I've been waiting for a 2-line phone to have built-in bluetooth features, so I can pair my cellphone with the base so I can answer or dial thru my cellphone w/out having to always carry my cell phone with me throughout the house. This paired amazingly. (A yr ago I tried a separate bluetooth device that attached to an existing home phone and it was awful... I heard echos every time I dial thru the Cell connection. This phone sounds great when using my cell!) I also bought an inexpensive bluetooth headset to pair with the phone, and now i can talk on my home lines using a bluetooth headset and not have to deal with cords. Works great! My only challenges with the phone (none of which are deal breakers for me, so i'm keeping it) are: - The phone & handsets feel a little light, almost kind of cheapish - When using the speakerphone, it doesnt duplex (meaning, if i start talking, it cuts off the person on the other end and prevents me from hearing them if they're talking at the same time) But overall, the phone and features are GREAT.

I was very excited, to purchase what was described to us, as the latest technology...the Bluetooth availability. We operate our 'small business', from home, so the features, and expandibility, digital technology plus the Bluetooth, made it a very easy choice. [...]I called this past week, and learned the system was being cleared out, and handsets would not be stocked in store, or on-line...I sadly, returned the system today, with considerable disapointment. I am now looking into the RCA two-line, expandable systems, as they appear 'well optioned and reviewed'...but No Bluetooth feature, which would have been a great asset.[...] this particular phone, from AT&T, was not well accepted, possibly to the current economy, or the lack of knowledge, in regard to the asset of Bluetooth...Whatever has happened, as a customer, I am back to square one, re-reviewing the best, of older technology.
Comments about AT&T TL86109 DECT 6.0 2-Line Corded/Cordless Telephone with Bluetooth Technology:
Overall very good. Speed dialing and removal of missed calls from the display procedures very cumbersome. White background and black lettering on the screen too stark and not very imaginative. Colors would be more pleasing to the eye. Setup seems more complicated than other programmable phones I have used in the past.
Comments about AT&T TL86109 DECT 6.0 2-Line Corded/Cordless Telephone with Bluetooth Technology:
great phone but needs more lines and cordless. The buttons are hard to push and when your on the phone during an automatic answer, the buttons don't go thru
Comments about AT&T TL86109 DECT 6.0 2-Line Corded/Cordless Telephone with Bluetooth Technology:
Bluetooth headset only works with received calls, not with outgoing calls. Also, when I set up Bluetooth headset with phone it stopped working with my mobile phone,
I see in one of the reviews that you can only receive calls with a bluetooth headset. That you can not make calls. I am in sales and need to be able to make calls and still use my headset. Is this possible?
Moving call history to the directory is not a feature on this phone.

Q:
I have this item and read it is compatible with a headset.However, I can not find a jack on the base of the phone. What headsets are compatible with this phone including wireless.
Yes the speakerphone is in the base and in the handset, for troubleshooting with this phone system, please refer to your user manual or call Vtech Phones directly by calling (800) 595-9511.
The manual for this cordless phone states that the talk time for the handset is up to seven hours, while the speakerphone has a talk time of five hours. You can also expect up to seven days of standby time. Of course, these times depend on the age of your battery and following instructions for charging the units correctly. The handset has a screen indicator when the unit needs charging or has a low battery. Be sure to give your unit at least 25 minutes of charge time without interruption and up to 16 hours for maximum battery operating times.

Q:
Is this phone compatible with the AT&T Small Business System 1080?
No, it is not. This phone is compatible with the AT&T TL86009.
The expandable units compatible with the AT&T 1080 are AT&T 1040 - SKU 684089, AT&T 1070 - SKU 684088 and AT&T 1080 - SKU 684099. for additional assistance, contact customer service at (800) 333-3330.
These phones should be compatible with each other. The only issue you may experience using two corded bases, would be issue with the answer machines. As long as a 1 base has the answering machine turned off, you should have no problem using these phones. To place an order for these phones, please call us at 1-800-333-3330.

Q:
my office is looking to purchase a new phone system and would need to know if we can put two messages on the answering machine so that we would not have to re record a message every time we have to change it.
Unfortunately, there is no option to have two messages on this answering machine. We do not carry any 2 box answering machines on staples.com.
If you find a phone system from another company, you can call us at 1-800-333-3330 and an associate will fill out a form to see if we can get that item for you. You would get a call back within 48 hours with information on the price and the delivery expectations.
