 Excellent for what it is June 3, 2004

I'm amazed by the number of people these days who own nothing but cordless phones. Now, I like cordless phones; they're an indispensable part of modern life. But, unlike a simple phone like this Trimline, most cordless phones don't work when the electricity goes out. This phone requires no battery or AC power, and has a lighted keypad, and a ringer on/off switch--all of which make it a nice bedroom phone for emergencies. The sound quality is good, and the volume is adjustable.
MISTAKE January 26, 2004

The design of this corded telephone is very comterble to talk into. The easy-to-read green backlit oval kepad makes it easy to dial at night without having to reach up with one arm to turn on the light. The handset and ringer volume controls makes it easy to turn the volume up or down to make the ring louder or softer and makes it easy to make it to a comterble listening level. The only mistake at&t made was when I press the fire button, it calls 911. It says on the box: "# ONE BEST-SELLING PHONE OF ALL TIME" I can tell why. It has all the features that you can get all in one telephone. I LOVE THIS PHONE!!!!

THIS IS THE **ONLY** GOOD PHONE AT&T MAKES.
THEIR CORDLESS PHONES ARE UNRELIABLE, CHEAPLY MANUFACTUREDED AND HAVE THE WORST RECEPTION I HAVE EVER HEARD.
IN MY EXPERIENCE, ONLY THE AT&T CORDED PHONES ARE ACCEPTABLE.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS BRAND (WHY DO YOU THINK AT&T KEEPS HAVING LAYOFFS- AND THE NYSE TRIED TO UNLIST THEM FOR BEING A PENNY STOCK).. SINCE THE COMPANY BROKE UP INTO 7 COMPANIES, THE PRODUCTS THE PUT OUT ARE NO GOOD.
OUR MOST RETURNED PHONE : AT&T
OUR LEAST RETURNED PHONE: UNIDENAT&T= AMERICAN TRASH TELEPHONE
The most perfect corded telephone is now discontinued January 12, 2004

Imitated poorly by Conair and Bell South, among others, the classic AT&T 210 Trimline is the follow-on to the original pre-divestiture Trimline telephones. Once available in white, bisque/ivory, a greenish color, and black, it's now discontinued. Every few years the manufacturer of the 210 changes. My first 210s are made by Philips. The newer ones are manufactured by some company in China called "Advanced American Telephones." The quality is the same. I have attempted to use the Conair and Bell South knock-offs and none of them have the solid feel and sound quality of the AT&T models. When we used to live nearby a radio transmitter only the 210 Trimlines could filter out the interference.Notable features include a weighted base and the current models being sold have a handy cord winder in the base to shorten a long modular line. The handset cord is the AT&T Tuffcord style so it does not kink, sag, and by some magical technology does not get dirty like the cheaper knock-offs. Features that nobody needs on a phone like this include memory redial and wall mounting. Sadly this product has been discontinued. I have always wanted a red "hotline" colored 210 but they don't exist exept in the form of the old rotary-dial and transformer-powered touch-tone Trimlines installed by Bell before divestiture.
Extremely comfortable phone! June 21, 2002

I bought this phone because it didn't take up much space. Of course, I bought a black one, not a white one.The design of the phone is very comfortable to talk into, and makes long conversations to be less painful. The only problem I did have, however, was the ability to set memory numbers is very difficult. You actually dial the number when connected to a phone line, and if you don't hang up quick enough, you will dial the number. So I highly recommend you don't set this up in the middle of the night, which was the mistake I made. :)
