AT&T TL92270 DECT 6.0 Dual Handset Bluetooth CID Answering System With DECT 6.0 Expansion Handset 4 Pack Bundle

I was excited at the bluetooth functionality. I can now come home, put my blackberry on the charger and answer my cell from any handset in the house, very cool! Sound quality is excellent, and the speakerphone works very well. Range is very good. The large number buttons are nice and useable. Another exciting feature is that the phone imports the address books from out of your cell phones. I had 185 in my Blackberry and it imported them very quickly. These phone books are instantly available to all your handsets. You also have a generous 200 address memory for the Home address book. Answering machine functionality is very good. You can listen to and program your VM via any of the handsets. You can have up to 11 handsets.

For the not so great stuff, for some reason this phone still requires a land-line. I don't understand why they did this, you would think that this would be the product that would let you be cell-only and not pay for a land-line. Makes no sense...Read more

I loved the phone and all its features until just a month after I bought it , I could not use the handset to answer a call when it came in because it was like it was 'dead'. The handset would quite often say: "Out of range or No power at base". These were never accurate. It was some glitch in the handset so I had to return the phone. Sometimes it would work but then other times ; not. Very frustrating as I could not answer the calls when they came in.

Purchased as a solution to use cell phone as primary home phone, no landline. Setup up was fine and calls could be placed and received. I did not like the seperate dial button for outgoing cellular versus landline, found it confusing. Easily could adapt to this though.

The deal breaker was when I found out that the answering system only picks up for landline and not bluetooth connected cell phones. I did not see this in the manual, although I only skimmed it. I called the support number and was informed of this limitation.
