 Excellent Choice July 4, 2008

First and foremost, this line of AT&T DECT 6.0 cordless phones works extremely well, no background noise even with a home wireless system, great range, and very good sound quality both with the handset to your ear and on speaker phone. It does all that one should expect from a cordless phone system. Entering names and numbers into your directory is very intuitive, as is using the caller ID and changing the ringer tone and volume. You hardly need the manual. We use the "phone company" voice mail, so I haven't evaluated the "usability" of the answering machine, but it "talks you through" the setup steps, setting the clock, etc., and seems very user friendly to operate. Another nice feature is that directory and CID entries are maintained in the base station, so if, for example, you enter a name/number on handset #1, it is immediately available on all other handsets on your system.
The handset is quite lightweight and compact compared to our previous cordless phone, which took a little getting used to, but my wife and I adapted to it after one or two days. The handsets come with belt clips, which I use, not to clip them on my belt but because they raise the back of the handsets slightly if you lay them down, which I find improves the the speaker phone sound (the speaker is on the back of the handsets).
One minor drawback, compared to my prior cordless phone, which permitted each handset to be identified by location, e.g., "kitchen," "bedroom," etc., is that each AT&T handset has a number (and added handsets are given consecutive numbers as they are registered to the base up to the maximum of 12), so you have to remember the location numbers to call another handset on the intercom or to transfer incoming calls. Not a big deal, but being able to name each handset is a nice feature.
Be aware that the SL82(X)18 models are all the same, with the (X) indicating the number of handsets with that bundle. For example, SL82318 comes with three handsets, SL82418 with four, etc. I mention this because the various bundles appear to be different products, but they are all essentially the same, so keep this in mind when shopping for the best deal. The only exception seems to be that models SL82518 and SL82558 both have five handsets, but I haven't been able to find what the difference between them is, even on the AT&T site. Since my review applies to all bundles of this system, (if they let me) I will post this review under the several different model numbers.
All in all, I am extremely pleased with these purchases, first a four handset bundle, then three additional handsets for a total of seven. Hope this review is helpful in making up your mind about selecting a new cordless phone.
Great, user friendly phones June 15, 2008

I really do like this handset group better than any other I've had. The design is well thought out. The handset is light and and is very user friendly. The numbers which completely light up a pretty shade of blue are extremely easy to read. The set up is a breeze. Programming and storing frequently used numbers as well as setting up the answering machine and clock didn't even require reading the instructions because the set up just makes sense. You can change the ringer tones and volume. I also like the intercom system that lets one phone call any other phone. Each handset is identified as 1, 2, 3, or 4 so you can know which one you're calling which, in my opinion, beats screaming ;-)
The Best Phone Ever! July 8, 2008

I can't say enough nice things about this phone. I love the blue light, the ring, that each phone has a speakerphone option. It's so easy to program. The clarity is exceptional. You can control the volume on each handset. It is a great phone all around. I would highly recommend it! Another thing... so far, it's held up to my 2-year-old dropping it multiple times.
Excellent Value! July 16, 2008

These phones replaced 4 year old Panasonic phones. I am very pleased
with the performance of these phones and the answering system works
well. Much simpler than the "top rated" Panasonic that I did have.
The price is unbelievable for what you get. You will not be disappointed.

Easy setup... Impressive range. I have a big old house. I had to walk well into the next block before I lost the signal.
Nice looking light phone
