This was a replacement product and was actually an upgrade to our previous model. This model displays in color and still coordinated with the base set. So if you need an E580-1 replacement, this newer model works.
I have had it for several years and have never had a problem with it. I purchased the AT&T phone E5800 series phone that came with only 1 expansion phone and I needed 1 more. I can't be more pleased with this phone. It is easy to use and very dependable. I would recommend it without hesitation.
If you have a large house, like I have, can page anyone in any room. It is costly but worth it. The answering machine is one of the best I have owned. Great advantage for you if you are disabled, busy, need a question answered, need help, or want to tell someone something and don't want to yell. Additional expansions up to eight can be added. The intercom I use the most. It's great for your entire family. Reception is excellent.
The third phone works great for a minute or two and then it just goes dead. One of these was replaced within the first year and the replacement doesn't work at all now. I have three of these in my house - all bought in September of 2006. Initially I was very positive about these phones, but now I have nothing but a bunch of crappy phones that cost me several hundred of dollars. I swapped out batteries from a phone that does work so I know that it is not a problem with the batteries. Another phone now has so much static when in use that it is untolerable to listen or talk using that phone. It's ironic that they all seemed to have problems shortly after the one-year manufacturer's warranty expired. If you risk buying any of these handsets, the extended warranty might actually make sense since the product has such poor quality.
I had the base unit and 4 expansion units prior to purchasing the 5th expansion unit. I really like the features and the reliability of the phones over the many other brands and types I've tried in the past.
