AT&T E5630 5.8 GHz Expandable Cordless System

Date Published: 11/9/06

The AT&T E5630 is a reasonably priced cordless phone provides the latest technology with the option of expanding the system to accommodate up to 4 handsets. Each handset communicates on the 5.8GHz frequency, so you don't have to worry about interfering with Wi-Fi networks (which use the 2.4GHz band). Range is also a little better because digital signals are used for transmissions.
Calls can be forwarded between handsets, and the digital answering machine offers 15 minutes of recording space. Overall call clarity is quite good and the phone has good ergonomics. Other features include: 50-entry telephone directory, intercom, 3-way conferencing, handset and base station speakerphones, and memo recording. This is a good option for people who need versatility and a 5.8 GHz phone but who don't want to spend a lot of money.
