It also offers an integrated answering system with three individual voicemail boxes, speakerphone capability from both base and handset unit, dual keypads, and three-way conferencing. Plus, the system is expandable to five handsets (AT&T model 5800, one handset included), so it offers plenty of room to grow.

The AT&T 5870 has audible caller ID and call waiting to announce incoming calls, as well as a 50 name-and-number programmable directory. The handset features a three-line backlit LCD, any-key answer, adjustable volume control, programmable ring tones, even a vibrating ringer setting.

Good, but not quite perfect, December 14, 2003

This review is from: AT&T 5870 5.8 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Answering System and Talking Caller ID (Office Product)

After a friend of mine purchased the 5830 several months ago, I've been debating between the 5830 and 5840. After finding that the 5870 was released, I thought I had found my perfect phone.

Positives are pretty much what everyone as said:
- Solid feel
- Nifty blue lighting
- The clock in the display
- Sound quality is excellent while listening to the other end
- Speakerphone on the handset works very well. Used it on a few calls so far without any complaints. Makes those long conference calls less painful.
- Even though the 5870 is 5.8GHz / 2.4GHz, it doesn't appear to be interfering with the wireless network (802.11b). My old Panasonic Gigarange Extreme is 2.4GHz/900MHz, and it will occasionally knock me offline.
- Registering a second handset was very easy; just punch in the code from the bottom of the base unit on the new handset.
- Battery life appears good. Was on a 3.5-4 hour conference call and the handset still showed at least a...Read more

A Standout in the field, November 16, 2003

Cruz - See all my reviews

This review is from: AT&T 5870 5.8 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Answering System and Talking Caller ID (Office Product)

I am very pleased with the ease of use and functions of the 5870 phone. I was trying to decide if I wanted to get an AT&T 5840 or 5830 when I found out this phone was soon to be released and it would integrate the best of the 5830 and 5840 into one phone. I'm glad I waited.
I have tested all of the best features. Here's a short rundown:

1. Phoning from the base: Nice to have but I would rarely use this feature. It is accomplished by using the speakerphone on the base. Person on the other line said my voice sounded tinny.
2. Speakerphone on handset: A very useful feature and simple to use. Actually sounds better on both sides of the conversation than using the speakerphone from the base.
3. Talking Caller ID: My favorite feature on this phone. After programming the phone with known phone numbers you can record their name (or any 3 second message) and it will be spoken by the phone when that number calls you. Only problem is that local phone numbers need to be...Read more

Great phone!, February 8, 2004

cmp (Merrimack, NH USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: AT&T 5870 5.8 GHz DSS Cordless Phone with Answering System and Talking Caller ID (Office Product)

My husband bought me this phone for Christmas to replace a V-tech model that had just wasn't working quite right for us.

I love this phone - the only reason that I'm not giving it 5 stars is because there is one feature that I'd really like that seems to be missing, which is that the memory and caller-ID still don't communicate quite as much as I'd like.

The talking caller-ID function is great - no running around the house trying to find the phone just to figure out if I even want to answer. You can program in the names for your most frequent callers (which are recognized via caller-ID, even if they're not programmed the exact same way as your memory), and it can also be set up to announce full numbers of those who aren't in your memory, so you might still recognize the number without having to get to the actual phone.

The 5.8 GHz works great in our house. The 2.4 that we replaced had major interference with the microwave, but this one is terrific - no static at all,...Read more
