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

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.

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

Smart Call Blocking has been great! Here is the thing I wondered about but now I know the answer - if you have other phones besides the AT&T phones they do ring once because the AT&T first ring is to start the screening process I set up to ask them to state the name and press #. That doesn't bother me because the other phones are either set to ringer off or very low ringer except for the basement phone which I don't hear unless I am in the basement. Most of the calls are for senior medicare plans and I don't understand why since Medicare plans are only selected once a year. Call quality is good though I have noticed some small issues that were not there with the VTech phones (same manufacturer by the way). Blocked calls do show up on the recent calls list which is nice so I can review to make sure they aren't someone I want to hear from that I hadn't added to the allow list. The only thing is that it shows the name and not the number, only that it was blocked call - maybe there is a way to add the number information - but I do have other caller id info on other phones to check and this has not been a problem. Setting up the phone was fairly easy to do. I have not looked at the online manual yet only the manual that came with the phone - that manual is sufficient to get things up and running. Before I purchased I read reviews and one mentioned how bright the charge lights are - I think they are a bit too bright also. A setting for brightness for these lights would be a nice to have feature in the future such as night mode. The answering machine works fine though I need to do some more reading on how to delete a message after playing without deleting all messages. Not really a problem as I don't save messages anyway at this time but I miss the options using my phone company voicemail which I may go back to using upon further investigation. I used a cell phone that I haven't put in the allow list and will check to see how the blocking works (If you don't use the screening process with name and # the phone hangs up - say your name and press # and the phone rings and gives the option to answer or send to answering machine or if you don't go through those options the call goes to the answering machine). As others have stated these phones are really worth not receiving robocalls and scam calls and unwanted telemarketing calls all day long.

We just remodeled our bedroom, and it’s a very feminine themed room. The artwork is Degas in the bathroom, pastel oil paintings in the bedroom, etc. We just put up our new French Baroque four poster bed. These phones definitely fit the theme of our master bedroom! The color is lovely, and I LOVE the ring tones. There are ten different choices, and we chose the fast, two-ring tone that’s heard in England, Paris, etc. It’s very easy to block a caller. If you’re on the phone with an unwanted caller, simply push the BLOCK button. If the caller has ended the call; again, just push the BLOCK button. It’s a two phone set, and an answering machine is included. We use the one included with our landline system. Aestheticly and function-wise, they’re great phones! They come with several extension choices.

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.

Voices aren’t clear when talking to people and cuts out every other word or so

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.

Fue una buena compra, me tardé todo un día en entenderle, mi Papá (los compré por él) no creo que le entienda ni a la mitad de sus funciones. Es una muy buena alternativa que compite con mi celular cuando estoy en casa, a tal grado que compré otro juego para mi oficina. Como el instructivo no viene en español batallé todo ese día para configurarlo y que saliera la primer llamada, pues no me daba línea, creo que debería subir un video explicando todo para su instalación y funcionamiento, pero no alcanza el espacio que dan aquí para los videos.

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!!!

I’m on a mission to turn everything in my apartment pink, and my ancient old landline needed replacing so this was exactly what I was looking for. It’s very similar to my old v-tech cordless phone - the voice that announces calls, the ringer sounds, and the display screen are all virtually identical. But the handsets have a higher quality feel, and the robo-call blocking feature is outstanding. I’ve tested it with my family and their calls come through, but I haven’t gotten a robo-call since I got this phone. One small irritant is that there is a very bright orange light on the front of each handset. I bought a set of white LED-blocking stickers to cover it up and that’s working for me. It’s so cute and it works great!

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
