We have three of these phones (a main base plus two additional bases) – well, we SORT OF have three – more on this later. The sound quality is good, and the features (directory, review of recent calls, etc) are easy to use.
The phone does have some serious design flaws, however. For one, volume control for the ringer is right on the side where you hold the phone during normal use, and it’s very easy to press the flat toggle-style volume control.
As a result, we routinely turn the ring volume off without even realizing it. No big deal, if you always return the phone to its base immediately. BIG deal if you are a wanderer while you talk, or have children who put the phone down in some messy corner. This is why we TECHNICALLY have three phones, but really only have two. We can’t find one, and since the volume was (once again) turned all the way off by accident, we can’t make it ring to help in our search. It also appears that sometimes the ring volume is muted when you signal the phone remotely from the base and then hit the “stop talk” button to get it to stop ringing. Again – bad design that leads to frustration when your phone ceases to ring.
Overall, it’s a decent system, if pricey, and you will have to decide if the ring volume issue would be a problem in your house.
The AT&T SL80108 DECT 6.0 Digital Cordless Expansion makes adding on to your existing AT&T cordless system very simple. We chose this system because it rated well and it was expandable. We used two phones from an older system in conjunction with the AT&T phones, but when the caller ID on one of them went out we ordered two of these expansion phones. They were very simple to interface with the phones we already had.
The product is great. Has the range I need which many other products fell short.
If you have time to wait this was the best price by a couple of dollars. It took almost a week before it was shipped. Never bought anything on line that took so long to ship.
We have this AT&T phone and needed an exstension set. It arrived super fast and was easy to connect and install. I really like the slim line and easy-to-read display. This is a really nice and efficient phone system.
We got the phone system after we had a Phillips set that broke after 3 months. We only got it with one extra handset, and decided to add another handset to our bedroom after and old phone in our bedroom broke. It was so easy to install this handset to the main base. It’s the best phones we have had. If you get to close to the wireless router at times you pick up a little interferance, but overall it’s a great dependable phone system.
