5.0 out of 5 stars Ordered Used, & Seems Great!!

Size: 1 HandsetPattern Name: PhoneVerified Purchase
Prior to this phone, I had the Vtech version for a few years (& it's terrible!! Don't do it just to save a few bucks, buy anything else). So this AT&T one I settled on after looking at one by Panasonic, this one had better reviews. I ordered it from the Amazon Warehouse "Very Good" and it arrived in the box, with all the parts and plastic protectors. It works perfectly. Only small issues, the number 8 is a bit wonky, like it's got a small rock under the button, so just need to be deliberate when pressing it. The other issue was the handset battery cover occasionally fell off, but after really looking into it, if anything it's a design flaw. I made sure all the little hooks were aligned, and so far it's fine.
There are lots of reviews that people mentioned the directions being complicated, I did not find that true. The machine walks you through setup (so you don't need the manuel, tho it does help clarify things if you want to know more detailed things about the phone). This phone works with out power, at least for in and out going calls (the Vtech version did not, only allowed outgoing). When power returns, this phone does start over with its tutorial setup. I thought it had erased everything, but if you have already set it up and the power goes out, even if it prompts you, you do not have to reset up everything. You can skip it, and your presets are all still saved.
The main thing you need to do, if youre using the smart blocker, is to make sure to add anyone you actually want calling you without hassle, to the directory (basically save their number). You can manually enter them or if they call, you can add the number from caller ID. You can also block people who made it through from the directory or when they call. Anyways, add the people you want to just ring through like normal, and anyone else, when they are announced, you pick up and still get to choose if you want to talk, save, block, or send them to the machine, without them even knowing you are on the line. Each one of these options has an assigned number (1-4). So most important, add to the directory & remember the functions of numbers (tho the phone will tell u each time, it's faster if you just know: "1=answer 4=send to the machine"). Saving or blocking can be done afterwards, if you can't remember the other numbers. I say faster because the person on the line, after announcing themselves to the smart blocker, gets put on hold. They don't hear a ringing, they hear a long beep or buzzing (which if you didn't know what smart blocker is, you may think there's been an error on the connection).
I'm making this sound more complicated than it is, it's really simple and the phone prompts you for everything. There's even different smart block options, where u "screen/block"everyone except directory numbers, or only unlisted numbers get the smart blocker, or everything comes through. There's a fair amount of customization. I have not figured out how to use the intercom from the base (not sure it's even an option), but the handheld has a button on the side and you have to pick the receiving device (ex. "Base" or if you have other wireless phones), and hit the "select" button, then the intercom goes through.
The sound is clear, the volume is great. I haven't tried adjusting the tone. The setting screen is a bit weird, seems like it skips categories sometimes, but it all functions. I love the way the phone looks. The buttons are big and light up orange on the handheld. As long as the base is plugged in you can add several wireless sets to your home. You only need an electrical outlet for the wireless base, not a phone line, so you can put a wireless phone anywhere in your home, which is awesome. I don't think the phone has a customizable ring tone, the default one it has is classic ring, but still kinda digital sounding (not like an old school metal ringing). I like it, it's loud without being jarring or sharp.
Only had the phone for a week, but I really like the look and the functions so far. The power went out, day after I put it up, so I did get to test it in that scenario (which is basically why I have a landline). It worked as expected. I do not regret buying a used version, though if I do buy used it's always "like new", but I took a gamble on this, and I'm glad I did! I would totally recommend this phone, and the discounted ones from the warehouse (I have gotten bad things from the warehouse, but 95% of the time the items are fantastic and don't look used at all). With "Very Good" I was expecting it to have scratches somewhere noticable, or missing manual, but nope! I am happy with this purchase. Paid as much as I did for the vTech nightmare phone, and this one is SOOOO much nicer!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this phone except for one issue
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2022

The Call Block on this phone has made our quality of life so much better. We've had the phone 8 months and ALL robo calls and spam calls have stopped. It's been incredible. Our directory and “allowed” callers are filled with our family & friends, including medical providers and service companies. No one else gets through because it's set so the caller has to state their name and then press #. Most spammers don't do it, and the robo calls never get that far… they can't deal with having to follow instructions! The ONLY problem with this phone is the Caller Announcement. It is a computer generated voice, and it's the worst Siri-type thing I've ever encountered. Essentially worthless. Can't pronounce anything correctly, we laugh at the attempts to pronounce a name. Our relatives are named Simpson. It says “Shimpson”. Instead of Scott it says “Scote”. I mean really AT&T, for such a smart and sophisticated phone can't you do better than that?

I had been looking for a new phone for my home office. My old phone was an AT&T model and I liked it because the viewing screen was adjustable and the buttons were easy to view. I hesitated to buy a new one because it took me forever to program the old one correctly. However the old one was starting to malfunction. I looked at several Other AT&T models before deciding on this one. I use it as a landlineAnd in answering system. I don't use the wireless phone that comes with it. In part I liked the style of it and I could see all the numbers pretty easily. I didn't really understand what the call blocking feature was and whether it would work. All I know is that I would often get 30 telemarketer calls per day when I worked in my home office. I didn't know if they knew when I was home but it was very annoying. I would just unplug the phone.Well when I bought this phone I was impressed that it was pretty much plug and play. The voice menu took me through the features and it was very easy to set up. It let me set up this call screening feature so that callers would need to Identify themselves before being put through. I had pretty low expectations of this feature. I was wrong-it works flawlessly. I don't hear any of the 30 calls that come in each day. One or two make it through the screening and are calls that I want to take or messages that have some relevance for me. Every day I work at my home office I am grateful for buying this phone. The sound quality is much better than the previous model I had. I have no negative feedback or experience regarding this model and its features. Would highly recommend it. Wish I had purchased it sooner.

This phone is great - you can set it up so that robo calls don’t come through. I still haven’t gotten the caller announce to work right though. Not sure if it’s a product problem or a user problem.

Bought for elderly friend with beginning stage dementia, loves answering the phone no matter who called. No longer an issue as unless they say their name and push pound sign they aren’t connected to him anymore. A sigh of relief for me as he doesn’t understand about all of the scammers these days Highly recommended this product. 5 stars isn’t enough
