AT&T 2255 2.4 GHz Dual Handset Cordless Phone with Answering System and Caller ID (Champagne)

The stylish and functional ATT 2255 2.4GHz Dual Handset Cordless Telephone and Answering System with Caller ID / Call Waiting Display. Having 2 handsets offers some distinct advantages in a large home or family situation.

Equipped with a pair of cordless handsets, a base unit with a built-in answering system, and a charger for the second handset, the 2255 is stylish, easy to use, and affordable. The bundle is ideal for households with free-roaming users, or for rooms with no phone line access, such as garages or attics. Even better, the reception on each handset is clear and static-free thanks to the 2.4 GHz frequency, which offers more clarity and a greater range than 900 MHz phones. As a further benefit, the two phones can act as intercoms, letting users contact one another from across the house without yelling or pounding on the wall.

The built-in answering system, meanwhile, includes three digital mailboxes for more efficient organization. The mailbox system is particularly nice for busy households, as it lets users organize messages according to the recipient, or in a home office setting where home and business messages need to be stored separately. The answering system sports such additional features as 15 minutes of digital recording time, remote access (for checking messages when away from home), call screening/intercept, and intuitive voice prompts.

In addition, both cordless handsets include three-line LCD displays that provide caller ID and call waiting data (subscription required), including storage space for 25 names and numbers. Users will also appreciate the display-and-dial function, which lets you scroll through the phone's directory and quickly dial the selected number, along with the time/date stamp that lets you know exactly when you received an incoming call. And thanks to the 20 speed dial presets, you'll have quick access to your best friends and favorite restaurants.

Additional features include a memo record function that lets you leave reminder messages for yourself or others, a page system that lets you locate the handsets when they're misplaced, adjustable volume levels for each unit, and a low-battery indicator. The bundle, which also includes a pair of rechargeable ni-cad batteries, is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
