Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Get great reception and mobile communication throughout your home with the AT&T E5862 cordless telephone and answering system. This package includes two E580-2 Cordless Handsets plus the base station that also functions as a speakerphone and a digital answering machine. The additional handset comes with a separate charger base that you can conveniently place elsewhere in your home. You can add up to 8 phones to this system. This phone system provides caller ID/call waiting information when subscribed to service, and it has a 50-number call log. It also includes a 50 name/number quick-dial directory.

It transmits over 5.8 GHz DSS technology, offering you the best available performance when it comes to clarity, range, and security. To be on the 5.8 GHz wavelength means you're on a much less trafficked area of the bandwidth than both the 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz products occupy.

The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on how long each message is. Individual messages can be up to 4 minutes long, but total maximum recording time is 25 minutes. Messages will remain available for replay until you delete them. Each handset has a full color graphic display with an icon driven menu for easy control and use, as well as adjustable polyphonic music ring tones. Other features include:

I'm in the process of buying another one for my mom. Favorite feature: along with caller ID, it voices the phone number while it's ringing. That means, that when it rings, I can hear who's calling, enabling me to run to the phone or forget it!!

This item has met or exceeded my expectations. Having 4 around the house makes the intercom feature handy. There is plenty of time on the answering machine and the programming features for each phone provide added flexability.

1.0 out of 5 stars Second AT&T phone will be my last, May 25, 2010

This is the second AT&T phone that I have owned and both have been rubbish! The signal strength needs to be optimal before this phone will work. That is...you have to stand almost right next to the base for it to work. If thats the case you may as well save some money and purchase a cord phone (almost $100 savings).
No more AT&T phones for me!
