000

This review is from: AT&T 9520 900 MHz Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless Phone (Office Product)

I specifically purchased the AT&T 9520 to use with a headset. I even bought the "recommended" (by Amazon.com) AT&T headset. When I received the phone, I discovered that there was inadequate headset microphone amplification resulting in callers not being able to hear me speaking. And this is NOT a headset problem. I tried several different headsets (Jabra, Plantronics, Radio Shack) and they all had the same problem. All of these headsets worked fine with a Northwestern Bell 39512 2-line 900MHz phone that I bought AFTER I gave up on the AT&T 9520. The only good point to this phone is the phenomenal range, but this is typical of 900MHz DSS phones. Bottom line - good phone for the money if you're not going to use a headset.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goes where no conventional cordless has gone before, December 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: AT&T 9520 900 MHz Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless Phone (Office Product)

This phone is my first excursion into the world of 900 MHz telephones. I am quite pleased with this product. It has at least two times the range of my old AT&T 5470 which it replaced. The battery back-up for the base station is a useful feature, especially if you are stuck with an unreliable electric utility company. The handset is noticeably smaller than a conventional cordless and is very portable. A user will find the keypad difficult to use only if he has fingers the size of bananas. I also purchased the AT&T 90800 headset for use with this phone and recommend it as a useful accessory. Overall, this phone has proven to be as advertised.
