CL84107 DECT 6.0 Expandable Corded/Cordless Phone with Smart Call Blocker, Black/Silver with 1 Handset

We chose the CL82307 as it was the best value, three sets of phones and the base, to replace a 17 year old AT&T cordless. The old three piece set that had batteries going out and those were $52.00 for EACH phone (ouch!). Time for a new cordless phone. The CL82307 batteries are currently $8.00 per phone. So yes, checked that! Speaking of batteries, this phone's talk time is measure in HOURS where the old phone was more like MINUTES. New stuff is way more efficient, and the frequency (~ 1.921-1.928 GGHz) for DECT 6.0 compliant phone has been moved to not intefere with wi-fi or have your micro-wave knoock off your phone call. The phone's OS was pretty much the same as the old phone, but with caller I.D. (annouinces very clearly) and a far superior directory (1,000 entries). The set-up for that was easy, as you just use the blue tooth connectivity to download your CELL phone address book with phone numbers. I down loaded mine, and my wife's CELL phone, and presto all our typical calls are available. But 1,000 entries seems like a lot to scroll through one at a time, yes? But it isn't too bad if you use the jump feature. Jump uses the number key to quickly jump to letters. If you press #3 once for example, you jump to "D" adddress book listing. Press #3 twice you jump tp "E" listings so on and so fourth for each number pads alphanumeric entry. You only need to then scross within that letter's entries. All the base phone's setting go to the satellite phone automatically, where the older phone had a hidden "broadcaste" feature to do that operation, this new phone does it automatically. So once and done as they say. Voice quality is really clear and crisp, so no complaints on that. The voice mail (at your provider's cloud) versus phone mail (in the phone's receiver station) was a problem, however, as the instructions are not proper to use BOTH at the same time. Here is the catch, you need to set the rings to be FEWER than the VOICE mail needs to answer in order for the PHONE mail to answer the call. For example, if I set the rings to six, only VOICE mail answers, If I set the rings to three, the PHONE mail and the VOICE mail both answer. Or, you can turn either or "off". I like PHONE mail as it is displayed in the satellite LED base with the number of missed calls and also allows a 1.5 second interval BEEP to be heard if you turn that feature on to audibly let you know a call was missed. VOICE mail does show a missed call in the handset display, but that's it, you need to go look at the phone's display, then dial the prvider's voice mail to retrieve missed calls. All in all this is a great phone in the initial use and set-up. Will it last seventeen years and going for the old phone? Not sure. It isn't built as well as the old phone but what is. For ~$65.00 for three phones I can't complain. It has the features I use and want and not the exotic satellite base we don't use. We opted for the basic feature set that is still a luxury compared to the old phone. The phone rates really well and so far I agree with the ratings. OK, it has fewer base features, but that's not going to bother me at all. I never use them. Maybe you won't need the exotic base features either, and if not check out this phone.

Ordered these phones for my wife's birthday as our old set and extensions just would not hold a charge anymore. A really great product with lots of extra useful features like blocking unwanted callers, etc. I recommend this telephone set and the seller. Fast shipping and a great price. Built to be sturdy.

I bought this set (model #CL82257) to replace my old phones, AT&T model #82229, which I'd had for my VOIP phone system about a decade. The similarities between the two are striking, and that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned. I loved my old home phones. What led me to replace them was 2 things: 1, the replacement batteries in the handsets just weren't holding a charge anymore; and 2, the handsets stopped communicating with the bases. I did have a little bit of trouble setting these new phones up - but Mother Nature fixed everything! I received the phones over the weekend. I hooked them up, let the handsets charge overnight (they need at least 11 hours), then late Sunday morning, when I tried to finish setting them up, the bases were working but not the handsets. I tried resetting the modem, but that didn't help. Then the power went out for 47 hours because of the terrible weather, and when it came back on, everything was working perfectly. I have no idea why it wasn't working Sunday morning, but it's working now, so that makes me happy. My only problem is, if I have the same problem again, I don't really know how to fix it. But for now, it's working and that's exactly what I needed. One of the biggest reasons I wanted to stick with something like my previous phones is because of all of the features they have, at a great price. They have easily readable backlit screens; they announce the incoming Caller ID (and you can choose to only have the base, or the handsets, or all of them, do the announcements); you can program up to 100 phone numbers to block very easily so Spam & harassing callers can't get through to you anymore, and you can link your mobile phone via Bluetooth so it rings to your VOIP phones instead. You can save lots of numbers in your Directory, plus Speed Dial numbers. It can also record your calls if necessary, but make sure you know the law where you live! In my state, Pennsylvania, both parties must consent to any recording, and many states require that, also, so use that feature with the correct permission (you can easily search, "is my state a two-party phone recording consent state?" on your favorite search engine, just remember to tell it what state you're in & where you're calling if it's different)! I'm glad I found a great replacement phone for my VOIP line that has features I've come to rely on from my old phone plus some new ones that I think I'll find invaluable, for a very affordable price, in a nice style. It's a good buy over all.

This phone blocks unwanted calls and will not ring until the caller says who they are.

Fue una buena compra, me tardé todo un día en entenderle, mi Papá (los compré por él) no creo que le entienda ni a la mitad de sus funciones. Es una muy buena alternativa que compite con mi celular cuando estoy en casa, a tal grado que compré otro juego para mi oficina. Como el instructivo no viene en español batallé todo ese día para configurarlo y que saliera la primer llamada, pues no me daba línea, creo que debería subir un video explicando todo para su instalación y funcionamiento, pero no alcanza el espacio que dan aquí para los videos.

These phones are aesthetically pleasing, very easy to use, very easy to program and I am loving the call screening to avoid unwanted Robo calls! I also love the announcing feature, the size of the buttons and the screen!! So far- FAR from disappointed! I dreaded the thought of replacing phones and having to reprogram my directory etc. but it was really easy and took no time at all! The speaker phone is loud enough and certainly a vast improvement from my previous phone set! Also- I JUST discovered the intercom feature—- AMAZING- now I can call upstairs for refills! Haha I should’ve bought this year’s ago! Enjoy!!!

Tras haberlo utilizado por 2 semanas no he tenido ningún inconveniente. La instalación fue muy fácil, pensé que iba a tener problemas para que la extensión de la recámara se conectara (no llega el internet del módem, por ejemplo) pero no tuve que hacer nada adicional y ha funcionado bien. La característica de bloqueo de llamadas y diferentes filtros para poder aceptar alguna llamada desconocida es super útil: recibíamos muchas llamadas buscando a personas desconocidas y ahora eso ya no es problema. PROS: * Bloqueo de llamadas con diferentes niveles para evitar las molestas llamadas de call centers. * Buena recepción * Tiene una contestadora, aunque en estos tiempos ya casi no se utiliza. * Es muy fácil bloquear o aceptar un número de teléfono. * Gran capacidad para la lista de números bloqueados. CONTRAS: * El mensaje de bloqueo de llamadas es en inglés y no puede cambiarse. Tal vez algunas llamadas que sí hubiéramos atendido no hayan sonado porque quien llamó no entendió.

I’m on a mission to turn everything in my apartment pink, and my ancient old landline needed replacing so this was exactly what I was looking for. It’s very similar to my old v-tech cordless phone - the voice that announces calls, the ringer sounds, and the display screen are all virtually identical. But the handsets have a higher quality feel, and the robo-call blocking feature is outstanding. I’ve tested it with my family and their calls come through, but I haven’t gotten a robo-call since I got this phone. One small irritant is that there is a very bright orange light on the front of each handset. I bought a set of white LED-blocking stickers to cover it up and that’s working for me. It’s so cute and it works great!
