What a Relief it IS!!! [Posted on 2006-09-24]
After researching many possibilities, this phone looked like the best Bang for the Buck and by golly, it absolutely has proven to be so!! Interestingly, this was shipped from Sam's Club....Go Figure!!

love the phone - hate the answering machine [Posted on 2006-10-29]
The phone, overall is good however I wish it would let me designate which line is my primary and pick that one on the base when I lift the handset (primary is Line 2).

The answering machine is JUNK - it ALWAYS, AND I MEAN ALWAYS cuts off incoming messages, even short ones. And, for some reason, many callers get interrupted in the middle of their message with "Please enter the access code". What is this?

Great Phone! I Love it! [Posted on 2007-07-24]
The 2-line AT&T Phone E2662B has some great features. I noticed that it is important to read the handbook prior to using the phone. This would avoid some of the problems encountered in earlier reviews.

1. Line 1 or line 2 can be selected from the base prior to picking up the handset. Also, phone numbers can be predialed prior to picking up the handset.

2. The sound quality of the answering machine is very good. Messages are not cut off. If they are, it is an isolated incident and the phone needs to be returned and replaced. Different messages can be recorded for lines 1 and 2. You can choose to have only one mailbox on or off or both. Calls can be prescreened. The intercom can be used to contact a family member in another part of the house.

3. Each cordless handset can be personalized i.e., Deck, Garage, Bathroom, etc. The base is automatically updated when the cordless handset is changed. It is great because phones can be placed in areas where you do not normally have phone jacks.

IMPORTANT NOTE! YOU MUST USE A DUAL JACK OR ADAPTER AND FEED PHONE LINES 1 & 2 SEPARATELY INTO THE BASE TO PREVENT HEARING CONVERSATIONS ON BOTH LINES.

Con: If a phone call is answered at the base then picked up from one of the cordless phones in the set, the phone call will be dconnected from the base when the call is disconnected from the cordless phone even while holding the handset of the base.

Simply the best cordless phone out there right now! [Posted on 2007-07-27]
This cordless phone system is simply the best I've ever come across and I've had a few Unidens, Panasonics, GE's, Sonys, and others. It is missing a few features found in some other phones, but if you don't need to share your phone book with all the extensions it's all good.

Battery charge life is so-so, but not a problem unless you spend most of your life on the phone.

SQ is crystal clear and rage is quite amazing. I can walk almost 1/8 mile from my house and maintain clarity.

Buy this phone system before it becomes unavailable!!

Interference from wireless router [Posted on 2007-12-21]
I bought this phone for my home office.
The cordless phone has major interference from my wwireless internet router. I was on the phone with phone company for 6 hours and even had a tech come to my house.
The only way to resolve the problem is to unplug the router.
I would not buy this phone if you are worried about interference.
maybe a 5.8 ghz would be better
