AT&T CL83207 DECT 6.0 Expandable Cordless Phone with Smart Call Blocker, Silver/Black with 2 Handsets

Fantastic Phone , Features , Easy To Understand , Set Up , And Works Very Nicely. This Is An Upgrade For Me From A Basic ATT Phone w/o Caller Display And Block Features. This New Phone Replaces That Phone Of 7 Years Age. I Am Very Pleased, Its A Great Phone , I Bought Just The Station And Stock Supplied Handset, Not An Additional Base Unit. This Is Super AAAAAA+++++++ Great Phone In The Price Range I Was Searching For, With All The Features I Need

I love everything about these phones. 5-stars is not enough, Amazon!I purchased these phones in early October 2020 for my mother's apartment in Brooklyn.First, the design. It's very modern. I'm not a fan of the orange LED light under the buttons. Maybe something plain like white or even blue. But the numbers and buttons are big and bold, and the bright orange helps.The nearly squared-off, almost Samsung Note like design is very modern and attractive looking. The black and the silver colors go hand in hand with each other to create a lovely looking house phone.There is a "Push-To-Talk" feature which the only device I can compare it to is a walky-talky or Apple's HomePod where there is a feature to talk to other HomePods in the same house using an intercom feature. It's great! Never know when you might need it.The main phone in the original base came with a battery and the home base is really cool. It looks like a modern office phone where you can name the base as well. (as you can see my phone is blurred out for safety reasons)The screen is really bright! Great for older people.It also has "HD Audio" which as far as I can tell, just has the audio sound more clear. I couldn't make any comparison to my older, all-black house phones that I threw out before writing this review. But I do know that audio can't really be "HD" so as far as I can tell, since that is a picture-related term, this is semi-marketing spin.But since these phones were made by AT&T, the oldest phone company on Earth dating back to 1885, I trust them to make a phone-related device. And since these phones came out in 2017, the call audio is probably better than most phones.These phones were apparently released in June 2017, so this is the best a house phone is getting, in terms of modern and functional.It has other features too, like an antenna to adjust and even a dialer with buttons like an office phone. You can control the volume and change the ringer type as well. It's very well built with superior sound quality.Finally, it has a button JUST for blocking, which is pretty petty and cool. The 'Smart Call Blocker' is an underrated feature and is great for spam calls, which even in 2021, STILL KEEPS happening.It also has features that you come to expect from a house released in the late 2010s. Such as a Mute button, Locator feature (Find HS), speakerphone and redial. With a bunch of buttons on the base to make you feel professional, along with Caller ID and Caller ID Announce.All of the features here sum up to make an excellent house phone that needs to be the ONLY phone that you buy IF you choose to still have a house phone in 2021 and beyond.

Now that everyone and their brother has a cell phone, house phones are all but dead. I don't even have a landline connection, but do use a cheap VoIP service which is connected through a bridged phone panel to phone jacks throughout my home. Unfortunately, the VoIP number receives a ton of robocalls (which is mainly used for faxing on occasion), which was annoying because I only kept the VoIP line for once-in-a-blue-moon faxing and school emergency number use only.This AT&T model phone is super easy to set up, and the call blocking feature is amazing. Because the phone is rarely if ever used for incoming calls, it made sense to fully enable call blocking/screening to send all the trash robocalls directly to the answering machine. Any numbers you add manually to the phone's database do not get call screened, which is the best feature of the call blocking. Most call-blocking devices require you to enter in numbers to block one at a time, which never made sense to me. Rather, "whitelist" numbers you want to hear from, and don't worry about the millions of trash phone numbers you never want to answer.Would've received 5 stars if it wasn't for the cheap-sounding ring tones and 1990s'ish overall feel this phone has, but then again it's probably most appropriate to leave cordless house phone design 90s-themed. Highly recommend this phone.

I love this cordless phone, I especially love the block spam features l, the calls are crystal clear it's amazing. I am so glad I bought it and highly recommend it.

I read many of the negative reviews and was initially adverse to purchase but decided to take a chance since our level of spam calls had become almost unbearable. On arrival setup was relatively easy, but do read the directions. I disagree with all of the negative reviews. This phone is perfect with one caveat. You have to read the directions. It is, in fact, one of the best phones out there and will stop all spam calls. We have received not one spam call since setup. Advice: put all the frequent numbers you expect to receive in your directory. If you don't, not a serious problem, but callers will have to hit the # key to announce their calling, and then you should put them in your directory. Voice quality fine. Ringer tone and level, just fine. No problem in setting up (6 rings) so our legacy Verizon voice mail (4 rings) would handle our voice messages. Would give 5 star+ if possible. Lots of options here: haven't printed the full 176 odd page User's Manual but lots of useful info there as well.
