This is a real working phone! It looks great in my daughter's bedroom, which is mostly Hello Kitty! She loves that it is also a bank!

My husband and I recently got married and purchased a brand new home. I decided to decorate our kitchen in a 1950's bakery theme and I saw this phone and had to have it. I could not be happier. The folks at Crosley do a GREAT job making retro look new again! As a child of the 80's, I am in love with the 50's and I am SO glad Crosley helped me put that special touch into my kitchen!!!!

I have an old tin sign that says "Pay Phone--5 Cents". When I saw this phone, I had to get it. Love the pink. Very long cord, which is nice. My grandkids love to put coins in and actually hear the drop into the ching-ching, before making a call.

I am very pleased with this phone. It is very well made. The sound is good as well. It was easy to install and did not require a lot of assembly. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves a retro, funny look.

Thank you, this phone makes a hit with everyone who enters our scrapbook room. The kids can't believe it really works. It's a great replica and a highlight of the room.

There's a persistent buzz coming from the line that wasn't there with other phones. That makes this phone annoying to use, which is too bad because it's cool looking.

My preteen daughter saw this retro-style pay phone in the PBTeen catalog and immediately put it at the top of her Christmas wish list. PBTeen advertises it for $[...] plus approximately $[...] for shipping. I searched the 'net for similar items, and, of course, Amazon.com came through for me. The price here is outstanding, and the shipping charges are lower than PBTeen, as well. I have no idea if this is the EXACT brand that PBTeen sells, but they look identical, and that is all that mattered to me. I bought it and I am sure my daughter will be thrilled with her gift.

Bought this phone on semi-impulse; I'd seen it in PB's catalog, and liked it, so when Toys R Us included it as a doorbuster, I picked it up. It's 2 days later, and I'm taking it back to the store. If it wasn't so pretty, it would have gone back the minute I pulled it out of the box; it's basically a big hunk of cheap plastic, and I'm almost afraid I'll break it just dialing numbers. The handset itself seems nice and sturdy; if the rest of the phone felt the same, this would be a definite keeper. But, it doesn't, so back to the store it goes. I would gladly pay double the amount for a product of quality; this phone just is not a good value.
