AT&T 958 Corded Speakerphone with Caller ID (White) Reviews
They don't make em like they used to. I like all the features of this phone, especially the great display and the automatic saving of phone numbers from your received calls. We've had it 2 years, and now there is static on the line and the speakerphone fades in and out. It's very easy to just save them into your directory.If only the sound quality were better.
It is a good design decision (but I hope speaker phone could still work since my previous AT&T phone does that). Phone quality is very good as you can expect from a land phone. The very reason I bought this one is my previous AT&T speaker phone is very reliable - I bought that one second hand and used that for another 5 years. It does have some shortcomings though. One thing I found the handset feels too light and sometime I wonder if I place the handset correctly in the base. It has four illuminate indicators (new call, line status, mute, speaker). It is loud too so you complain about not hearing clearly. Every button you press will generate a beep which is also a good indicator of what you are doing.
The phone is retively easy to setup, even without manuals. Reliability. You just use a short phone line from this phone to your computer. It even append "1" ahead of area code if caller id phone number does not have that.
Have used this for roughly a year and no problem so far. Caller id function works reasonably well. I bought this phone a year ago to replace another aging AT&T speaker phone for home use (speaker phone is a must if you do a lot of phone conference, or talk to customer service which will put you on hold for half an hour). All plugs and holes can be easily matched. This is convenient if you use a computer modem on the same desktop. It needs a power adapter for the LCD display and speaker phone to work, but if electricity is out, the phone still works, just without these functions. Another thing is the LCD screen may be tilted more toward user - currently if your desk is high or you don't sit high, the screen may be too flat to view clearly.
Dial back is a breeze. It is a breeze calling back. Good design. They provide good feedback and I like them very much. There is a phone jack outlet which could be used for modem connection (you don't need to plug your modem in another phone jack). Overall I am satisfied with the phone's quality, function and relability.
We were satisfied with this phone for 14 months. It got gradually louder and then went silent. Now we have to find a replacement. Unfortunately, it was covered by a 1 year warranty. The loud beep when pressing keys is gone as well as the speakerphone and the caller ID. Then one day we came home and there was a static sound coming out of the speaker.
Get this you won't go wrong belive me.It's a 5 star phone. Date, Time you name it it's got it and under $25.00. Has redial, flash for two lines, hold, mute, volume control not just for the outstandingly clear speakerphone but also the pleasent ringer. Why people have rated this phone somewhat low is beyond me. I don't know about you but I cringe if the ringer sounds loud and shrill especially after a long night pleasing the masses. This phone is like from.heaven.
Great. Come on.would I lie to you or waste both our time. Took under 3 minutes to program and have completly set up. Usually I won't endorse anything without the big check in hand but I found myself impelled to tell you about this phone. I hear enough loud noises on stage.
However, there are several annoyances: the handset cord is a bit on the short side, the mute button does not go off automatically when you switch from speaker mode to handset mode, and the handset design would definitely not win any awards for comfort. The AT&T 958 is a very good phone. I have yet to see a caller id display / box that allows the user to set his own time and date. The base has four rubber pads that really grip, even on a desk that has just been dusted with Pledge. One of the great features of this phone is the line status indicator, which is very useful when this phone is plugged into a shared line. Even with these minor shortcomings, it still deserves four stars for its features, ease of setup and price. As for the reviewer who was complaining about setting the date and clock, it is part of caller id. The display has a contrast setting that is adjustable up to four levels.
