Buttons are easy to read. Good reception both indoors and out. Wide volume range. Initially purchased the base unit and a single handset. Plan to order two additional handsets.

The speaker phone is crystal clear. The phone is great so far. I like the addition base phone. It is well worth the money.

We've had our phone system for more than a year. It works great. We have a base unit and 3 other phones in our two story home. No problems.

This product is excellent. I was primarily interested in just a cordless phone with speakerphone in the base. This unit does that very well and a lot more for a fraction of the price of other models. Call quality is very good. But don't buy from ANTOnline. They charge a lot for shipping and have terrible support policies. When my unit arrived the handset didn't work. I called AT&T and they quickly determined it was the battery and I needed to resolve that with the seller. I tried to but only got a email response that I had to return the whole unit. Then in looking at their reviews and at their return policy I learned that I would be charged a restocking fee because I broke the seal when I opened the box containing the phone! I tried to contact then to suggest they just credit me for the cost of a battery and got no response. I'm not going to get burned as some others did by trying to work with them further, I'll just get the $5 replacement battery elsewhere.

This phone was of very poor design. If trying to hold on shoulder phone would hang up. If picking up near the volumn control on side of handset phone would hand up. No redial on phone. Did not like this phone at all. Have returned.

After about 15 minutes of use, voice quality rapidly deteriorates to the point that conversation is impossible. It then stays in that state for at least a day. Returning it to Amazon.

I bought this phone which works great now that I have a working battery for it. It was shipped to me from Antonline with a battery that didn't work. When I tried to exchange it for a new one they were extremely uncooperative and said that I would have to return the item (possibly be subjected to a restocking fee) and place the order again. Instead I found a replacement battery and bought that-phone works great now!

I bought this phone as a christmas present for my mom who's old one stopped working . I loved the look of this one and all the features it had.. she chargesd it and checked the connections but it doesn't work.. only the speaker phone works .. so dissapointing .. is it too much to ask that a phone actually work?? i should have bought a uniden like the one i have, its' worked great for 6 years never a problem

I bought this phone because my old one was pooping out. This phone doesn't work. The handset will not charge. I assume the battery that came with it is bad, or possibly the whole handset is defective. The base works very well, but is not really useful without a handset. I will contact the seller next week (it's Saturday) to try to resolve this problem. But I wouldn't recommend this phone from this seller since the components clearly have not been checked. Luckily, my old phone started working again, at least for the time being.

I purchased this phone through ANTOnline. (AT&T E5917).
The answering system is OK but the cordless handset was defective. I contacted AT&T and we both determined (AT&T and I) that they phone was defective and they told me I had to contact ANTOnline. I contacted ANTOnline and they told me to contact AT&T directly, so I tried emailing AT&T. After giving AT&T information back and forth in the email they told me to contact them through the phone. And around and around it goes. I cannot waste anymore of my time for a $10 handset. I am very disappointed in AT&T and find that their customer service is not what it used to be. So let the buyer beware -- cannot return defective items!!!!
