I'm looking for a simple key system for use in my home, and it looks like the AT&T Partner will do most of what I want (especially, the ability to work with ordinary single-line phones). For me, the big plus for AT&T is that they have retail stores I can just walk into. The minuses are: - inability to use all the features from ordinary phones, and - price. The retail prices from the AT&T phone store are: - $400 for each Partner system module (2 outside lines, 6 extensions) - $160 for each Partner multi-line phone (needed to use the full functionality of the system) My question is whether I'm likely to do much better with other systems such as Panasonic, enough to make it worthwhile to hunt for someone willing to sell them to me. Thanks in advance for any help.
