AT&T 1726 Digital Answering System with 3 Mailboxes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This machine is yet another illustration of how quickly technology innovation moves forward (the cynical person would wonder if the vendors were intentionally keeping these machines less capable to sell their ever-green answering services).
This machine is very small and packed with features. The one review here at Amazon.com said that you couldn't see the caller's ID. This is true but the ATT1726 will speak the number for you before you have to answer the phone. Way cool.
Other outstanding features: 1. A priority code lets your important callers signal that they're on the line via a special ring; 2. Set your toll saver not only to 2/4 but also to 4/6 or up to 7 rings; 3. With caller ID, the machine will store the incoming number with the message and even (get this, telemarketing haters!) have an automatic message for blocked ID calls saying they can not be accepted and then just hang up; 4. Have callers select a mailbox for their message using a key press--good for roommates; 5. great remote access controls, multiple outgoing messages, announcement only, memory protection for power failures, listen to messages at fast or slow speeds, customizable options like call screening (on/off) and message alerts (beep sound/nothing)...I could go on but you get the point. I had ATT's last machine (the 1725) for years and this is a stellar upgrade. The only drawback I can think of is that the engineers overloaded the buttons with different functions (prob. to save space) making the interface a bit dodgy--setup can be tricky. Great instructions, though.
This thing is awesome. And J&R sell it for [money]!! The price at Amazon.com [money] can't be beat. Although I just got the machine and don't know yet about service issues and the like, my recommendation is to get rid of those silly answering services and save some bucks.

Product Description:
Enjoy all the convenience of dial-in remote access and none of the hassles of hissy, imprecise analog answering machines thanks to AT&T's compact and affordable 1726 digital answering system. It offers three separate voice mailboxes and is compatible with paid services like caller ID (announce, not display) and call screening/intercept.
An extended record time of 40 minutes means you won't have to erase your messages just to have free storage space for new messages, and the device even lets you move messages between mailboxes for convenient file sharing with other household members. A two-digit message counter informs you of how many messages are currently in each mailbox.

American Telecom Expandable Cordless Phone With Base Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you get it for nothing, as I did, or pay a couple of bucks for it, the 150 minutes of free long distance might make it worth getting, but the phone itself is not so hot:

1) When I first tried it there was a lot of hiss on the line. The noise mostly disappears once a connnection is made.

2) The ring tone can be changed, but the volume can't be adjusted. The ringer can, however, be turned off.

3) Every time you push a button it makes a loud beep. This cannot be turned off or adjusted.

4) The phone and base are cheesy, light-weight plastic--it's not going to last long.

5) The battery compartment is poorly designed. There's nowhere for the battery wire to go--you have to really jam it in to get the compartment cover to slide into place.

6) No ringer in the base.

7) The volume for the receiving party is super loud and cannot be adjusted, but this can be an advantage when communicating with the hard of hearing (I mean the aurally handicapped, like my Pop).

With just one touch of the Green LDS Button, get instant access to try the optional low rate PayN'Talk prepaid long distance service with 150 bonus minutes included. There is nothing to buy and no obligation. The PayN'Talk is completely optional. If you never use it, this is still a great 2.4 GHz cordless phone. It is the same as the regular one.

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.
