 Interference on a cord? December 19, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The 1856 was a disappointment. Using the 1856 and a cordless phone at the same time would make the 1856 become almost inaudible. I had another party on the line, and they couldn't hear the 1856 until the cordless phone moved to a new location or hung up. I have two different make/model cordless phones, and they both make the 1856 act in this manner. Cordless interfering with a corded phone, go figure.
 Great phone for the money... December 16, 2008

I bought this phone for the answering machine the price. I've had it less than a month but so far I really like it. It is easy to set up easy to use. The caller ID feature is large enough for me to see with contrasting light. For the price ($30) it is a great buy.
a good basic phone and answering system November 27, 2008

If your needs are simple, this unit is a good solution. The sound quality is good, the handset is fairly comfortable, and the answering system works well. It is fairly easy to set up, though a lot of space in the manual is dedicated to the caller ID/call waiting system that only works if you have subscribed to such a service. The unit is compact, saving desk space, and using it is intuitive. The only complaints I have are minor. You can only record an outgoing message via the small microphone in the front (and not the handset), which has so-so sound quality. Similarly, you can't listen to messages through the handset, which is a problem if privacy is a concern. Finally, you can only delete messages while they are playing, so you need to replay them sometimes to do so. Overall, I am satisfied with this unit, especially at the price.

 ATT 1856 - Not for wall mounting November 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this phone to replace an existing wall phone and it didn't work out very well. The phone hangs at an odd angle when you reverse the bracket on the back of the phone to convert from desktop to wall mount. The base is at a slight upward angle so if your phone is higher on the wall it is difficult to see the caller id and keypad. It also causes it to stick out more from the wall. The marketing photo only shows it in the desktop position and it actually serves better as a desktop phone. The white phone I ordered also came with a black power cord which doesn't look good. A better option for a wall phone is the GE corded speaker phone with adjustable caller id screen Model 29586GE1 approx. same price. This phone hangs vertically and the caller id tilts for easy viewing.
