I have been using this phone system for a month or so (AT&T sent me one for free, did you hear that FTC?), and I really like it. I like the handsets themselves – they are about the size and shape of a tv remote, and are much less bulky than the cordless phones I’m used to. I also have not hung up on someone by hitting the “end” button with my cheek, which used to happen all the time with my old phone (just ask Jenny!). I like having two handsets – it makes it very convenient to have the main system in our kitchen, but a spare handset in our bedroom (and they are interchangeable so you don’t have to worry about which one goes where!). You can access the messages on the answering machine from the extra handset, which is also nice. It’s very easy to use, and setting up the answering machine takes about 10 seconds.
My very, very favorite thing about this phone is that it doesn’t interfere at all with my baby monitor (or the baby monitor doesn’t interfere with it, one way or the other). My old phone got so staticky (is that a word?) that I couldn’t use it in any room between Sam’s room and ours… which is about half or house, so it was super annoying. I haven’t had one problem with static using this phone, and it is so nice.
The phone system retails for $59.99, and is available at telephones.att.com or at other major stores.

The first cordless phone I remember using was BIG and very bulky and had a pull out antenna. It worked ok, but was so very staticy.

Duh, I already subscribe to your feed! Because I love you both that much!
Now looking at how far technology has come…the first cordless phone I ever used seems huge, and the range…not great!
The very first cordless phone I ever really used was an old AT&T phone that had an expandable metal antenna. It had no display, but worked very well, especially as I needed to sneak away into a closet to talk on the phone with my friends in the middle of the night. The range wasn’t that good, but the battery life seemed better than some of the phones I’ve used today.

By the way, I would really love to win this phone, as I’m been looking at having to buy a phone anyway because my old Motorola isn’t working very well anymore. This could save me a whole bunch of change.
I could desperately use a new phone system! This one sounds wonderful!

We had one in our house – we thought it was the greatest thing until we found out the neighbors were listening to all of our phone conversations on their scanner/radio

OMGosh, our first cordless phone was heavy and huge. Besides all that, you couldn’t get very far away from the base. They were so awkward and bulky.
Oh, and it had a darned antenna.

My very first cordless phone was bright neon pink and did not work if I was 5 feet away from the base. Great cordless phone huh? And my current phone also always hangs up on people if I try to mulltitask at all!
The first cordless phone I remember using was one at my Grandma’s house. It had an antenna that seemed like a mile long, was heavy as a brick, and the buttons on it were squishy and really hard to push…LOL! It’s funny the way remember some things, huh?

My first cordless phone had a big handset and the battery cover kept coming off.

I honesty can’t remember the first cordless phone I used. But I think it may have been at my grandmother’s house. And it was definitely large.

as a teen I thought they were so cool, even though as I think back on how big and heavy they really were. But teens don’t care, it was a phone you could walk around with

I don’t remember the first cordless phone I ever had, but considering I was in high school before we had cable and in college before we had central heat and air, I’m going to bet it was after I moved out on my own.
My 1st cordless really didn’t have to be cordless because I could move more than 3 feet from the base w/o losing my call! LOL

I don’t really remember the first cordless phone we ever had/used. It does seem like we used a corded phone in the kitchen forever! I remember thinking, I wished we had another phone in the house so I could talk to my friends in private…this was me at age 7! Thanks for the giveaway!
I don’t recall the first cordless phone my family had but do remember my dad being mad when the massive antenna broke off. It happened more then once so I guess thats why it sticks out in my mind!
I can’t remember what cordless phone I used first- but I’m sure it was at a friends house. My parents didn’t get one until a few years ago (hard to believe, right?). I had one in college that was REALLY crappy. I think I got it free from some survey website and I got what I paid for, you know? lol!

I don’t remember ever having a cordless phone… I do remember my first cell phone though!! That thing was massive, it looked like I could make calls to another planet! I tell you what though, I never had any dropped calls or no signals like I do now!
Thanks for the giveaway, we are about to get a land line for our house, and this would be AWESOME to win!
