AT&T SL82558 DECT 6.0 Expandable Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System - 1 Base, 4 chargers, 5 Handsets Reviews
No quality issues identified so far. Love the intercom function as well. Good answering machine as well. Has all of the features I want and stores numbers in a central directory. Great sound quality, even with my chattering kids in the background. Cool design and comfortable to use.
After a lot of reading and research I bought this AT&T model. What are my quibbles. However, my biggest complaint is that the volume is too low with many plug-in headsets it's fine in the handset itself, but you may have to try a few different models of headset before you find one you can hear with.
I have a computer wireless network which caused a lot of popping noises and static when I had a 5.8 GHz Uniden cordless phone system. I also like that you only have to enter each phone number into your directory once, and it is automatically added to every handset you own. More than once, I have come home and forgotten to check it, only to realize, hours later, that someone had left a message I wished I had gotten earlier.
It really IS clear. And guess what. The answering machine is easy to set up and tells you how many calls you have, but I wish it had an audible beep to tell you that you have messages waiting.
No more static. The people I call tell me that my voice is much clearer than before, too.
We installed this product easily and up for a month all was well. For the other parts, we liked this set. One of the handsets stoped working, because the battery was over. My rating is not so good , and depending upon the response we get from the at&t. I just emailed to at&t to ask how we can get another battery, because I can't find it in several websites.
Entering names and numbers into your directory is very intuitive, as is using the caller ID and changing the ringer tone and volume. We use the "phone company" voice mail, so I haven't evaluated the "usability" of the answering machine, but it "talks you through" the setup steps, setting the clock, etc., and seems very user friendly to operate. For example, SL82318 comes with three handsets, SL82418 with four, etc. I mention this because the various bundles appear to be different products, but they are all essentially the same, so keep this in mind when shopping for the best deal. Hope this review is helpful in making up your mind about selecting a new cordless phone. First and foremost, this line of AT&T DECT 6.0 cordless phones works extremely well, no background noise even with a home wireless system, great range, and very good sound quality both with the handset to your ear and on speaker phone. .
Be aware that the SL82(X)18 models are all the same, with the (X) indicating the number of handsets with that bundle. The handsets come with belt clips, which I use, not to clip them on my belt but because they raise the back of the handsets slightly if you lay them down, which I find improves the the speaker phone sound (the speaker is on the back of the handsets). It does all that one should expect from a cordless phone system. Another nice feature is that directory and CID entries are maintained in the base station, so if, for example, you enter a name/number on handset #1, it is immediately available on all other handsets on your system. The only exception seems to be that models SL82518 and SL82558 both have five handsets, but I haven't been able to find what the difference between them is, even on the AT&T site. Not a big deal, but being able to name each handset is a nice feature. Since my review applies to all bundles of this system, (if they let me) I will post this review under the several different model numbers.
You hardly need the manual. All in all, I am extremely pleased with these purchases, first a four handset bundle, then three additional handsets for a total of seven. The handset is quite lightweight and compact compared to our previous cordless phone, which took a little getting used to, but my wife and I adapted to it after one or two days. One minor drawback, compared to my prior cordless phone, which permitted each handset to be identified by location, e.g., "kitchen," "bedroom," etc., is that each AT&T handset has a number (and added handsets are given consecutive numbers as they are registered to the base up to the maximum of 12), so you have to remember the location numbers to call another handset on the intercom or to transfer incoming calls.
For the most part, other than these problems, we have liked this set. I just emailed the seller via Amazon to ask how we can get this handset fixed/replaced. My rating may change depending upon the response we get from the seller. One of the handsets quit working. I'll follow-up with how their customer service is. Other than the handset we have noticed, on occasion, a voice echo. We installed this product easily and up until last week all was well.
