Reviews of AT&T DECT 6.0 Expandable Cordless Phone with Answering System, Silver/Black with 2 Handset

Great system that shoots down marketing calls in mid air
For DAYS, I researched home phone systems and finally narrowed it down to this model and the Panasonic KX-TGE433B. We needed one with an answering system and thought a call blocker would be great, too, especially since we have a real problem with marketing calls on our landline. However, the Smart Call
Blocker instructions seemed too complicated so I was leery about purchasing this model. But ultimately, we decided on this AT&T model. And WE LOVE IT! The Smart Call Blocker isn't that hard to program after all. I set it up so that people who aren't on our Allow List just have to push the # key, then they get right through. Believe it or not, I almost miss the marketers! LOL! Our old phones went back to 2002 and '03 so this system is a huge upgrade for us technologically speaking. Love it love it love it!

 I'm in love
I think I'm in love. We were getting 10-20 robocalls a day and I was on the verge of getting rid of my landline or punching someone. My phone company wanted $8/month to add the screening feature, which didn't stop every robocall. In the five days we have been using this phone, we haven't received one robocall. Not one. The instruction sheet is a little intimidating, but the phone wasn't that hard to set up. You have a couple of options when screening calls. I selected the option of requesting the caller to speak his/her name and press the pound key. If the caller doesn't do that, the call doesn't ring through. It has a built-in answering machine (another extra charge from my for-profit phone provider). I will update this review if I fall out of love, but so far I'm happy.

Update: My landline provider charges me over $100/year for caller I.D. When I had the phone company remove this feature, the Smart Block feature would not work. Don't ask me why, it just doesn't. Silly me--I thought Smart Call Blocker would screen any incoming calling that weren't in my directory. That said, 1-1/2 years later, I'm still loving the phone. And if I had a nickel for everyone who asked me how I got my phone to do this, I'd be rich.
