Amazon.com Product Description

This simple, practical phone uses AT&T's classic Trimline design to fit snugly into small spaces, yet it contains the modern convenience and sturdiness you expect from AT&T. With subscription to local service, you'll be able to use the 99-station caller ID history to instantly return calls; each incoming call automatically receives a time/date stamp for easy organization.

A lighted keypad and a one-touch redial button make returning calls a snap, while the 13-station speed dial memory keeps your most frequently dialed numbers easily at hand. The slim case and white color can match nearly any decor, and the phone arrives ready for either your desktop or wall. The 260 is hearing aid compatible and includes a one-year warranty, covering parts and service.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good little corded phone, October 21, 2005

This review is from: AT&T 260 Trimline Phone with Caller ID, White (Office Product)

Since there is now relatively few choices for a good corded phone (esp. with caller ID), this phone is tops. This phone and all other AT&T phones corded or cordless, exhibit slight feedback when talking loud or when hanging up. But no other phone out there seems to be nearly as durable. Given the other choices, this is the one to get.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Phone, April 12, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: AT&T 260 Trimline Phone with Caller ID, White (Office Product)

I bought this phone for my elderly father last October. The caller ID screen is larger than alot of cordless phone CIDs and you can adjust the contrast by pushing the "options" button, and choosing between 1-4 in "contrast." 4 is the darkest contrast so that is what we set my father's phone on. The phone is very attractive, and can be either wall mounted or sit on a desk. There is a piece on the bottom of the phone you adjust for either wall or desk placement.

Now for the negatives. My father has trouble hearing and he had trouble hearing on this phone at times. After I bought him this phone, I told him I had 30 days to return it, so please check it out to see if he could hear with it. Well, he used it, but I never heard a negative word about it until it was too late to return it. He is now using an old phone of mine that has volume you can turn up very loud and he's happy.

Personally, I think this is a very good phone. The only negative I noticed is a light background buzzing noise when you make a call on it. If you need a corded phone with a nice size caller ID screen with big letters and numbers, this is a good phone. It would make a good back-up for someone who prefers cordless phones, but needs a corded phone for those times when electricity is off.

I bought this phone for emergencies when the electricity is off and all my wireless phones will not function. This is a direct to phone line hook-up and thjerefore not dependent on electric power. It works well. Every house should have at least one phone that is not dependent on the electric company for operation.
