[comp.dcom.telecom] AT&T 5000 Series Cordless Phones are Superb!

        Ben Singer commented on his purchase of a Panasonic Cordless
phone and had alluded to AT&T's phones. Allow me to say that -- even
if I despised AT&T (which I definitely don't) -- I can honestly state
that AT&T's cordless phones in the 5000 series are superb!

        I have the old model 5200 (now replaced by an updated
version), and I love it. The reception is spectacular. Their 5500 is
also a great buy. It has a speakerphone (one of the best on the
market), as well as a dial pad on the base (good idead if you
misplaced the handset). It has ten channel security, intercom, extra
base for the handset, etc. While the $249 retail price is kinda high,
I'd suggest getting ahold of an AT&T employee who can get one for you
as a "gift" at a substantial discount.

        By the way, Ben, you could always call AT&T at 1-800-555-8111
and ask about home delivery and other personal phone equipment stuff.
