Title: Fixed the problem
Review: Original phones seemed to be giving us problem breaking up not working at times, People on the other end could not hear us at times.. We thought it was the phone service.. after research I thought it was easier to try new phones before switching phone service, since our phones were 17 years old. .. Very happy I did . These phones work great clear sound big buttons and so far no problems. I also like the idea that the Base Unit is much smaller than the original phones , it does not take up much room on the night stand. We got 4 units for all over the house and all work great.

Title: With caller ID, call blocking works great
Review: I purchased the AT&T BL102-4 cordless phone set from the Amazon Warehouse (like-new used in original packaging) when our family switched from a traditional landline setup to a VOIP landline with our local cable provider. We previously had been using a cordless system from another brand with our phone company's service and the call quality was never good - often lots of crackle on the line, making callers hard to hear. I wasn't sure if it was the phones, the service, or the cords, so I replaced all of them and started anew.The build quality of this AT&T phone system was a little less substantial than I expected, but the phones do their job and call quality is good. The handsets and the base feel kind of cheap, but this is an under-one hundred dollar phone system so I guess that's to be expected. It works well though, and the features are good.The only feature I miss is Bluetooth. If this system had it I could pair it with my cell phone, but other than that, it's not missing anything.----------------------------------â¡ï¸ SETUP & USE:I put the batteries in the phones and charged them as I went to the included user manual to try and figure out how to set it up. The manual is a bit overwhelming, but if you read it carefully and go step by step, you can figure it out.Some features on the phone duplicate those offered by my cable company, so I did need to figure out which ones to set up and which ones to leave off on the phone. For example, my cable provider offers voicemail, and thus using the answering machine feature of this phone system isn't something that I do.Once I set up things like the number of rings before the calls were answered, I started adding numbers into my phone's contacts. Doing this let these callers come right through, and helped with call blocking. I set it up so that callers I didn't recognize would have to press the pound button on their phones to get through. This eliminates robocalls, but real-live telemarketers can still get through.---------------------------------------â¡ï¸ CALL BLOCKING FEATURE:Call blocking only works if your phone service provider has caller-ID enabled for your account.It works like this...When a call comes through that you have not put on your call block list already, or that your provider has not filtered, you get an audio announcement of the number and associated caller name. You can disable the audio announcement if desired.You can then decide if you want to answer or block the call. If you wish to block it, you press the call block button on the handset which is in the lower right corner. That stops the call from coming through and the ringing stops on the phone.Call blocking has been a life-changing feature for us. The combination of our cable provider phone service and this phone has eliminated 98% of our telemarketing calls and all of the robocalls. We no longer have to unplug our phones to get some sleep, and the calls we do get are nice and clear.------------------------------------------The top 3 reasons I purchased this phone system...1. I got a heck of a deal through the Amazon Warehouse during Prime Day (an additional 20% off the warehouse price), making it under seventy for me.2. The call blocking feature to eliminate robocalls and telemarketers.3. The ability to increase the volume easily on the handset, for my hard-of-hearing husband.----------------------------------------------- This phone system works with both traditional phone service providers and VOIP cable company phone services. It comes with four handsets and has a built-in answering machine along with the call blocking feature that works with the caller ID provided by your phone service provider.The handsets are lightweight, have big numbers that are easy to see along with the LCD display. The caller ID announce feature is a nice addition and most of the time it's easy to understand.ð¯ I think this phone system is a good one for those who want to eliminate robocalls and telemarketing calls from their life. I also think it's a good choice for those who are impaired visually or have hearing loss.===========================================

Title: I LUV this phone!!! If your issue is blocking numerous annoying spam callersâ¦
Review: I give it 5 stars!! (I donât know what the âLock Featureâ is, but just gave that feature 5 stars too). I had a Panasonic cordless that was several years old and still worked perfectly, but it only allowed me to block 30 numbers at a time, which, with the increase in spam callers, caused me to have to constantly have to go into the block list and remove older numbers to make room for the more recent ones. WELL⦠this one lets you block 1000 numbers!!! (Hopefully that will be enough for a while). Also, my Panasonic cordless would announce âyouâve got a call fromâ¦â and then state about the first 5 numbers, so I was still hearing it ring, tho I know from the area code not to pick it up. With this AT&T cordless, if the spam callers hang up after my greeting starts playing, I never even hear it ring once nor announced. And if the number is on my block list, it wonât ring thru either. I check the phoneâs caller list daily and if I see new un-blocked spam calls listed I can easily put them on the block list. It is also much easier to block calls actively coming in or even afterwards than it was on my older Panasonic. I only have to push a cpl of buttons to put a number on the block list with the AT&T phone, while with my Panasonic, I had to go to the Menu, scroll down to find block list, erase a number to make room for new number, go back to call list to see new spam number, edit it down to 10 digits (minus the â1â), then save it. It was a LOT of steps. So this AT&T phone makes it much simpler in way fewer steps to block numbers. I no longer hear spam caller rings / announcements start in the early morning hours because most of them hang up w/o leaving a message. If they do leave a message - which I have not experienced yet since installing new phone about 4 days ago - I would be able to put them on the block list the same as if they hadnât. I have observed that spammers roll thru various exchanges to try to get to you by changing 1 digit in the number they are calling from at a time. I am very diligent in checking every day for those numbers and block them immediately. This is why the ability to block 1000 numbers is the MOST important new feature of this phone to me. One thing that is different, which is not as good as the Panasonic, is setting Quiet Hours⦠those hours between midnight and whatever time in the morning you do not want the phone to ring at all from anyone. On the Panasonic, there is a setting to enter the specific hours once that you want to be Quiet and it observes those hours day in and day out; however, with the new AT&T phone, you have to set them each night. Itâs an easy setting, but still so easy to forget to do that before bed every night. So that is the one deficiency of this phone, and I am surprised AT&T didnât catch that in their development of it. But so far, I have remembered to set it nightly. Even if I forget, I still LUV this phone because it blocks spam callers so perfectly, and that is the main reason I bought it!! So, if you have a problem with lots of spam callers and want to stop them in their tracks, this is the phone for you!!

Title: Awesome to deter Telemarketers/Robo/SPAM calls!
Review: These things are awesome. I had no issues setting them up for my 88 year old grandma. Nice big numbers she can read. She has 5 phones so she has one in every room so she doesn't have to walk all over to answer a phone. They charge easy. Great value for the money!! Wish we would have bought these a long time ago to prevent SPAM calls. This will screen all of those calls and she doesn't have to worry about being called at 2 AM and worrying if it is a family member in need or some lowlife, lazy, idiot in Timbuctoo trying to scam her! In less than 24 hours it blocked/screened 30 spam calls!! Definitely a good buy, and worth every penny. She actually gets some quiet time during the day now!

Title: AI announcement of caller is all but incomprehensible
Review: At&T should be ashamed that one of the phone's most useful features functions so badly. Artificial voice reflects no native English speaker I've ever heard. Usefulness is based on being understandable.So useless and frustrating I am turning off this feature which is poorly implemented.Likely will be very wary of this company in the furture.
