AT&T CL82257 DECT 6.0 2-Handset Cordless Phone for Home with Answering Machine, Call Blocking, Caller ID Announcer, Intercom and Long Range, Rose Gold

I was very hesitant to buy these for several reasons: 1. I was trying to stick to under $90, and 2. I had purchased At&T phones (assuming they would be the best) many years ago and was rather disappointed. Features I love! 1. LOCATOR: And as a bonus when you use locator, you can turn off the phones you do find. With my last set it didn’t have this option so I would put it out side, not good if I already left one outside and of course the main base always rang so if the other phone was anywhere near it, like stuffed in the sofa, we couldn’t hear it. 2. Call BLOCK! Main reason I purchased this unit. While a little confusing to set up, I love that you can add a call to the block directory while on the call. 3. Intercom: We use this often to page the kid or while hubby is in the basement and I need to figure out which electrical breaker I should shut off. 4. Lighted key pad: My house is a bit dark so this is a bonus. 5. Choose ring tone: Love this, they have several different sounds you can choose from. I found one that sounds very much like a video game we played in the 80’s. Just makes life more fun. 6. Large viewing screen: found the screen much larger and easier to read than most. 7. Clarity: There is no more break up on the line when I go to rooms further from the base, a major bonus! I have only had them a short time, but everything is super to access on the key pad compared to many other phones. There is even a ‘talk’ button on the side that I think goes to intercom haven’t gotten that far in the manual yet. Only two cons: phone by itself doesn’t stand up well on a table or counter, bit off balance. The charging bases are super light and tend to fall off table if not placed correctly. I have one sitting on the windowsill and had to tape it down because of kitty’s tail even swipes it the unit falls. But to me these issues are totally irrelevant for what an awesome phone system this is! PS I never use the answering machines that come with these.

This phone system is beautiful. It works great. Each handset comes with a rechargeable battery and a charging cradle that plugs into an outlet. You only need one phone jack for the base phone, which is much easier than needing a jack for each handset too. I can't say enough about how awesome the Call Block feature is. Even if you miss pressing the button while the call is coming in, you can still block the numbers from the phone menu. I have not changed the equaliser sound profile, because it sounds great right out of the box for me. I turned the volume all the way up, which is what I do with every phone, and the other caller is loud and clear. My voice must sound okay to callers, because my mother has stopped saying, "Hello? Lisa? I can't hear you. Are you there?", which is why I bought a new phone in the first place. Lol. My mother bought the same system in black, because now that she is working from home due to covid, her meetings are over the phone. Her voice sounds great when we talk. The batteries must be long lasting, because her meetings can last for hours, and she hasn't complained about running out of battery power. That is why she bought a new phone - her old system couldn't last long enough, even with new batteries put in, and switching out handsets during the meetings. The displays are big and bright. Hanging the base does not seem like an attractive option. It would hang the same way it sits on the counter, so it would be sticking out from the wall instead of flush against it. That is absolutely not a deal breaker. You are never going to find a phone system that has 100% of the features you want. The primary concern should always be how well it works.

I bought this set (model #CL82257) to replace my old phones, AT&T model #82229, which I'd had for my VOIP phone system about a decade. The similarities between the two are striking, and that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned. I loved my old home phones. What led me to replace them was 2 things: 1, the replacement batteries in the handsets just weren't holding a charge anymore; and 2, the handsets stopped communicating with the bases. I did have a little bit of trouble setting these new phones up - but Mother Nature fixed everything! I received the phones over the weekend. I hooked them up, let the handsets charge overnight (they need at least 11 hours), then late Sunday morning, when I tried to finish setting them up, the bases were working but not the handsets. I tried resetting the modem, but that didn't help. Then the power went out for 47 hours because of the terrible weather, and when it came back on, everything was working perfectly. I have no idea why it wasn't working Sunday morning, but it's working now, so that makes me happy. My only problem is, if I have the same problem again, I don't really know how to fix it. But for now, it's working and that's exactly what I needed. One of the biggest reasons I wanted to stick with something like my previous phones is because of all of the features they have, at a great price. They have easily readable backlit screens; they announce the incoming Caller ID (and you can choose to only have the base, or the handsets, or all of them, do the announcements); you can program up to 100 phone numbers to block very easily so Spam & harassing callers can't get through to you anymore, and you can link your mobile phone via Bluetooth so it rings to your VOIP phones instead. You can save lots of numbers in your Directory, plus Speed Dial numbers. It can also record your calls if necessary, but make sure you know the law where you live! In my state, Pennsylvania, both parties must consent to any recording, and many states require that, also, so use that feature with the correct permission (you can easily search, "is my state a two-party phone recording consent state?" on your favorite search engine, just remember to tell it what state you're in & where you're calling if it's different)! I'm glad I found a great replacement phone for my VOIP line that has features I've come to rely on from my old phone plus some new ones that I think I'll find invaluable, for a very affordable price, in a nice style. It's a good buy over all.

My decision to purchase this phone was off the Q&A and it was confirmed it was a VTECH manufacture. I've been using the more creative option/colors provided by VTECH on their phones for a couple of decades. I did a VTECH search on amazon only to find less attractive options than this AT&T model! The phone set becomes a part of your decor and should be pleasant to view as well as functional, IMO. The phone has all sorts of built-in features like robo call blocking - and it works. I see the call list and every day it shows numbers that tried to reach me and the phone didn't ring. Of course, you program your own settings, but it's basic. In fact, I never had to read the instructions. I have the rose gold & ivory version and it's beautiful. For those wanting more masculine or deeper tone obviously there is the wood grain and black version. I had no trouble with the set-up and I have the main set in one room and the other phone at the other end of the house, so I'm much less likely to miss calls. The volume and the speaker settings are also great. I wish they had a greater number of ring options, as I didn't care for any of the alternatives so I settled for the default standard ring.

My workplace needed a new phone system so I got these pink phones. They are the bomb. Everyone loves them. They are so fun and strangely pretty for a phone. They work great too--a real step up from the other system. So happy with this purchase. The price on these was great too. They are solidly constructed phones which are sure to last a long time even at our crazy workplace.

This is a great phone for those who need a landline and ability to move about their home. I originally got this set for my senior mother who needed a simple but effective phone and was not interested in a cell phone

This purchase was a great find for our household, we absolutely love the paging system between the phones. The callblock is awesome, even though I forget to use it sometimes. Only one major issue for us is the the ringer issue: if your watching tv, you can see the call come in before the phone even rings. Which is an issue if your not watching tv, you do not hear it rings until it's too late to reach the phone. I have tried contacting the maker of this product through this platform and the maker of this product directly. But I have not received any response at all, which is upsetting. There is a warranty on this product, but how am I supposed to use it if I can't get a response from anyone. I have followed all the steps in the pamphlet. All the resetting's, all the unhooking, checking the batteries and adapters. I have also had the phone company come and check the lines and the cable company. Not sure what else can be done, now I'm stuck

Purchased the 5-handset version in mid April 2021. We quickly set the Call Block function to require an unknown caller to press the "#" key to continue. Since then our mealtime and evenings have been quiet and peaceful. Some live nuisance callers follow the instructions and get through but they are easily disposed of by adding them immediately to the Block List via the "Call Block" button. All this is worth the price of admission. The handsets themselves are attractive in the rose color. We've found the sound quality on the handsets to be very good. The number of active messages left by callers is indicated on the base station screen and listening them is intuitive. Adding entries to the directory is simple. But we miss having a larger directory for our contact list (it's limited to just 50, far too few for most people), so that's a minus. Overall, though, our experience with this phone set is excellent and we're sorry we didn't get it sooner.

These phones are aesthetically pleasing, very easy to use, very easy to program and I am loving the call screening to avoid unwanted Robo calls! I also love the announcing feature, the size of the buttons and the screen!! So far- FAR from disappointed! I dreaded the thought of replacing phones and having to reprogram my directory etc. but it was really easy and took no time at all! The speaker phone is loud enough and certainly a vast improvement from my previous phone set! Also- I JUST discovered the intercom feature—- AMAZING- now I can call upstairs for refills! Haha I should’ve bought this year’s ago! Enjoy!!!

Muy fáciles de instalar, muy bonitos y muy útiles. Se escuchan muy bien en altavoz

Suitable adapter supply required for 220V. Seller didn't provide the same.

Los teléfonos tienen un buen tamaño y con números grandes, el color rosa hace que se vean súper bonitos, tiene muchas funciones como identificador de llamadas con voz y bloqueo de números que le dan un plus, una excelente compra, los recomiendo mucho

Es un modelo vanguardista , dentro de las características que más destacan son las funciones para registrar tus contactos por sus nombres y también para registrar los números no deseados. Me agrada mucho que tiene grabadora para grabar un saludo de buzón y sobre todo el tono del timbre agradable al oído y que rsnun par de teléfonos de los cuales uno es inalámbrico.
