 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 (:)).br /br /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.br /br /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.
 Worked for a few months only April 17, 2008

I bought this phone because I wanted something simple and corded. This phone worked great for the first few months, then the caller ID stopped working and now when I call someone or they call me they can barely hear me (although I hear them ok). The sound quality is very poor and I need to get this phone replaced. A waste of money!
Good Phone February 8, 2008

It is a good basic phone. Hard to find a good quality corded phone today, however this is defiantly one of them.
Excellent corded phone at very reasonable price February 6, 2008

I would recommend this corded phone. I purchased two of these phones so I would have a good reliable land-line phone with a caller ID and a hang-up button on the phone. Finding a good land-line phone is not the easiest thing to find nowadays. Additionally, it has quite a few other whistles and bells for the price. I hung one phone on a wall (it has been no problem falling off the hook) and the other phone was hooked-up on another floor and placed on an endtable. I did find it necessary to purchase longer curly cords especially for the wall phone.
