I fully charged the battery and used it to make a local call. I was looking forward to getting this phone, but first of all, I wanted a phone that was wall-mountable. The clarity was very good, but then I noticed that it was echoing a little bit. This was advertised as such, but the bracket was missing and the seller didn't have one. I was going to try to locate one, but then I decided to at least try the phone first. The deciding factor came when after 15 minutes on the phone, the battery just died. This phone has some very good features, but the bottom line was it just didn't measure up so I sent it back.
Love everything about this phone. Lots of nifty "cell phone" like extras. Works great, battery has held up well. Easy to program. Only beef is the screen is convex and easily scratched if you set it on a flat surface face down. I wish I had bought a screen protector for it.
Programming was easy, the standard message simple and clear enough to use without adding a custom message, even though I did add my own.There are separate phonebooks in the handset and the base, each capable of storing up to 50 entries, and the handset screens incoming messages. AT&T E5965C 5.8 GHz Cordless Answering System with Speakerphone Caller IDI replaced a failing Panasonic corded phone with this compact cordless model after testing several at my local electronics store. Call transfer, 3-way conference calls and last number redial are additional functions of this unit. I chose the AT&T E5965C for a number of reasons-style, the feel of the handset (solid), ease of use and functionality. A belt clip and wall mount are included.What I got was a well made, attractive and multi-functional unit with expansion capability (up to eight handsets). Two lithium batteries are included (Note: directions state only lithium batteries should be used)/Caller ID and Call Waiting are included capabilities if you subscribe to these services. Both handset and base are programmable with features such as ringer volume, ringer melody, remote access, and caller log review.All in all, this is an easy phone to set up and one that offers superior performance.Recommended.
Now the second handset has a broken 0 zero; we can no longer anyone in our local area codes (703, 301 and 202). I loved this phone when I first got it but about a year later the problems started to crop up. This past week we had an electrical storm and an extended power outage. We have the main base station and an extra handset and charger. The LCD on one of the handsets no longer lights up and as a result the characters are so dark that it's hard to see the caller id or to choose an entry from the phone book's memory. Ever since the power was returned both handsets has a lot of white noise when you are making calls but when I use my OLD corded phone on the same phone jack and rj-11 cable, the corded phone is very clear. Now I want to throw both of them directly in the TRASH.
Have had this phone for a year or more. I do child care so need a reliable phone with good clear reception. Really like all the features in fact don't use all of them. But for the price and I need a good clear phone with awesome reception this is a great phone. I can go outside and move all around my 1/2 acre yard and have no interruptions. I recommend this phone in fact going to get one for our daugther and granddaughter.
