Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description The E252 is a 2.4 GHz accessory handset designed for use with AT&T's E2562 phone system (required, sold separately). The E252 has a number of useful features, including support for two-line operation and caller ID/call waiting compatibility. When registered to the E2562 base, the E252 handset provides both intercom and conferencing features, letting you communicate with other phones on the system as well as multiple parties at once.

With just one phone jack, the system supports up to eight extensions throughout your home, depending on your base unit.

A 50-number caller ID memory provides a list of recent incoming calls, while a 50-number phone directory helps you keep track of important numbers. The E2562 phone system supports a total of eight handsets, so you can place extra extensions wherever you need them. Answering machine access from the handset allows you to check messages without having to be near the base.

Additional features include adjustable volume, a new-call indicator, and an illuminated keypad that makes dialing a snap, even in poorly lit environments. A handset speakerphone is provided, as well as headset compatibility, for hands-free communication. The redial feature allows you easily dial any of the last five outgoing numbers, and a low-battery indicator lets you know when to return the handset to its cradle for recharging. The E252 also comes backed by a one-year warranty.

We use the ATT E2562 Expandable base with a full compliment of 8 extra handsets. We use them in conjunction with our Vonage internet phone service which has two lines. The range is very good ... it goes all over the house and even into the neighbor's yard. It works great and gives us a lot of flexibility in putting phones where we want them.

I needed a two-line phone for my home / home office. I looked at a lot of phones, and while none were "perfect" for what I wanted this one is close. I wanted two lines, a base station, and expandible handsets. This phone has all of that. The only thing I didn't need was the answering machine. I use Phone Co. Voice Mail. I wish this phone would tell me that I had messages in the VM, but it doesn't unless you use its built in answering machine. (The SBC phone did show a light when there was VM, but it was not a two line phone).

Running a home office, I can't tell you the convienience of being able to answer the office line anywhere in the house with the push of an "L2" button. This is my favorite feature. You can even make L2 ring differently. (I only wish that the settings like saved phone numbers, ring tones, and caller ID were syncrohinzed on all handsets - you have to set them separately).

Overall, great phone system! I just bought another extension. I am up to 5 now plus the base!

Bought this for my wife's real estate business (at the home.) AT&T knows their business, and it is phones. We have a seperate voicemail system, so if this unit's problems are insurmountable for you, look elsewhere.
Great buttons that did not break like the V-tech unit we had before. Those buttons wore out into mushy oblivion.
