The BEST cordless phone system available!, January 5, 2006
This review is from: AT&T E5925B 5.8 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Answering System (Black) (Office Product)
I currently own the 2.4GHz version of this phone (AT&T 2725B silver) but the features are the exact same as this 5.8GHz model. This 5.8GHz model gives better range for bigger homes, and it is expandable just like the other model. However, the 2.4GHz is adequate for use in a WiFi home. Below is the review I wrote for my 2.4GHz model, but rest assured I have used the 5.8GHz and it is the same except for the range...

"I received this phone as a gift after my GE 900MHz died during its first year. I owned an AT&T cordless phone for about ten years, and I only paid about $50 for it at the time. Once it was time for a new one I quickly bought the GE 900MHz since it was cheap and I was in a hurry. What a mistake!
Like I said, this phone was a gift since it was known I was desperately looking for another reliable phone. I am extremely happy with this cordless phone and answering system! AT&T is a VERY reliable brand and stands by their products. I'll run through some of the main features to help you with your decision.
Cell Phone-like design: These phones are small in design but not too small for someone with vision problems. Similar to cell phones, these phones feature green and red buttons with phone icons on them for the "on" and "off" which are also labled.
Smart directory: Also similar to cell phones, these phones feature a revolutionary smart directory. You can store names and numbers which are automatically alphabetized for quick dialing. Another nice perk is that once you add numbers to the phone book, the name you enter for a number is how it will be displayed on Caller ID when that person calls. For example, if you enter Samantha for 555-555-5555 in the directory, it will show up as...
Samantha
555-555-5555
instead of Doe, Samantha or whatever else. It is necessary to include the area codes in the numbers if you wish to take advantage of this feature, even for local numbers, and you can dial the area code with local numbers without any problems or extra charges to your phone bill. This directory is stored in the base unit, so both handsets share the information without having to enter numbers into both phones.
Speakerphone: Both handsets have fully functional speakerphones which are very convenient and sacrifice nothing with regards to quality of sound.
Digital Answering System: This is once of the easiest answering systems to set up and use. The systems will announce choices in the menu and the display will show you whether the option is currently selected as "on" or "off." Remote access also comes standard.
Extra handset: The extra handset only requires a standard AC outlet without having to be plugged into a phone line. This was a great feature for me, since I didn't care where the base unit was but wanted total freedom as to where the extra handset was located. This freedom is great! Total convenience!
I'm sure there are many more features about this phone that I love, but these are the ones that come to mind the most. If you have been looking for a great phone and don't want to settle, this is the one for you. The price is definitely well worth it!"

Great phones., August 9, 2006
This review is from: AT&T E5925B 5.8 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Answering System (Black) (Office Product)
The first cordless phones we've had that you do not hear a buzz while you're talking. The "find handset" button actually keeps beeping until you find the handset, so that it doesn't take 2 people. The phone shape is too difficult to hold between your ear and shoulder, but my chiropractor says you shouldn't do that anyway.
