Sorry to have turned this from a Protege to a Partner system.

I always found the Partner system more of a very poorly designed piece of plastic that is over priced. Sure it is User friendly and easily programmed. But, It over-heats, real bad problems with 206 cards, takes up a lot of room, Cards don't always seat right, battery problems, and on and on. My biggest gripe though is that they won't DIE! They DO keep plugging along. With the Advent of the ACS, I thought they might try to migrate to the 21st century, but, for better or for worst, it is almost the same system as it was 10 - 15 years ago.
Also I have disliked any and all ATT voicemail (except for the AMANDA liscenced to AT&T)
Proteges still suck though, but if the price was the same I would go with the protege of a partner.
