Great for personal use....but....,
By Mark Wilson (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AT&T 2462 2.4 GHz DSS 2-Line Cordless Phone with Answering System, Speakerphone, and Corded Base (Metallic Black) (Office Product)
Since it's a 2line phone I would assume it's aimed at the small biz Home/biz market. Not a good shot, AT&T. You scored "A+" on sound quality on the speakerphone/headset/handset, but your feature set was designed by your consumer division instead of small office/home office person(s). This phone needs to be able to default to the local area code so you could easily dial out of CID memory (without hitting a button 4 times)... there is no true "Speed Dial"... so you can't store phone card info and have your phone do rapid dial for multiple calls. There is no default setup for priority line pickup. The keyboard layout is awkward and the soft keys have up-arrows on them when they can also be a down arrow soft key..... AT&T, if you could combine the features of some of your other two-line desk phones (like the model 972)with the sound quality and long DTMF signal of the buttons on this phone, you'd have a winner. One last note... the remote handset is excellent and would score very high except it cannot be turned off to save battery life or your nap...

I Like This Phone System,
By Woodsprite "thewoodsprite" (MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AT&T 2462 2.4 GHz DSS 2-Line Cordless Phone with Answering System, Speakerphone, and Corded Base (Metallic Black) (Office Product)
Reading some of the complaints here, I suppose one must admit there is some merit to them (ie: phonebook/memory dial incompatibility between handsets, no memory access during phone calls, answering machine recording quality), though I do think they are being a bit too critical. I love this phone system for my home office and home use. It has excellent range and clarity. I've had the system for a year now and do not experience the kind of battery life contraction that one user reported. I am actually impressed by the battery longevity and lack of charge-killing "memory" as previous cordless phones have done. I just bought another extension phone yesterday because I'll be moving to additional space in the basement. I love that I don't have to wire another phone jack, I just plug in the additional handset and am free to roam. I find the built-in speakerphone on each handset especially helpful, in addition to answering machine access from any handset. There is an intercom system so you can route a call to another handset or the base, which I find very useful for my small business. I also use an optional headset so I can talk hands-free while continuing my work. The clarity of the outgoing answering machine message is not the best, though I find that it actually seems fuzzier when listening through the speaker than it does when I call home and hear it through the phone. I use the answering system for my home telephone line but do use voicemail for my business line, having the answering machine on as a backup. Overall, I am very happy with this phone system and am impressed by its sturdiness (I tend to be a bit clumsy and do drop mine occasionally); it has a good "in-hand feel"--it doesn't feel cheap like the competitor's phones I researched before choosing this one. I am very satisfied with its reliability and its performance. I know one of my customers uses this system for her store and she likes hers, too.

Nice call quality, but maddening user interface,

Like other work-at-home users, I want to have my home line in line 1 and work line in line 2. You can't default line 2 to be the primary line, so initiating calls from line 2 can be a hassle because of the awkward key/handset sequence required. Also, using "hold" and switching between 1 and 2 simply didn't work -- once line 1 was activated, I couldn't get it to disconnect.It's frustrating -- I've returned two phones recently, have done a lot of research, and there seem to be no obviously superior phones out there. Someone who can make a high voice quality, multi-line phone with a good feature set and a good user interface could print money.
