As soon as I plugged it in, the phone began randomly toggling the TelCo line because of neighborhood interference. It remained about two weeks before the clicking of the relay (!) drove me to yank the plug. During that time, a normal non-ATT phone on the line picked up an apparently permanent buzz in the earpiece & had to be discarded. Could the wireless' base unit have broken the other phone?
