 Spec's not accurate August 13, 2008
I was looking for a slimline phone with a speaker, the description of this phnoe indicated it had a speaker, after I received it there was no speaker so I returned it to Amazon.com
 Good basic phone, maybe not so good for wall July 28, 2008
I've had a white trimline-style phone on my kitchen wall for many, many years and finally got tired of trying to clean it. So I hopped online and looked for a replacement. I wanted Caller-Id but didn't want to spend a fortune so this phone seemed to fit the bill.
Now that we've had it for a couple of weeks, I'd say it works fine as a phone and haven't had any Caller-Id problems. The only thing is it's kind of "thick" for a wallphone, and sticks out from the wall more than my last phone did. Also the hook that holds the receive in place is a bit flimsy and you have to be careful when you hang it up. If you plan to hang this on the wall and have little kids or pets or clumsy husbands who will run into it, be prepared for the receiver to get knocked off a lot. Other than that it's perfect for the price.
 Good phone but annoying blinking light July 3, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
As someone who lives in an old home with few electrical outlets and limited space, I love a good old Trimline landline phone. This phone works well for that purpose, and has some good modern features beyond that of the regular Trimline. However, it has the annoying feature of a blinking light to show that calls have come in, even if the phone was picked up. We find it rather annoying to have the phone blinking in our otherwise dark hallway all night just because we received (and answered) a call before bedtime and didn't have time to empty the call log. It would make more sense if it blinked only to warn you that calls came in and were not picked up.
AT & T 265 Trimline Phone with Caller ID & Call Waiting May 20, 2008
Great phone with a lot of features, that takes up very little space. Can't beat the price for all the features this phone has.
Excellent land-line wall phone May 10, 2008

I bought this phone as a standard direct land-line phone, wall-mounted, that I could count on 24/7 regardless of any possible power failure that would knock out the more common base-dependent satellite phones that require electricity to work. Standard "Bell System" style phones like these operate with current supplied from the local Telco central office battery power and will give you a dial tone even in a local area power blackout. (Did you know that? I'm a Telco retiree (:>)).
Anyway, this is a great standard phone. The caller id display is contrast-only, and sometimes is hard to read without proper lighting. In other words, you can't see the display in the dark. Also, the phone utilizes two AA batteries for certain functions such as the blinking light to indicate a call that has come in. You need to press the review button to go through the caller id list to stop the blinking light else the batteries will drain. Very minor issue.
This is a perfect replacement / stand-in for the old Bell System phone you remember from before the breakup of Ma Bell. I recommend adding a 25 foot cord, available on Amazon as well as at your local Home Depot. I have used it for a couple of months now and have found that the handset is not susceptible to falling out of the wall-mounted cradle, although it does require paying attention to placing it in the cradle properly (as opposed to the usual teen offspring style of tossing it towards the cradle and expecting it to "magnetically hold"). Earpiece volume is no problem (and adjustable), and people on the other end hear me fine as well. My wife likes it, that should be the final straw. Like I say, this will work even when the power goes out. You should have at least one of these in your house, don't depend solely on the electricity-based phone units with satellite locations, all of which have to be plugged into an outlet. Even the base unit will be useless if your power is out. Landline phones like this will work from phone company-provided power.
