Amazon.com Product Review

The AT&T 5800 is an expansion handset for use with AT&T 5.8 GHz models 5830 and 5840. You can add up to five 5800 handsets to your base station (not included) for a total operating capability of six handsets.

The expansion handset's LCD provides caller ID/call waiting information (subscription required). Enhanced audio technology derives from advances in acoustic design that have improved the frequency response relative to conventional cordless phones. The Sound Select feature offers four different audio settings: bass, mid, treble, and natural.

The handset receiver lights up with incoming calls or can be set to vibrate. It stores 50 names and numbers and works with your caller ID service to remember the last 50 callers. A spare-battery charging system enables the telephone to work even in a power outage. Choose from eight ringer melodies. Other features include a 50-name-and-number caller ID history, a lighted display, and a visual message-waiting indicator.

What's in the Box
Handset, charger/base, AC power supply and cord, model 2401 rechargeable battery, instructions, warranty information

Note: This handset is not a stand-alone phone; it requires an AT&T 5830 or 5840 base unit, sold separately.

I've been a cordless phone fan since the days of sub-50 mhz frequencies, and I've been using 2.4 Ghz phones around the house now for more than 2 years. They were really only a bit clearer than the 900 mhz phones they replaced, and their range was about the same. However, this high frequency seems to find itself isolated enough from household interference (lights, cell phones, etc.) to achieve real quiet! I would say the quality of the connection is almost identical to that of a corded phone.The 5830 setup was simple: Plug it in to the phone line and power plug (the fairly small transformer is nice too), enter the base ID # from the sticker under the phone, and you're ready to use the phone.
The menus are just okay; they may be a bit less than perfect but they're usable without instructions. Anyway, from the menu, you may (but do not have to) select ring style, ring volume, vibrate or no, and enter the time digitally.
I've added 2 of these 5800 extensions and these are set...Read more

Bought this setup for a new house where I plan on installing a 802.11b network. I have not even thrown the boxes away and I am glad I did not. Was reading the manual, front to back, and was shocked to find the following information:Page 69 of 5840 manual, Titled: Technical SpecificationsRF Frequency Band (Handset to base) 2400MHz - 2483.5 MHzRF Frequency Band (Base to Handset) 5728 MHz- 5850 MHzWhat gives?? Why should you pay so much for a "5.8GHz" phone system when only half of it is 5.8 GHz. Check out the PANASONIC KX-TG5100M specs, that is truely 5.8Ghz, and is what I will be purchasing due to their honest marketing. Also do not like the fact that each phone has it's own Caller ID list. And why can't they sync the time up with the information on the CID. My free CID phone does this!Now for the positives:The phone itself sounds great even at a distance next to a computer. The display, and blue backlighting plus the general look and feel are well...Read more

I am a certified phone fetishist. After replacing cordless phone after cordless phone, I have now found one to keep for a while. The AT&T 5800 has the best speakerphone in the industry! You can actually use it in real situations! It has the now rare battery backup feature. I rotate batteries between the handset and the battery backup compartment when ever the handset battery runs out. By never putting the handset in the cradle, this "use it up every time" method makes the batteries last a year or more. Great memory and paging functions. You have to love the blue light! I have dropped it on hard wood floors many times, unlike any other phone or TV remote, the battery and battery cover don't go flying all over. Small but crucial details for the phone connesuer.
