Last Of A Dying Breed.

Date of Review:  Nov 25, 2004
The Bottom Line: Given the alternatives, this is one of the better stand alone answering machines still on the market today. Audio quality needs to be improved.
Review: The AT&T 1726 is a single line, three mailbox answering machine. This unit is available in many office supply and electronics stores. It is manufactured for AT&T by Advanced American Telephones, a division of VTech.

The unit is black in...

Date of Review:  Mar 6, 2002
The Bottom Line: Good Sound, Easy to use, Lots of features & 40 minutes of recording time. Definitely recommended!

Update 1/17/03: link to owners manual (bottom of review)

I bought this unit to replace a GE 29876 that was not compatible with my "Telezapper" (the...

Better than I had hoped.

Date of Review:  Oct 16, 2007
The Bottom Line: Heartily recommended: adequate quality, good features, easily mastered.
Review: After reading reviews complaining of poor sound quality and excess complexity, I was pleasantly surprised with the unit. The number of buttons is few compared to the number of features. A little study makes them perfectly clear. The sound quality,...

Date of Review:  Jun 1, 2006
Review: Horrible machine! NOT user friendly AT ALL! Could not understand the instructions compiled on this table size sheet. Went to the web site to get a condensed version. It was 13 pages long! Finally did get a message to record but it was garbled with...

Excellent Features But Died After Only 1 Year!!!

Date of Review:  Jan 23, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a machine that lasts, DON'T buy this one! If you don't mind replacing the machine every year, you'll enjoy the wonderful features while they last.
Review: This answering machine was wonderful while it worked but it died after only 1 year! When I called their tech support, they told me it needed repair with a minimum $25 charge. I told them for $25 I could buy a new one. Then they told me I could buy...

Abysmal...If only I could have this product AND have it WORK!

Date of Review:  Dec 31, 2004
Review: I bought this machine 1 year ago for my massage business. I needed a unit that would work silently and I could access remotely. I loved the features offered on this machine. It had everything (including things I don't even use).

Some nice bells and whistles, but can be complex and frustrating to use

Date of Review:  Apr 8, 2003
The Bottom Line: A good value with some nice features... if you don't mind getting used to a very quirky user interface and dealing with occasional (though minor) remote access problems.
Review: I've been using this answering machine for about a year now. I was originally attracted to it's multiple mailboxes and spoken-aloud caller ID feature. It delivers quite well on those two features, but is otherwise frustrating to use.

All...

Record Quality less than perfect

Date of Review:  Aug 31, 2005
Review: Bough this machine off of the walmart web site for $29.99, I will be returning it as soon as I get around to it. The record quality on the outgoing greeting (that plays when people call) is very garbled!! It is not of professional quality at all! I...

Nearly impossible to program

Review: I have two masters degrees. I have not had problems programming VCRs, reformatting computers, or working with other technical equipment, but this machine was just plain impossible to program. I spent an hour following the directions which did not...
