AT&T TL74208 - MAIN BASE SYSTEM W/ CORDED HANDSET - EXPANDABLE SYSTEM

I've owned this phone since May of 2008. It's really a superb model. The cordless twins really make it much easier to get to and handle calls. The caller ID and number function enables me to know what calls to accept and which ones to ignore. The answering system works really nicely and can store a lot of message and many messages. You can load up a directory of up to 50 contacts and the phone stores as many as the last 50 numbers to have called so that you can dial back easily if necessary.

Be very careful with this phone.

While it is advertised as being expandable, they do not make or sell the expansion handsets. They do not make or sell the base handset, either, so if it breaks or something, you cannot replace it. You must either live without it, or buy a whole new system.

Its a pretty good phone assuming you like it exactly like it is.

Its expandable ONLY IN THEORY. You can't actually buy the extra handsets.

Here is a copy of an email message I received when I asked about expanding my system:
