Digital camera reviews of AT&T 1726 Digital Answering System with 3 Mailboxes
Digital camera Review: This box has everything you need
Summary: 5 Stars
I have one of these at home, and when my club needed an answering machine with multiple mailboxes, I bought this one for them. Great functionality available for those who want/need it. Great simplicity for those who don't. Full access to features remotely. For some reason, stores just don't seem to carry this one anymore.Digital camera Review: Thought I would try something new
Summary: 4 Stars
Great tool for weeding out unwanted incoming phone calls.
People that want to keep their phone number a secret no longer get an answer from my phone.
I like being able to hear their number announced before answering even if I'm in bed.
Digital camera Review: Time, Day, Year, but no DATE
Summary: 3 Stars
I got the machine for a friend and I and am happy with the quality and volume of the sound and also the message capacity. However, while setting up the time/day, I discovered that this machine reads the the time/day info in the following format, "Monday, 12:35 PM, 2005." So we have a message from Monday.
BUT WHICH MONDAY OF THE YEAR?!!!
If you are gone for three weeks or if you choose to save an old message for an extended period of time (yes there are good reasons to save some old messages), now you have no clue when the message was left. ATT said they have received many calls regarding this really dumb mistake and that they will include the month/date on their next model. Overall, if you do not care about the date issue, get this machine. If you need to know the date a message was left, this is not the machine for you.
Digital camera Review: True Technology Value
Summary: 5 Stars
This machine is yet another illustration of how quickly technology innovation moves forward (the cynical person would wonder if the vendors were intentionally keeping these machines less capable to sell their ever-green answering services). This machine is very small and packed with features. The one review here at Amazon.com said that you couldn't see the caller's ID. This is true but the ATT1726 will speak the number for you before you have to answer the phone. Way cool.
Other outstanding features: 1. A priority code lets your important callers signal that they're on the line via a special ring; 2. Set your toll saver not only to 2/4 but also to 4/6 or up to 7 rings; 3. With caller ID, the machine will store the incoming number with the message and even (get this, telemarketing haters!) have an automatic message for blocked ID calls saying they can not be accepted and then just hang up; 4. Have callers select a mailbox for their message using a key press--good for roommates; 5. great remote access controls, multiple outgoing messages, announcement only, memory protection for power failures, listen to messages at fast or slow speeds, customizable options like call screening (on/off) and message alerts (beep sound/nothing)...I could go on but you get the point. I had ATT's last machine (the 1725) for years and this is a stellar upgrade. The only drawback I can think of is that the engineers overloaded the buttons with different functions (prob. to save space) making the interface a bit dodgy--setup can be tricky. Great instructions, though.
This thing is awesome. And J&R sell it for [money]!! The price at Amazon.com [money] can't be beat. Although I just got the machine and don't know yet about service issues and the like, my recommendation is to get rid of those silly answering services and save some bucks.
Digital camera Review: Unusable
Summary: 1 Stars
This answering machine has extremely poor audio quality, both on the outgoing message and on incoming recorded messages. The quality is so poor that the content of the messages is totally lost.
