5.0 out of 5 stars Good Phone with all the needed functions without an electrical brick!, July 1, 2009

This review is from: AT&T CL2909 Corded Phone, White, 1 Handset (Office Product)

Just went and bought this phone today after considerable research. And so far it is meeting expectations.

My needs in order of priority:
1. No electrical hookup - should run off phone line, like all old analog phones
2. Need speaker phone for occasional conference calls
3. Need Caller ID to screen calls.
4. Nice to have - programmable phone number bank
5. Ringer control - should be able to turn off ringer or make it go to visual
6. Should be able to put caller on hold or mute.
7. No answering machine needed


Needless to say - this was the only phone I found which could meet all of the above. The need to have one phone in the house which can be used if the electricity is off just made all the other phones miss out in some other aspects in the list above. Mostly they wouldnt have caller ID. All these features in this phone work on 4 -AA batteries and we will see how the consumption rate on that is.

It was easy to setup, though the wall mount , did have an issue with the hook for the handset. It just wouldnt slide out.... had to bring the screw driver and pry it loose.

Next, I will programme the frequently dialed numbers and see how that goes. It seems fairly easy from the instruction book.

So far I have tested the speakerphone and the handset - the sound quality is great! Our previous phone was introducing a lot of static in the calls, so this is a good replacement and I am happy with the price. ANd we have freed up one of the electrical sockets as this needs no electric connection!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Phone - More Features than Promised, August 20, 2009

This is a great phone for those of us who still like to have a corded phone in the house. Everything was as advertised, except that it has a 25 number programmable directory in addition to the 14 "one touch" numbers. The online description and the package information fail to mention this great feature. I was almost ready to spring for the next model which for twice the price promised a 50 number directory.
I also like AT&T's caller ID software that can be set up to know whether incoming calls need 7, 10, or 11 digits for a call back. Some other phones make you toggle through the 7, 10, and 11 digit options woth the # key before you can call back.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mute button kills the deal, July 30, 2009

This review is from: AT&T CL2909 Corded Phone, White, 1 Handset (Office Product)

I was hoping to use this phone for business purposes. I work from home and often dial in to the office for on a conference bridge. When I'm not speaking I like to put the phone on mute in case my dog begins barking or there is some other background noise. Unfortunately this phone produces a loud clicking sound that is audible to the other party when the mute button is pressed (not to mention a loud beep in my ear). I simply cannot dial in to a meeting if my phone is going to produce noises that will annoy the other people on the line or constantly make them wonder if someone has hung up.
