Clear away some clutter on your desk or nightstand with the all-in-one clock, radio, telephone, and caller-ID system from AT&T. You can wake up to music, news, or a forceful alarm and place nighttime calls with the lighted handset. Setting up the 360 was easy--we just plugged in the AC adapter and telephone cord. The backlit LCD display prompted us to set the clock, which we were able to do without the manual. We did glance at the manual before entering the caller ID settings, but the instructions were straightforward. Programming the memory dialing was almost intuitive. The process was a slight variation of AT&T's usual method of pressing the Prog button, dialing the number, pressing the Mem button, and then pressing one of the buttons to store the number. This time we had to press Prog again instead of the Mem button. Setting the clock-radio alarm was a little unusual. On the LCD screen, the radio is called Alarm A, and the buzzer is called Alarm B. (Why not Radio and Buzzer?) In our test, the telephone sounded clear and bright; the lighted handset worked on ordinary line voltage, requiring neither the AC adapter nor the battery; and even without the 9-volt battery, all settings were preserved without AC power for a few minutes. The caller-ID/call-waiting feature includes a bright indicator to let you know you have new caller ID entries in the history list or that a new call is coming in (if you're already on the phone). Pros:
- Sets up in minutes
- Sturdy construction
Cons:
- Imprecise volume control
- Can't view the time when the radio is on

AT&T 360 Clock Radio Corded Phone with Caller ID Reviews
Phone receiver volume and clarity was poor. Display screen died after 1 year.
Don't waste your money. The controls are not particularly intuitive to use. It's a great idea - a phone and clock radio all in one - a great space saver. Unfortunately, this is not the model to buy. I purchased this item about 18 months ago and I'm not particularly satisfied with it. The worst aspect of the unit, however, is the volume control. It is very imprecise and the volume can't be set low enough without cutting out completely. The display screen is at a difficult angle to see unless you raise your head.
Buttons too small, difficult to set, poor sound quality, not user friendly.
I bought this unit for the combination of features/price but I guess you get what you pay for. However I cannot see it from my beda foot awaylet alone across the room. When I plugged it back in, the light came on but there is no display. A black display with lighted letters/numerals would be better.
Also, by the size of the display you'd think it would be easy to read. All I have left is a phone. The programming is not intuitive at all. Then yesterday I unplugged the phone as instructed to replace the 9V backup battery.
Secondly, the snooze and alarm buttons are difficult to find if the unit is on the left side of the bed. The radio won't work and neither will the alarm. I have not liked this unit since I bought it 18 months ago.
The radio quality is the only redeeming feature I can see in this product. Based upon other customers reviews, I bought this product because I wanted a digital radio that would reliably wake me up in the morning. Too much technology and too little common sense. Contrary to the advice of AT&T tech support, the alarm MUST be activited each night even when the word ALARM remains in the display area. It is worthless as a clock - the face is angled so one must be above it and within 2 feet to read the pale display of the time. The volume control is poor, but that seems the least of this products problems. The illuminated display area is too bright making sleep all but impossible while the readout is practically invisible.
