Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought four of these phones to go with my base unit. Three worked fine; the last did not. It charged up like the others but then began shorting out, making it useless. If I removed the batteries and immediately replaced them it worked fine for a while, but the problem returned. I also tried fresh batteries, being sure to use the kind required. The phone also seemed hot to the touch when it shorted out, a scary thing to me.
I ended up buying a replacement for the defective phone elsewhere (sorry Amazon.)
Amazon took the clunker back for a full refund, including my shipping charge. The warranty provider for the phone (not AT&T - another company working for them) told me to ship it back for a credit. I would give Amazon 5 stars for their customer service.
Despite my concern with the one bad phone, I now have four functional phones and a base unit working in harmony. They do not seem to interfere with our home wireless network.

An illuminated keypad is provided for ease of dialing, and a low battery indicator lets you know when to return the base to its handset for recharging. Flash, hold, mute, and redial (last 10) buttons are also provided. The E580-1 comes backed by a one-year warranty.
