AT&T E5862 5.8GHz Expandable Cordless Telephone and Answering System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm in the process of buying another one for my mom. Favorite feature: along with caller ID, it voices the phone number while it's ringing. That means, that when it rings, I can hear who's calling, enabling me to run to the phone or forget it!!

GE 2 in 1 - Internet & Standard Phone Accessory Handset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this product to make SKYPE phone calls. It sure does its job well with SKYPE. However, using the phone for just a regular landline phone call has been unsuccessful. It turns out that the quality of the sound is garbled and unclear even when the volume is turned all the way up. I believe it is a defect and GE should address this problem. If you are using this product for SKYPE primarily, it is a good buy. Definitely not for the regular landline use.

VTech i5801 5.8GHz Accessory Handset for vt5831 and i5881 Expandable Phones Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pretty much everything about this phone has been good. Good range, exceptional sound clarity, large screen view, battery longivity, no interference with our computer wireless network, it's design and size, and the easy intercom usage make it an good wireless phone. The speakerphone works very well too. Even assigning the different built-in ringtones to friends and relatives phone numbers (using Caller ID) isn't too difficult and makes it even more functional. It's even got a battery back-up feature in the base station which makes it reliable in power failures - apparently, a general area power failure can render a multi-phone system useless if they don't have battery back-up. We've had 4 of these handsets with the 5831 base station for some 2 years now. Because of this good experience, I would consider any of the 5800 series VTech phone systems if I had to buy another multiple handset phone system.

AT&T EP5632 5.8 GHz Digital BlueTooth Enabled Cordless Phone with Answering System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Considering my prior experience with an AT&T cordless phone (E5965C), and some of the negative reviews posted here, it was with reluctance that I purchased this unit along with an expansion handset (EP562). This is the only cordless phone I found that has all the features I'm looking for (bluetooth capability, being able to listen to messages from both the handsets and the base unit, a spare battery stored in the base unit allowing the phone to be used during power outages, blinking light on each handset for new messages).
I've had the phone for about a week now and have had no issues at all. The phones were a breeze to set up and configure. The user interface is easy to understand and navigate. Voice quality is very good. The Bluetooth connection works very well for me when I connect it to my cell phone. I've yet to experience a disconnected call.
Battery life is much improved over my other AT&T phone. The handsets can go more than 1 day without being charged.
My only complaints are a few relatively minor issues. The system has a telephone directory where you can store names and telephone numbers. Directory entries are stored separately on each handset and the base unit. There is no way to transfer directory entries from one handset to the other or to the base unit. With a set-up like mine if I want to have the same directory on the two handsets and the base unit they must all be entered manually. Rather tedious. I like the idea of having separate directories but it would be nice to have the ability to transfer individual entries, or the entire directory, between handsets and the base unit.
The same goes for the caller ID log. The system stores the 100 most recent incoming calls. These calls must be cleared off of each handset and the base unit individually. It would be nice to have a global setting that would clear out the Caller ID Log on the entire system. Again, minor issues.. :)
07/22/2008: I've had this phone for about 7 months now. It still works very well. I've recently started using it along with a bluetooth headset. No problems at all with disconnects or voice quality. Great product AT&T! Keep making phones like this one.

The AT&T EP5632 5.8 GHz Digital Bluetooth Enabled Cordless Phone with Answering System will work perfectly in your small office or home office, with a 5.8 GHz frequency hopping technology that allows extended range and clarity. Thanks to Bluetooth, you can use the handset to receive calls from up to two connected cell phones, as well as the calls from a land line, even letting you orchestrate a conference call between them. An icon-driven menu system makes it easy to navigate the large color display. The display is customizable, thanks to 26 wallpapers and animations.
A built-in digital answering machine offers 15 minutes of recording time with the ability to leave memos, and you can retrieve your messages from handsets without going over to the base. There is a speakerphone built into both the handset and the base for maximum flexibility. Built-in memory allows you to store 100 contact entries. The phone supports caller ID, call waiting, and caller ID on call waiting. The phone features selectable ringtones, a lighted keypad, and a spare battery charger. The EP5632 includes one handset but can be expanded to up to 12 handsets. The AT&T EP5632 5.8 GHz Digital Bluetooth Enabled Cordless Phone with Answering System is backed by a 1-year warranty.
What's in the Box Base, belt clip, cordless handset, Ni-MH battery, power adapter, telephone line cord, user's manuals, and wall mounting adapter.

AT&T EP562 5.8GHz DSS Handset for Expandable System EP5632 with Caller ID (Black/Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First- this is the expansion hand set- you need the other part for this to work.
If you have ONE spot in your house you can only use your cell phone, this is for you.
It's a great device. Your cell phone rings.... you have the home phone in your hand, and a little light flashes that says "cellular". You push the button and you are now connected to your cell phone VIA your home phone handset.
Not hard to set up, but you need bluetooth.
One complaint, the caller id isn't ever right when someone calls my cell. I just ignore it.
Now I can use my cell phone ALL over my house and get crystal clear reception. Just put the phone where you get reception- turn on the bluetooth, Viola!
Your cell must be within 3 feet of the base station for it to work.
I love it. It's a great phone for people who can't talk on their cell phones at home because of poor reception!

i5808 Cordless Phone Handset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have the base unit and 4 handsets. You may expect 2 years out of the batteries before " Handset Can't find base" we troubleshot this issue and found it to be battery related. The Batteries are $5-$10. Other than that, It has a ton of features I will never use, clear and loud voice calling and decent paging and answer machine.

Panasonic Expandable Digital Cordless Dect 6.0 Phone System (KXTG8232B) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overall, this phone set is terrific. It features a bright color screen and a sleek glossy black look. (Once you go with a color screen, it's hard to go back) The base station is surprisingly compact. Call clarity is excellent. Speakerphone is plenty loud. You can even check your answering machine through the handset! Panasonic's usual mess of small buttons has been streamlined somewhat to reduce confusion.
A slight gripe is that while Panasonic gives you a color screen, it doesn't really use it to its full potential. You have a choice of *three*, count 'em, three wallpapers. And that's it! All but one are pretty tacky.
A bigger gripe revolves around the answering machine. First of all, Panasonic removed the talking Caller ID that was standard on almost all their previous models. Secondly, there is no on-phone notification that someone left a message on your machine. The *only* indication is a hard-to-see blinking red light on the base station. There is no audio notification that there are new message either (many other phones beep when there's a new message). So unless you are frequently near the base station (which I'm not), you may have messages and not know it.
So in a nutshell:
PROS
Great sound
No WiFi/Bluetooth Interference with DECT6
Compact, sleek styling
Backlit keypad
Good speakerphone
Answering machine operation from handset.
CONS
No audible or visual new message alert on handset
Limited customizability (few wallpapers/ringtones)
No talking caller ID.

The Panasonic KX-TG8232B DECT 6.0 Expandable Digital Cordless Phone System with Two Handsets uses the latest DECT 6.0 (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology for outstanding range and clarity. It operates on the 1.9 GHz frequency for less interference from household items such as wireless networks, keyboards, and microwaves, and is less susceptible to eavesdropping. Two handsets are included and up to four additional handsets can be used with the base unit without any need for wires or setup.
An all-digital answering system is built into the base and features flash memory that holds 16 minutes of recording time. The phonebook can hold 50 entries and the Caller ID can be linked to the phonebook so that a certain color gets flashed depending on who is calling. Call-waiting Caller ID shows you the name and number of an incoming call even while you are already on a call. Digital duplex speakerphones are built into the back of both handsets for clear hands-free conversations.

VTech i5867 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System and Color LCD Handset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I spent about 3 weeks scouring the internet for info on cordless phones and I settled on this VTech model, along with 2 additional handsets. The phone system has worked quite well since we got it and I think I made the right decision for us. I like the color LCD screen but I do agree with one of the other reviews stating that the digital time bar which floats on the handset screen when it is idle is practically invisible and can't be read unless you are right up to the phone. Once, we lost power in our home and the handsets could not find the base station. I removed the spare NiCad batteries from the base and then removed DC power and then put it all back together and it worked again. Amazing to me that the most recent models from the top phone makers do not surpass many of their older models; meaning, these phone models do not necessarily get better as the model numbers advance and get higher. This model i5867 was rated higher than many of VTech's newer models. Sound quality is good, not perfect, but then none of them are perfect. I'm very glad we got a 5.8 Ghz model because now I am looking to get an Apple Powerbook and Airport Extreme Base Station and I understand that these wireless devices can conflict with the 2.x Ghz phones. Only missing features for me are the ability to check the answering machine from the handset and a global address book for all handsets which is fed from the base unit. Good luck!

The i5866 from VTech is a 5.8 GHz cordless phone system with a number of handy extras, including an all-digital answering system, and multi-user expandability to eight handsets (one color-model included). The i5866 utilizes the 5.8 GHz frequency and digital spread spectrum technology to provide clear, accurate reception with less interference than traditional 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz phones.

Additional features include flash, redial (last 10 numbers), and hold. A speakerphone on the handset combines with headset compatibility to provide hands-free communication options. The NiMH battery provides up to eight hours of talk time or up to five days on standby, while a low-battery indicator lets you know when to return a handset to its charging cradle.

Panasonic KX-TG8231B DECT 6.0 Cordlesss phone System with an All Digital Answering System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros:
- Great range. Much better than the 5.8Ghz uniden it replaced.
- Very good clarity of voices during a call. No interference at all.
- Great battery life. First charge lasted 5 days of use before returning it to charge in base (home use, not office).
- Flexibility of batteries. It uses two standard AAA size Ni-Mh rechargeable batteries, which you can replace later for another brand or ones with even more capacity. Or you can have another set ready for use.
- You can group people in the directory and set an specific ring tone and display color for each group.
- Caller ID links the number calling to your phonebook names and displays both number and name calling. The uniden was suppossed to do this but never did.
- Good looking piano finish.
- Compact handset and base.
- Great looking color screen.
Cons:
- Very low customization. You can only select between 3 wallpapers. You can't add new ones. Few color options for setting the menu's colors. Those were a strong feature of the uniden.
- Only 50 number phonebook memory.
- Could add another volume bar. Volume is not low, but could have another bar for people that likes very high volume calls like me. Volume on speaker mode is great.
- ID caller takes like two rings before it displays the name calling.
- Only 18 min record time for answering system.
This is a great phone overall. It exceeds all the basic functions you expect for the dect frequency and panasonic (range, clarity, battery life). But I would rate it 5 stars if you can really customize it by adding your own wallpapers and ring tones. Also it would not hurt to have more memory for the answering machine and the phonebook.

Panasonic KX-TGA571S 5.8 GHz FHSS GigaRange Expandable Digital Cordless Handset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great home phone system. It has all the bells and whistles. You can input your own color wallpaper display, name each phone for its location, no obtrusive antenna, great quality, I could go on and on. The voice caller ID is sometimes a little strange, but having owned the previous version of it I'm used to it. You will recognize what it is telling you in very short time. I bought this system (I'm using six phones and a camera)to replace a Meridian (Nortel) system that cost four times the price. The camera monitors the front door from a window in the dining room. I can see who is at the door from anywhere in the house in full color. This is the best one line system available.

Designed to be used with KX-TG5700 series telephone systems, the Panasonic KX-TGA571S digital cordless handset uses 5.8 GHz frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology for added clarity and a stronger connection. Because it uses the 5.8 GHz frequency, the handset operates on a different wavelength with much less traffic than the 2.4 GHz technology. The result is greater security, incredible clarity, and longer range. Have a wireless computer network, or thinking about getting one? The phone system's 5.8 GHz technology will not interfere with wireless networks such as 802.11b or 802.11g WiFi.
Add Images to Your CallsThe cordless handset is designed around a 1.5-inch backlit LCD screen, providing space for images that you can upload to the phone via its USB port. This set includes a single handset, but the system is expandable to a total of eight handsets.
Put the Phone Down While You TalkWhen you've been on hold for 10 minutes, do you really need to hold the phone? Not with the handset speakerphone. Just lis10 along, and press a button or pick up when it's convenient. You'll think up other great uses, like letting Grandma and Grandpa lis10 to their new grandchild at the same time, painting your nails as you talk to your best friend, or just being able to set the phone down while you talk.
