Today I would like to share with you a 3 Handset Connect to Cell Answering Service phone. I was sent this phone for a review but all the thoughts in the review are mine and mine alone.
I needed a home phone even though we have Cell Phones as I have Charlie and sometimes the cell phones signals are not as good as they should be. Plus, I also end up with a lot of calls that drop. With the new AT&T phone I I do not have to worry about all of that as I can use the home phone and keep the cell phone for when we go out.
Some of the features I with the 3 Handset Connect to Cell Answering Service phone is that there is a answering machine with it which makes it nice as any of us can access the messages on the phone and we do not miss as many messages as we did through the Cell Phones. Plus I also like how slim it is as it is easy to hold.
When I make or receive calls it is so much clearer than my cell phone as well. I also like that it comes with a Battery Backup as this will make sure I am still able to use it during a Storm.
Knowing I can set certain ringtones so it distinguishes who is calling at any given time is a plus. I also like knowing it has a 6.0 Interference free communication. I can use up to 4 Cell Phones with it as well. Which is a great feature as it works with our Bluetooth.
Plus I can even charge my phone and still use it which is nice as my Cell Phone does not keep a charge as well as it should. Knowing that I can screen our calls is so much easier as well.
David and I both liked knowing we can see who is calling with out picking up the phone as sometimes my hands are hands are full and I can not pick up stuff. Plus there is times where my hands are not working the way they should and this will help with that.

NEW AT&T CLP SERIES ONE OF THE MOST ROBUST PHONE SYSTEMS ON THE MARKET
2013 Product Line Brings Leading-Edge Telecommunications Tools to Consumers and Small Businesses
BEAVERTON, Ore., June 18, 2013 – Advanced American Telephones (AAT), which manufactures AT&T-branded telephones under a license agreement withAT&T Intellectual Property, today announced availability of its new 2013 AT&T-branded product line, delivering high-quality communication solutions to consumers and small businesses. The new AT&T line includes one of the most robust cordless phone systems in the marketplace with the debut of the CLP series with Connect to Cell™, which features a USB cellphone charging port, Caller ID Announce, push-to-talk capabilities, HD audio, mobile notifications, unsurpassed range and ability to wirelessly pair two DECT cordless headsets.
“The CLP product series builds upon the powerful benefit Connect to Cell brings in bridging consumers’ mobile and home environments so they can prioritize and stay connected,” said Matt Ramage, senior vice president of product management at Advanced American Telephones. “Through this year’s Connect to Cell phones, headsets and small business products, individuals and small office managers have the best resources and flexibility to address the communication challenges they face.”
The advanced and affordable four-line AT&T MS-Series Business System introduced late last year continues building traction with small businesses. Standard system features include support for up to four lines, individual voicemail boxes and conference calling for the professional functionality a small business needs, while remaining easy to set up.
Adding to the 2013 product offerings is the richly featured DECT 6.0 TL7910 headset that brings hands-free mobility and voice commands to the home or office. Further rounding out the AT&T-branded product line is the long-range, two-handset cordless CL82213 phone system. Audio settings are customizable to hearing needs or preferences, and it expands to 12 handsets, making the CL Series a versatile option for any household.
Unmatched Features With Connect to Cell System
The CLP99283 two-handset Connect to Cell system (MSRP $99.95) allows users to wirelessly pair up to two cellphones with the phone base. Once connected, users can make and receive both cell and landline calls from the CLP phone system for virtual multi-line calling. Also, when the base is placed in a location with stronger cellular service than other locations in the home, the system essentially improves cellphone call experience throughout the home because calls can be conveniently answered on the cordless handsets.
AAT pushes the boundaries of the home phone with this full-featured AT&Tbranded phone series, including a cellphone charging port and mobile text, email, calendar and social media notifications from Android™ smartphones to the cordless phone system. It marks the end to missing a call, text or email because a smartphone battery is dead or the device is in another room. Users can centrally manage mobile communications by downloading the AT&TConnect to Cell app to an Android smartphone and pairing the smartphone to the CLP Series base. Once set up, the phone system will alert the cordless handsets on the system when text messages, emails or social media updates have arrived on the paired smartphone. The free AT&T Connect to Cell app is required for the notifications to work and is available for download using the Google Play™ store app.
Additional enhancements include back-up power and a new simulated full duplex handset and base speakerphone which improves the quality of both parties speaking at the same time. Consumers with compatible phones can download their cellphone contacts to store up to 6,000 directory entries, easily add new contacts, and have the system announce the name of the incoming caller with Caller ID Announce. The CLP99283 can expand to 12 accessory devices, including the CLP99003 handset (MSRP $19.95), up to two TL7600 headsets (MSRP $69.95), or the TL80133 wireless speakerphone (available fall 2013).
Additional CLP Connect to Cell models include the three-handset CLP99383 (MSRP $119.95) and four-handset CLP99483 (MSRP $139.95). The TL86109 (MSRP $149.95) offers Connect to Cell and two phone lines with a corded base and cordless handset. For even more cost-efficient Connect to Cell options, the two-handset TL92273 (MSRP $79.95) comes with a simulated full duplex handset speakerphone and the TL96273 (MSRP $89.95) features a full keypad and speakerphone on the base for easy dialing and hands-free conversations.
Ultimate Small Business Communication Tool
Continuing its success from last year, the four-line AT&T branded MS-Series Business System allows small business owners to have a professional-quality phone system without worrying about cost and professional installation requirements. Standard system features include support for up to four lines, individual voicemail boxes and conference calling for up to five parties. The main MS2085 console (MSRP $149.95) is expandable by adding up to 15 MS2015 desksets ($99.95 MSRP), helping a small business grow with more phones as needed.
The entire system is connected through existing office Ethernet with no additional wiring beyond the standard phone lines plugged into the console. This easy, out-of-the-box set up differentiates the system from some competitive offerings that require phone lines at each desk, and it eliminates the need for professional installation or a telecommunications provider to maintain the system.
Individual work stations can be customized with the MS2025 cordless handset (MSRP $79.99) or TL7600 cordless headset. A number of features can help improve office productivity and professionalism, including:
· An auto attendant answering system with dedicated mailboxes for each deskset, allowing employees to manage their own voicemail and out-of-office messages
· Full duplex speakerphone on corded sets for hands-free calling and inclusive group discussions
· Large display screens to view contact lists, missed call logs and other information
The Best of Hands-free Mobility
The DECT 6.0 TL7910 cordless headset (MSRP $199.95) bridges both the home and the small business environments adding hands-free convenience and mobility. The sleek and versatile headset can be worn three ways – over the ear, over the head and around the neck – and can reach up to 500 feet away from a connected phone base*. New voice command functionality allows the user to answer, call, or redial just by speaking. The Caller ID Announce feature will identify the caller, so the user can decide whether to answer right from the headset.
The headset also can be used with a laptop or PC to enhance online phone services such as Skype™ and Microsoft® Lync® using the accompanying AT&Tbranded Softphone Call Manager software. The secure, magnetic charging cradle keeps the device connected while charging, even if bumped or jostled.
Long-Range Phone for the Home
The two-handset cordless phone system CL82213 (MSRP $59.95) provides long-range telecommunications coverage and clarity with its antenna and noise-filtering technology. Users can customize audio to individual hearing needs with four preset audio profiles, or by using the equalizer to adjust bass, treble and natural tones. The simulated full-duplex speakerphone is another feature, which allows both parties to speak at the same time.
The system is designed with an extra-large display and big, backlit buttons for easy dialing in low-light conditions. Expandable up to 12 handsets (uses CL80113), this system also can be used as a multi-handset walkie-talkie to communicate with any or all of the handsets in your home. Other helpful features include caller ID, call waiting and caller ID Announce that speaks the name of the incoming caller.
