ATT Home Manager
July 21, 2009
Got an email yesterday morning that the ATT Home Manager was on sale for $99.99. SOLD! Seriously.
This is a system I've wanted since it came out, but $299.99 and $199.99 were just too expensive for what you get. And you get a lot. The base station, a frame and a handset. But $99.99 is definitely worth it.
It's very easy to hook up. You take the base station and plug it into your network via ethernet, plug in a phone cable and the power.
Frame and handset are even easier. They each have a base that plugs in to the wall. It took a while for the frame and handset to see the system.
I also got an extra frame -- and it was missing the March update but got updated in the night.
And an extra handset. You can add two more handsets so I am going to get them and completely replace my old system.
The frames are great -- they are a beautiful photo frame -- best resolution and quality we've seen. They also don't sound like a speaker phone and at $49.99 a piece a good deal. However, you can only have two frames on the system.
The handsets are good too.
There some things lacking -- until July 13th, you could sync your mobile phone contacts with the system but since it didn't work with the iPhone, ATT is eliminating the service -- that's a major fail.
It needs a web browser and a configurable RSS reader.
I would LOVE for it to do twitter and that's just a software thing. Same thing with Facebook.
But for a wireless phone system, it's all good.
Do you know where I can obtain another frame. I am looking for an extra as well. Thanks---Nick

Call your local stores, that's how I found my two handsets (that I am picking up at 1:30).
