AT&T 974 Small Business System Speakerphone with Intercom and Caller ID/Call Waiting (Titanium Blue) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been looking for a multi-line corded phone for months, and thought I'd found what I wanted in the AT&T 992, which recently became available.It had all the features I was looking for, but the phone did not work reliably.I bought and returned three of them, all with a different problem.

I then decided to try this phone, the 974, even though it's a 4-line phone and I only need two lines.It has worked perfectly, and the overall quality is much better than the 992.I especially notice a difference in the sound quality.Unlike the 992, the line indicator buttons on this phone only illuminate when a line is in use, so it's much easier to see the activity on the lines.A big advantage of this phone over many others is that all the lines work in the event of a power outage.

I haven't used the conference feature yet, but all the other features--speakerphone, headset, caller ID, message waiting indicator, etc.--work as they should.

Product Description:
The 974 from AT&T is a four-line corded telephone with powerful features and reliable operation. Caller ID/call waiting compatibility and multi-user expandability to 16 stations (compatible with AT&T models 945 and 984 along with other 974 models) provide you with plenty of options.
Four-line operation, intercom function, and conference calling help you easily manage call flow from several clients, colleagues, and customers at once. For the busy office environment, a built-in speakerphone and headset compatibility allow you to comfortably communicate hands-free.
The 200-name-and-number phone directory helps you keep track of your important contacts, and a 32-number speed dial lets you quickly dial the most frequently used numbers. Two hundred caller ID locations are also provided, and incoming call information and most setup features are easily viewable on the built-in LCD.
A new-message indicator provides a visual alert to any new voicemail messages, while the redial feature lets you easily dial any of the last six outgoing numbers. Two data ports are integrated into the 947, allowing you to hook up peripherals, such as a fax machine or modem, with ease. You can install the 947 on any desktop, or mount it on the wall to free up space. The unit also comes backed with a one-year limited warranty.

Speakerphone with Call Waitand Caller ID, 16 Station Expandable, Graphite (ATT974) Category: Corded Telephones Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i originally gave this phone 5 stars, but after the issue i had with the speakerphone i'd reduce it to 4 stars but amazon doesn't seem to let me.

Although some sellers say this phone is Black or Graphite, apparently it comes in only one color, Titanium Blue.Titanium Blue is kind've a dark grey color with a slight bluish cast.

You can find the two different listings by their ASIN number or by the tag i added -- ATT974.

B000F74RJ8Graphite (this one)
B0002YY1HWTitanium Blue

I would prefer that it came in black, but other folks like the blue/grey color.

I wound up returning the phone that i ordered because i didn't like the speakerphone on conference calls.i have AT&T 870 which is over 10 years old and works incredibly well, but it's not a multi-line phone.that speaker phone works very well in conference calls where there's a speaker phone on the other end as well, but this one doesn't.this one seems to have a kind of "half-duplex" mode of operation where i can either speak or hear what other folks are saying, but not both.when there's background noise at the other end, it doesn't work well.in contrast, my old 870 seems to have some kind of variable mute mode where it adjusts the volume at each end incrementally depending no who it thinks is talking more.

i've read the reviews of a lot of the multi-line speaker phones here, and nobody seems very happy with the speaker phones except for the Polycom phones, and even with it there are a number of complaints.i think i'll try one of those next.

other than the speaker phone issue and my personal dislike for the color, it's a very nice phone.if the other feature are more important i'd suggest you buy it.

AT&T 964 Corded Expandable 4-Line Intercom Speakerphone with Digital Answering System (Graphite) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought 3 of these phones and tried out 3 more... they came from 3 separate locations. All 6 had the same problems!!
Minor problem: Intercom never worked.
Minor problem: Set-up is difficult to scroll through. You have to go through many options to find the one you want, because of poor organization & layout.
MAJOR problem: This is why we returned the phones. When you receive an incoming call on any line, if either Auto Attend or DTAD picks up to either transfer call or take a message, whatever happens from hereon out, when the caller hangs up, the 964 phone will continue to HOLD THE LINE for approx. 3 minutes while the phone company comes on with their automated message of "If you'd like to make a call please hang up and dial again." followed by a loud off-the-hook beep-beep-beeping. Finally, the line will be released. This also happens if you're talking on one line and someone calls trying to leave a message on another line. You can hear the other phone being "off the hook" so to speak and it is irritating beyond description. This has been thoroughly researched and tested on our end and it ahs nothing to do with our line, the region we're in, or other phones on the system. We eliminated everything and the problem persisted! We went through dozens of calls to Lucient to get help and Customer Service was unknowledgable and unwilling to give more than surface assistance. Research Team was very thorough and tried a lot, but they were unsuccessful at solving the problem. To complicate the problem a little further, after a couple of weeks with that problem, the line-holding suddenly became sporadic. That couldn't be eliminated to why it did/didn't work... The best answer we got was that, "These are very new phones and we don't have everything smoothed out yet."
My advise from much painful experience is to NOT BUY these phones, unless you relish the development of your patience through coping with numerous problems on your own.
