2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing quality, August 21, 2006

By	AlanP (Cincinnati OH) - See all my reviews

I bought this last week and will be returning it today. While I can usually hear phone conversations OK, the quality of the voice is not very good - usually has some static. The user manual is incomplete and confusing (for example, blinking codes on base display are not explained; words printed on the phone parts are not in the index - the user manual uses different words for the same parts!), editing caller id info in the user directory does not update the corresponding info in the caller id list (phones from Panasonic and Sony do this correctly - AT&T does not). If you want to buy a quality 5.8 GHz phone, try any other brand. AT&T goofed on the quality and design of this one!

1.0 out of 5 stars Problem prone unit, January 3, 2007

By	Jerry C. Bridges (San Francisco Bay Area) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Am pleased with unit in most respects except erratic performance. Features are good,but dialing using the stored numbers bring this unit to the edge of unacceptability. It often requires 2 or more dialing attempts and sometimes connects with no audio reception---while the person called can hear everything including a few unsavory comments concerning the unit. The troubleshooting portion of the manual is an insight to the inherent problems and making it clear that returning it for repair would be useless. Following troubleshooting instructions provided no relief. I would return this unit for a refund if possible though. I fully expect to have to replace this unit in the near future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear reception, works well, May 19, 2007

By	C. MACPHAIL "cmacphail3" (Solana Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have the 4-phone version of this (E5947B), purchased on sale at Best Buy for about 50% more than Amazon's 2-phone offering.

I've had it for 6 months. Everyone is happy with it. The voice quality is very good, and no reception problems in our wireless LAN equipped home.

The intercom feature is quite useful if you have 4 people in a large home. It's easy to transfer or forward calls to another extension.

Minor drawbacks are as follows:

1. The wall-plug transformers run a little hot, even if the phone is charged and even if the phone is out of the cradle. 4 of these running 365x24 will add to your electric bill. Sad that AT&T does not bother with energy-smart charging.

2. If your hands are full, you can't wedge the phone between your chin and neck. You'll probably pinch the "Off" button and disconnect.

3. The quality of the recorded messages is fairly bad. No excuse for this.

4. Phone supports caller ID. If you don't have caller ID, you will find 2 minor annoyances: The phone does not auto-answer when it's ringing and you take it off the cradle. Also, if the main base unit loses power, it loses track of time. You have to reset the clock. Very feeble. If you use caller ID it automatically sets (or resets) the time.

Overall, we are happy with it. Don't know if there is 5-star product out there.
