Customer Rating:      Summary: Good, solid basic phone for the money Comment: My portable phone finally went haywire so I decided to buy this corded phone since I don't really need a portable and all the static that comes with it. This AT&T phone is a basic design, feels sturdy and works very well with clear sound. No static, no distortion, no sounding like people are in the distance or speaking from a straw or whatever, it sounds just like the good old solid phones we used to have before all the portable junk started spreading all over the place. I accidentally dropped it when answering a call and it came out unscathed. If you want a solid, basic phone without bells and whistles, buy this one. Actually, it does have the ability to program thirteen numbers (a feature I used successfully) so it does have some bells and whistles.
Customer Rating:      Summary: It works well, but cannot be mounted on a wall Comment: The receiver keeps falling out of the cradle of its own accord if you try to wall mount this phone.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A Decent Basic Phone At A very Decent Price Comment: All the good reviews are justified. Extremely good sound quality. Just enough features to make it satisfying to use...last number redial, mute, lighted dial(Not the brightest, but still adequate), up to 13 numbers memory dialing.
As others have pointed out, the handset cord is a bit short, but it's easy enough to acquire a longer one if you want.
The phone seems pretty sturdily constructed and it's pretty inexpensive.....a good buy.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Solid and dependable Comment: This model is really Old Reliable. The price is right, the sound is fine (and there's volume control), the one-touch dialing is simple to program, the keys light up, and -- as I can affirm -- you can drop the phone onto a hard floor without it breaking.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Yes, you need a regular phone Comment: For a very small investment, I'd recommend getting this phone to keep in touch with the world when our ubiquitous "fancy" technologies fail. We keep this phone connected to a jack in our office next to our desk where it's handy for everyday and it always works, regardless of power failures. You may think you have a real back-up to your cell phone if you have a land line, but remember that portable phones require electricity to work. I particularly chose this phone cause it doesn't have Caller ID (which requires batteries that need replacing) and the previous A T & T Trimline phone we had lasted over 10 years. We consider it part of our emergency preparedness.
