AT&T EL52113 Cordless Phone with Answering System & Extra-large Backlit Keys Light champagne

I bought these AT&t phones through Amazon warehouse. This was my first experience using Amazon warehouse and I was really pleased and surprised. The telephones were listed as like new and they truly were. The box had absolutely no damage and it appeared that had never even been opened. The plastic cellophane was on the handsets the batteries were unopened and unused and everything was flawless. I don't believe anybody ever touched these phones except for me and that somebody just changed their mind and returned them for whatever reason. As for the phones themselves this is a tremendous set because you get three phones and an answering machine. My old phone that I had bought an emergency was not expandable and I did not realize that at the time. Since I live in a house with two floors it was a pain in the neck to have to keep running up and down the stairs when the phone rang so now I have three like I am accustomed to from the past and it is so much easier. To set these up was a breeze. Everything was very self-explanatory so I didn't even have to use the little self-help manual that teaches you what to do. It was very easy to set the volume the time and to record my own message although there is a pre-recorded message available if you choose to use it. The phones have big numbers on them so it's easier to see for us older folks and they're all backflip which is a plus. My old phone didn't even have a speaker phone so how basic is that. There are times and you really need to put somebody on speaker phone and this phone also has an intercom system so that you can have more than one person on listening at a time or you can go and use the other phone and pick up and finish your conversation from one floor to the next from one phone to the next. So far I am really pleased at the quality of these phones. They are lightweight compared to the older phones but that is to be expected these days. Everything seems to be made much later weight. I don't know how long they will last but the AT&t has always been a good brand and I hope that these will last me for many years.

I got this to replace another phone of the same model. It's easy to set up, and the instructions are easy to follow. The buttons are easy to press, and are back lit, so they're easy to see in any light. The sound is good. It is Good quality. I would recommend this phone.

I had this model previously and was very happy with it. My biggest problem with this set is that a time it falls off the wall bracket when I put the phone back into the bracket. I never had this problem with the old one I had otherwise phone works perfectly and I’m very happy with it just praying that doesn’t blow up again. It’s so annoying when it does.

This phone has a home screening feature. That is fantastic. You know how you get all of those telemarketing calls well this tells the telemarketer that they are being screened and if they want to leave a message, they can do that and while they’re doing that, it will ring thru so that you can see who is calling and asks you if you want to take the call or not! It’s wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Before I got this phone, I was getting 24 to 30 telemarketing calls a day that Rang until the answering machine picked up! So I had 25-30 messages p/day! Now I might get one a day. It doesn’t automatically record like the other answering machines they have to actually push a button that says yes I want to leave a voicemail. This is the best phone I’ve ever had in my life. It also will sync with your cell phone. It’s wonderful. I highly recommend this phone!. You can’t go wrong with this phone. It has three cordless handsets. The only thing this phone is missing is to have a table top version to go along with the handsets so that it would sit on a desk with a little console and keypad for when you’re doing lots and lots of phone calls. I make100 call’s a day!! I use it and it’s fabulous. I Highly recommend this phone!

Chose to have land line along with cell phone

Good but couldn't get it off the phone blocker

This phone system was well worth the wait. Set up was a snap. The directions were easy to follow. The only thing that bothered me was that there was no color code inside the battery compartment as indicated. I charged the phone for 16 hours. Each of the 3 phones were already registered. Both caller ID & the answering machine were set up & functional. Instructions setting up directory were easy to follow as were those of setting up individual ring tones on each of the 3 phones. A new message left on the answering machine was clearly audible. I enjoy using the speaker phone which comes through loud & clear. The lighted display on the white phone shows up as bright orange when placing a call & the key pad is large enough to be easily seen. I am well pleased with this phone's set up & performance. THIS PHONE OPERATES IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INTERNET & GOES THROUGH A MODEM-NOT WITH LANDLINE JACK. IF YOUR HOUSE HAS BEEN RECENTLY REWIRED, YOU WILL BE FINE. ALSO, YOU WILL NEED A DSL FILTER WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED NOR CAN ONE BE PURCHASED THROUGH AT&T. I PURCHASED A RCA DSL FILTER FROM BEST BUY. COMCAST WAS OF NO HELP WHEN CALLED TO INQUIRE IF THEY SUPPLIED A THEIR OWN FILTER. I WOULD HAVE PURCHASED A DSL FILTER FROM AMAZON IF I HAD KNOWN THIS IN ADVANCE. OTHERWISE, I AM PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASE. I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH INTERFERENCE WITH COMPUTER AS SPEED HAS REMAINED FAST. VOICES ON THE PHONE ARE LOUD & DISTNCT WITHOUT ECHO. NO PROBLEMS NOTED WITH OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVISES REQUIRING THE INTERNET DUE TO RECENT PHONE INSTALLATION.

Below is my initial rating shortly after purchasing this set, not totally satisfied, but at that time, semi satisfied, but the longer I use them, I'm finding them to be horrible. There are intermittent times where the background hissing and static are much worse than other times, and sometimes, weird screeching noises with someone else's conversation bleeding through, something I didn't think was supposed to happen with DECT 6.0 and has not with my other similar units. Also, the phone case itself is very flimsy. The cap to the battery compartment on the handsets come off easily, often have to go find where it came off and snap it back in. There are also times where I can hear my wired landline ring and this cordless either doesn't ring at all, or there is a few seconds pause before it rings, again something I've never had happen with my other cordless phones. I wish I had not bought this now. Always really liked AT&T products, but this set has really given me a sour taste in my mouth. Its not worth returning, even if it was still within the return period because of all the effort you have to go through to set it up and get it working, so I will just eat the cost, perhaps sell it at the local consignment shop when I find something better. Previous rating comments below: I replaced an old AT&T 3 set cordless phone set with this one. The old set was model 82318 which is no longer available and this set seems to be the closest replacement to it. AT&T phones are overall top notch, but I am finding these newer phones not as good as the older set. Comparisons: More background static and hissing, even when close to the base unit. Going only 30 or 40 feet away, you can still use it, but there is noise and patchy reception. The old set had useful features that this one does not, such as external buttons to control phone and ringer volume. With this, you need to navigate through the set up menu, so if you are talking to someone and want to turn the volume up or down, you cannot. The old set had external jacks so you could plug in a handsfree headset if you wanted, this one does not. When you press the keys on the new set, there is a delay before the tone is generated, and you can easily double dial a number because of that. The old set the buttons responded with an immediate tone, never had problems dialing. The old set came with belt clips which you could use if you wanted to, or remove them if not. Not included in this set. There are a few features on the new set that the old one didn't have such as date and time of day in the display, set by caller ID on incoming calls and keeping current time. Also, the old set did not show how much battery time you had left, this one has that. The backlight on the display is better on the new set. Since I was so happy with the older model and it lasted so many years, I assumed this would be equal or higher quality, but I was wrong. Had I known, I might have shopped around a little more and looked at other models and brands and their respective reviews.

they look very modern

Están muy elegantes y fácil de usar llegaron antes de lo acordado gracias!!

Works fine, easy setup, and has nice large backlit #'s.

Muito bom!

Excellent product. Starts working immediately without any special setup. Small size and beatiful color scheme, far away from a traditional and heavy black. Highly recommended.
