 It's fine! November 17, 2007
One part of this phone is pretty cool: I really like being able to sit on my fat butt and wait for the caller ID voice to tell me who is calling. But sometimes I'm sitting nearby so I fumble through the dark, lift the entire phone up in the air, squint my eyes, and eventually figure out who's calling, only in time for the caller ID announcement to start. The dumb thing is that once the guy starts announcing the number, he won't stop until he says the whole thing. If you pick up during the announcement, you won't be able to talk to whoever is on the other end until the guy finishes announcing the caller's phone number. Pretty much anytime someone calls I pick up in time for the announcement to start, and I have to sit and wait for him to finish before I can talk (so I'm worried that the person is going to hang up!). br /br /Also, again, no backlighting for any of the keys or displays, and the phone is really easy to push off the hook. If you put any pressure on the cord, the phone will lift from the cradle.br /br /Otherwise it's totally fine. I just wanted a phone with caller ID that didn't require batteries. Check! Next time I buy a phone I'll make sure its keypad and display are backlit.
Caller ID is hard to see November 1, 2007

This phone works fine and is easy to program for "memory" and "quick dial" numbers. Unfortunately, even though there are several contrast settings for displaying the caller ID, all of them are difficult to see.
 Disappointing October 25, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have spent the last three days trying to program this phone and it just gets more and more exasperating. There are 30 buttons on a 4 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch area and if you touch the wrong button, it is either erasing the information just entered, changing the settings, or recording phone conversations or ambiant noise. The read out is hard to see and it has only recorded one caller ID and now that functon has stopped. My other phone with caller ID is still recording the information so I know there is nothing wrong with my phone service. Yesterday it started blocking all outgoing calls altho I can still get incoming calls, I don't have a clue what is going on with this phone. In the past 10 years I have purchased well over 500 items from Amazon and this is the first time I have ever had any kind of problem. I know there are good reviews with this product but the one I have is a real DUD.
 Best I found October 20, 2007
I'd like to start by saying that it seems nearly impossible to find a quality, low end corded phone with a built in answering machine. I mean, we're making iPhones now, people. You'd think we could get this right.br /br /This phone does the job well enough. It has good sound quality while on a call, is fairly simple to set up (however, I am of the tech generation. I imagine anyone who is not familiar with gadgets could get confused VERY easily), and the answering machine works well. Complaints: short cord (it's like three feet long--what's up with that--I'm used to moving around while talking on the phone), the mic that records your greeting for the answering machine is terrible (it makes you sound like Darth Vader), and the power cord falls out easily, which means if you ever move the phone and it disconnects you have to set up the answering machine again. And again. And again...br /br /But like I said, it's the best one I found, so work with what you got!
Good corded phone/ ans. machine October 13, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this phone for my mother to replace her older ATT corded phone w/ ans. machine. She lives in a small town that doesn't offer voicemail and this is the perfect solution. The phone works great, good volume, and easy to set up. I like her to have a corded phone along with her cordless in case the power goes out....this makes a phone always available and another plus is that you always know where the phone is, not like a cordless that goes where you go and sometimes stays there even if you don't. All in all, she tells me she loves it and the voice quality is superb.
