Cingular Go Phone: AT&T ATT SL82558 DECT 6.0 Answering Phone System Expandable up to 12 w/ 5 Handsets Review

I've had this phone set since July 2008.It's the same basic phone as has been well reviewed by others here, the only difference being it comes with a total of 5 handsets (including the base).It's been a dependable phone until recently, and I suspect that after nearly 2 years it needs a battery change-- which I find reasonable.The answering machine works well and if you add or delete a phone number to one handset, it's automatically updated on all the others, which is really nice.It has a page feature if you lose a handset (it happens).The phones are easy to program and easy to use.

However, it's not perfect.Recently I have had problems near my computer wireless system with folks on the other side of a conversation saying they can't hear me.Hopefully, the new battery will solve that, as it's only started happening in the last few months.My biggest complaint - which I noticed from the first time I used it -- is that despite the fact I hear well, the volume is sometimes too soft and there's no way to adequately jack it up.Other cons are that you aren't notified on the handset if you have a message on the answering machine (Uniden phones tend to give you an alert), and if there's a way to pick up messages from the handset instead of the base I haven't yet figured it out.

I've had a lot of cordless phones.Unidens have died on me too quickly.In general, this AT&T is a solid, dependable model that is a good buy considering the number of handsets you get.I recommend it.
