pros and cons of this model [Posted on 2008-03-18] pros: a non-pricy at&t speaker phone+answering machine.
cons: the announcement of each voice message starts with a "Power Failure" greeting.
Very bad [Posted on 2008-03-22] I bought one of these systems 18 months ago - the first one broke down and AT&T replaced it BUT I had to pay for mailing cost. Now after 12 months the second one has broken down. It will not take messages. The phone works and the answering system is answering but not taking messages. Very disappointing experience. Do not recommend.
Bought to replace a GE 29897GE2 [Posted on 2008-04-30] This one works like you would expect, and makes me sorry that I didn't look at the reviews before purchasing the terrible GE 29897GE2. I have had the 1855 about a year now, absolutely no problems with it ignoring callers.
Keep looking [Posted on 2008-05-08] Actually, this is about a predecessor model 1818 which was bad to begin with (poor tonal quality); the speaker then began fading in and out both for phone calls and for message replay, and finally, the buttons stopped working entirely --- all within the span of six years of fairly limited home use. When I compare this machine with the durability of my old Panasonic tape machine, which lasted over 15 years, I rate the AT&T product as wholly unacceptable. Even when new, the tone quality of the message recorder was so bad, it was often difficult to decode messages and, more importantly, call-back numbers.
Review of recently purchased phne [Posted on 2008-05-08] Very disappointed with features of this phone as a replacement for an older Ameritech phone. Unable to store more than 7 numbers. Have no signal that a voice mail has been received. Have now purchased another more expensive phone that features what is missing with this phone
