The AT&T 1080 has a built-in digital answering machine that features 60 minutes of digital recording time, and a programmable auto attendant. It allows for remote access with programmable options and allows users to record memos.

As your company grows, the phone system can be expanded to 16 stations with AT&T models 1040, 1040, and 1070. The phone allows you to page, intercom, and transfer calls between stations. A large display provides easy-to-read text for setup and caller information. The phone has a 200-entry memory and a 200-name-and-number caller ID history. Numbers stored in the caller ID history can be dialed directly; and with call waiting-capable caller ID, you can see who is calling even when you are already on the line. If you subscribe to a voicemail service, a red light blinks when you have voicemail waiting. The phone has 32 speed dial and 16 intercom number locations for one-button access to your most frequently called numbers. Memory loss protection prevents the phone from losing its saved data. For hands-free operation, the 2.5-millimeter jacks lets you connect a headset.
