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.

I purchased this handset to extend the life of our current multi-line system. It works well enough for our business where we use the phone all day long calling and receiving phone calls. The design is fairly ergonomic - the designer was actually thinking about how phones fit in a person's hand and how people use phones. The handsets are very durable. Ours get dropped all the time (because we have some clutzy people here) and even when a rubberband is needed to hold them together, they still work well. You can use headsets on these. They also have speakerphone and hold. You can set the ring tones and volume for each line so that you can tell which line is ringing. The charger base is small enough to fit almost anywhere. The range is good, as well. Our store isn't huge, but it is several thousand sqft and we can take these phones everywhere. Our phone came with a charger and belt clip. if you buy new, I think that this is standard. These are extension handsets, so you will need the base unit phone system to have them work, of course.

If you are considering buying these with the base unit phone system, you might want to reconsider. There are a couple things that I do not like about the phone system -- if you are on the line when a call comes in, your call gets interrupted for a split second while the phone rings. Very annoying and can be confusing to people on the other line. The other thing that I do not like is that anyone can pick up another handset and cut into your conversation! It comes off as very unprofessional when a coworker picks up another handset trying to make a call on the line that you are already using, "I'm on this line!" Or when two people answer the phone at the same time. I am currently looking for a new system that will take care of these issues, but the extra handset will help give me a little more time to get the right system for us.

Very good price and delivery.
I have several of these phones which are not the greatest, however there isn't much choice in 2 line phones.

Purchased 4 of these phones to add to existing system. All phones perfect and service great.

We have bought many of these recondtioned phone and have always been in new condition. Very Happy1

I would like to "focus my comments on the product", however, it STILL has not arrived, 4 weeks after the order was placed, for which I paid $11.47 shipping to expedite the order!

Received item in a timely manner. Wish product would have come with a side clip to carry around, but otherwise unit works great.

I already own the E252 system with 4 handsets, and it works fine. However, the the power supply for the 2 additional handsets that I bought, do not work. I cannot recharge the phones without using one of my old chargers. It is ridiculous that such a thing can happen with a big company like AT&T.
