AT&T 210 Trimline Phone with Memory Dialing Black

Customer Reviews

Good Phone

2008-09-02
This is a good Old-fashioned phone that does not require an electrical outlet. Just plug it in the phone jack and it works. The phone is made of plastic and is light in weight so I'm not sure about the durability

Disappointed with this phone

This phone is okay for emergencies/short conversations. During the one call I made on it, there were repeated, annoying interruptions by
static that was audible to me and the other party.

Good, solid basic phone for the money

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.

It works well, but cannot be mounted on a wall

The receiver keeps falling out of the cradle of its own accord if you try to wall mount this phone.

Edit: See P. Kenny's comment and my response. It is very likely that I overlooked reversing the handset tab for wall-mounting.

A Decent Basic Phone At A very Decent Price

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.

Solid and dependable

Yes, you need a regular phone

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.

Works great for the data transmissions I needed for.

Great Price, works as necessary for me to transmit data from my scanner to the Homescan website.

back to basics

I purchased these phones to use durings power outages. They are simple but rugged and will probably last forever. A bargain at $12 each.

Great phone

The phone is a classic - I like the emergency buttons, lighted console, and the programmable feature for instant dialing.
