Effective, economical and expandable - great product!January 7, 2009 This is just the best cordless telephone system I have ever had - better range, easier to use and program, excellent call quality. (As a onetime worldwide troubleshooter and installer of air traffic control and communications systems, I am very much a stickler and "picky" about electronics and comm systems; my wife says I am very hard to please on these issues.)
After a full charge, they were fully ready to use, truly plug 'n' play - and no interference at all with / from my WiFi network, and perfect for my digital telephone service from SureWest (shared with high speed internet access and digital TV on their excellent fiber optic system.) The base can be wall-mounted or merely placed on a horizontal, flat surface. I've not experienced any dropouts or signal attenuation in and in the immediate vicinity of my house, and voice clarity is superb, with no spurious noise.
The controls and commands are logical and easy to execute (and you can choose English, Spanish or French,) and in my case the ringer and voice volumes are quite sufficient. I like the ability to add to the directory from any handset, though only the base unit itself needs to be connected to the actual telephone line. Other highlights are great battery times and lightness - consumer tests show many prefer heavy-feeling equipment because we associate "solidity" with quality, but that resulted in some manufacturers adding useless dead weight for "touch and feel" - none of that here, the handsets are light, lighted and readable, and the illuminated buttons are easy to use even with my large hands. I have used a headset plugged into a handset for conference calls, and again, it works flawlessly. The "record" feature is handy to record product specifications or details from a client or caller.
The easy path to expandability to an amazing 12 handsets means this set can be used in a very large house, and the system also works as an intercom. If there is any downside at all, the system does not have a privacy feature - you can not block all other handsets from listening in to a call, so if eavesdropping is a problem in your house, wait for a system with privacy features from AT&T Inc. (remember, SBC Communications purchased several "baby Bells," Ameritech, AT&T Corporation and the name, so technically it is not really the old AT&T Corp. we think of when we see the initials,) or spend for one of the few systems that allow handset blocking.
What I would like on the next iteration of this phone: more than 50 allowable directory entries, and longer than the available fourteen minutes for voicemail recording - perhaps an expansion memory possibility using a Micro-SD memory card or the like. As others have said, I would like to program in a handset name, not merely see a default number, e.g "office," "bedroom" and etc. (Of course this all brings it to the realm of a professional, not home, system, but I can dream.)
Yes, I am picky - nonetheless, after a month's use, I love this phone system, and as stated, it is the best performing home cordless system I have had, and the most expandable as well. I have rated five stars because the system is heads above the others (and I have had several cordless systems from different manufacturers, including Panasonic and Siemens over the years.)
Just what we needed.......January 6, 2009 Phone is very clear and we like the fact we can expand so many headsets. Is missing some of the features I had on my uniden but all in all were happy. Consumer reports bust buy!!!!!
great phoneJanuary 6, 2009 The AT&T SL82318 DECT 6.0 Digital Three Handset Answering System (Silver/Gray) is a fantastic product. We have not changed the answering machine message it is so polite. I love thae different ways you can set the ringer. We have bought other phone systems in the past, but this is the best.
better then expectedJanuary 6, 2009 This is the best phones we have had they really work well hope that they last time will tell
Fantastic!!!December 30, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you have been looking for a cordless phone set, look no more!! This has got to be the best phone system I have ever used! The features of the phone are phenominal and are all useful! The absolute best thing about these phones is the range! My family lives in a small town and we can literally take our cordless phone with use to a neighbors home six doors away and this phone still works & is crystal clear!!
Another nice feature is that only the base unit requires a phone line. All of the other handsets only need an outlet, which is convenient for placing the handsets virtually anywhere! The display screen lets you know if someone is using the phones so you don't accidentally pick up a handset during a conversation and start dialing another number (happened quite frequently in my home!) The intercom feature is also very useful as well as the speaker phone feature, which is available on all the handsets, not just the base unit. I like the nice light up feature of the phones at night, makes viewing the numbers very easy.
We have used Uniden, Panasonic & other manufacturers cordless phone sets & this is hands down the best phone to date. I read the review in Consumer Reports as well as reading the reviews here on Amazon and based my purchase on that information. I am extremely pleased with the decision to buy these phones and I'm sure anyone else buying this product will be also!
