Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

A two-line phone from AT&T, the 952 is a corded desktop unit with a number of user-friendly features. A built-in speakerphone provides an easy way to conduct hands-free conversations, and a headset jack is also provided for your convenience. Switching between the two lines is a snap, while three-way conferencing lets you connect to both lines at once.

The redial feature lets you dial the last outgoing number with the touch of a button, while the speakerphone mute feature allows you to hear the other party without them hearing you. The speed dial memory can hold up to 32 numbers, which can be up to 24 digits long, and the 16 one-touch buttons and 16 two-touch buttons which make up the speed dial, each have their own directory card space on the base.

Line status lights visually let you know when a line is on hold or when you have a new incoming call. Volume controls let you adjust handset, speaker, and headset volume, while both tone and pulse dialing modes are provided in case you need to switch to one or the other.

A data port lets you attach peripherals such as a fax machine or computer modem to line two, allowing you to pick up calls on line one without interrupting your Internet connection or incoming fax. The 952 has a 8.625-by-8.125-inch footprint and is wall-mountable, freeing up desktop space completely. It comes backed with a one-year warranty on both parts and labor.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Home Office Phone, November 3, 2003

By	Jennifer Juday "Working Mom & Cook" (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This phone is working very well as my home office phone, and it is getting a lot of use. After trying a really cheap phone and being unhappy with it, I spent a little more for this and have been very pleased.
- It has more space than I'll ever need for programmable numbers (32) (though the sequence needed to record a new number is not particularly intuitive/memorable).
- It saves programmed numbers when the power goes off. (It saved all my numbers for several days during a move.)
- It has an Auto Redial button, also a nice timesaver.
- The Mute button works well.
- It has Speaker, Handset & Headset options, which you can switch between at any time.
- It allows you to adjust the volume of what you are listening to (with enough range to work well for me).
- Handset has a nice heft, fits the ear reasonably well, and decent sound.
- Keyboard feels reasonably nice and has stood up to a year of use. .
- Speakerphone has good pickup from two feet away.

I have found only a few disadvantages. The phone beeps when you switch modes (to speaker, for example) and when you adjust the volume. You need learn to use mute *beforehand* if you don't want to create a distraction during a conference call. Also, I have tried a couple of different headsets with this phone, and consistently hear that my volume is too low when I have set it as high as possible, which makes me wonder if there is a phone issue with that.

I don't use two lines, but it also has the capacity for two lines, with hold and conference buttons.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless phone!, August 25, 2003

By	R. Ieronimo (Haverhill, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Decent looking phone however the ringers are so whisper quiet---even on the HI setting---that you cannot hear the phone ring! I first bought this phone at Best Buy, returned it for this reason. A week later I found it a little cheaper at Staples so I thought I'd give it another shot in case the first one was defective. No dice---same inaudible rings. Definitely avoid this phone!
