AT&T BL102 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone for Home with Answering Machine, Call Blocking, Caller ID Announcer, Audio Assist, Intercom, and Unsurpassed Range, Silver/Black

I bought this to replace an old phone and like it very well. The sound quality is nice and clear. One thing I REALLY like is the phone has a button you can push to end and block the caller. I have used it several times to stop the constant damn spam calls and it seems to be working. I am enjoying more peace and quiet now. 👍🏼👍🏼

All functions work as promised. Very easy to operate, large buttons. I'm happy with my choice.

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.----------------------------------➡️ 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.---------------------------------------➡️ 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.🎯 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.===========================================

These work great and are easy to install. You can see and read the display very easily. I like the large buttons, and the color set-up works well in all the rooms.

I purchased this to replace a Panasonic telephone and this is perfect! The best feature which when I purchased, I didn't realize that it has smart blocker. This thing is amazing. All those annoying calls are gone now. My phone was ringing at least 4 times a day with robo calls or just hang ups. It's awesome! Love this feature and also it allows the person who is calling you to state their name so you know who is calling. Would totally recommend.

Be aware! Design flaw!!! I want to love this phone, I love the clear voice quality, the answering machine, the big fond and the speaker volume. BUT THERE IS ONE DESIGN FLAW that makes this phone completely useless --- IT DOES NOT STAND ON ITS OWN. This means every time you take it with you, you have to hold it. If you are on a long customer service call, and you want to work in the kitchen or the laundry room, you cannot put it down. It doesn't stand. The bottom of this phone is tilted, not flat. So you have to hold it all the time. I replaced my old Panasonic phone whose battery was dying over the course of 15 years. But at least Panasonic stands on itself. Over the past 15 years, most of the time when I use the phone I was NOT holding it. I let it stand on its own and keep the speaker on, so I can do other things with my hands while talking on the phone. This AT&T phone is not going to work for me. Hard to believe they would design something like that. The photoes show the AT&T phone on the left that does not stand on its own. Panasonic is on the right, which can stand by itself.
