Pros & Cons
Pros
Messages recorded are clear and the outgoing message sounds like me. I hope this help you get clearity on why there is alot alot of noise when messages are being recorded and playback!
It takes five minutes with the easy to understand directions booklet that comes with this machine. It's straightforward and easy to program and use. Functions walk you through setup without any issue.
Cons
Reliably pitiful in the sound quality - yes, consistently so. It is way too pricey for what you get. The sound is worse than i've ever experienced with an answering machine.
Voice quality of announcement is ok, not great, even using the remote access method of recording the announcement that one reviewer suggested. It now resides in my trash bin.

It was brand new, in the original box.
Competitiveness
A great buy compared to some of the others out there.
I choose the 1738 not because it was at&t but because after so many years, nearly all ams, regardless of brand, had the same fe... Read More
Easy setup, sound quality is much better than the ge unit i was using, and it was cheap.
I only wish at&t followed the voice-mail control keys of popular systems like verizon or meridian, rather than invent their own.
