can't give it up [Posted on 2007-02-09]
We 'bought in' to this sytem about 4 years ago and i've never been so thrilled with a set of phones. I've never had a problem of any kind. They are clear and never interferred with any of the 3-4 baby monitors we've owned over the years. They have an amazing range and super battery life.
In the last few years we've added a few new handsets for convenience.
The other thing to note is that my 6,5,3 and 1 year old have not been as kind as they could be with the phones. These things have been thrown, dropped, pushed off counters, antennas chewed off, submerged in water, etc. Frequently, they hit the tile floor and the battery cover shoots one way and the battery shoots the other way. Someone goes to time-out and i pop the battery back in and we're good to go until that gets repeated the next day. One hundred times i've expected to put that battery back in and not see the screen light up, but alas, nothing seems to be able to phase it.They've held up through thick and thin. Only recently are we having to replace two handsets of 5 we've owned for 3-4 years.

I will be one sad mom when I'm not able to replace the handsets any longer and they are unavailable. Knowing how these things hold-up though, they should survive all 4 kids growing up and moving out and then I won't have to worry about replacement concerns any longer :)

Nice Addition [Posted on 2007-07-03]
I added this handset to my cordless telephone system. It works fine and setup was very easy. If you need an addition to your system, I highly recommend it.

Works as advertised [Posted on 2007-09-27]
Same as original version, worked straight out of the box. It's a replacement/add on, what more can you say when it works? "Come here Watson, I want to see you?" ;-{)

A few quirks but very good overall. [Posted on 2007-10-14]
I've had the AT&T 5800 phone system for 3 years now. I bought the additional handset separately and more recently. Overall, the system is very good. The speaker works well and the sound quality is good.

A few dumb design issues however. First, there's one button for ending the call and another to get the dial tone. So if you misdialed a number, you first have to press the end button and then wait a second, then press another button to get dial tone again, and then redial. This is annoying. Second, when you review the call history, you can't just pick a number and dial it. Isn't that the whole point? You have to select it, then decide it you want to dial a 1 first, and so on and so on. I just gave up. I just wrote the number down and dialed it manually. This defeats the whole purpose of number history redial.
