Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Over the past 2 weeks, I've tested 12 different cordless phones, some analog, some 900MHz, some 2.4GHz, some DSS, incuding Panasonic, Sony, Uniden, etc. Even though I didn't ultimately choose the AT&T 9345, I was impressed with the comfortable styling, solid construction, clarity and decent range. People I called said my voice was very clear and distortion free. Earpiece volume is also good. The CID window is large and text is easily readable if you have good vision or wear glasses, but is too light in my opinion. Bolder text would make a big difference and the contrast can't be adjusted. Entering names & numbers into the 20-name memory is a breeze and accessing the stored info is easy and quick. One thing I didn't care for are the solid plastic indented keypad buttons that feel a bit strange and cheap.
The reason I didn't choose the 9345 is partly due to the indented keypad buttons, but mainly because conversations tend to drop out during interference. With slight interference or noise, parts of words or sentences would get cut off and I'd always have to ask people on the other end to repeat themselves. Keep in mind this was only outdoors at a reasonable distance from the house. Inside the house in any room, the 9345 was perfect. But we have a great back yard with a Koi pond, etc and I enjoy talking on the phone out there and don't want my conversations being chopped up.
I expect some intereference with any cordless phone, but don't want my conversations cut off in the process, and all the phones I tried intermittently cut off my conversations during interference (particularly digital) except two...the new GE 2.4GHz (analog) 27910GE1, and Sony analog 900MHz SPP-N1020. I ultimately chose the Sony SPP-N1020 because of its excellent, nearly interference-free performance with no drop-out even when 3 houses away from mine, as well as being well-designed, comfortable and having more features than the AT&T at about the same price.

The AT&T 9345 keeps your phone line crisp, thanks to 900 MHz transmission and 30-channel autoselect for the clearest connection. The three-line LCD works in conjunction with Caller ID/Call Waiting service (offered by most local phone companies) storing the names and numbers of the last 50 callers. The phone also displays phone numbers as you dial, helping you minimize embarrassing misdials to strangers, and features a "message waiting" indicator light to work in conjunction with voicemail services.
The 9345 features a 20-number memory for frequently dialed friends, a page/handset locator, and is headset and hearing aid compatible. Perhaps the nicest feature is that the ringer is programmable, letting you customize the sound. The phone is backed by a one-year warranty.
