Customer Reviews
Good phone but annoying blinking light 
2008-07-03
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.

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 2008-05-10
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.
Worked for a few months only 
2008-04-17
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!

Excellent corded phone at very reasonable price 2008-02-06
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.
Good phone, but deceptive pictures 
2007-11-06
It is nice to have a corded phone with caller-id built in. But the caller-id screen is not lighted or backlit. The picture clearly shows it is, but it is not and this is very irritating. You cannot see the caller-id unless you have another light on. For the price though it is still a pretty good deal. Do a search for 'bedroom phone' and you will see a few that are backlit/lighted, but they are quite a bit more expensive.
The Best corded phone 2007-10-20
I have this corded phone by my bed. This is the only corded one we have as the rest are cordless. This is wonderful.
glad this isn't my main phone 2007-10-16
what can i say? i am home sick so decided to order my "in case of emergencies land line" online. the phone is slim and stays out of the way, and for all intensive purposes works...somewhat. you have to play with the cords so there isn't a constant static. whomever calls you can hear you just fine, however, you will endure sporatic static on your end. the caller id works just fine, and like most individual units, blinks when you have a new call. the ease of use for setup and everyday function make this phone user friendly.
