Under features description it states, "You can select loudness of each ringer." I did not find that to be true. On the four phones that I received there is a single on-off switch for ringer control not the individaul volume control as indicated under the features description. I will be retruning the phones. If I didn't need the individual volume control the phones would be satisfactory and a good value for the low price.

Very cheaply built phone. Labels fell of, the hook that comes up to answer the call would get eitherstuck in the down position or in cold weather wouldn't come up at all. They all went to Goodwill

This is an inexpensive phone. We tried THREE of these same phones over a 2 month period and finally had to give up on it. Once we hooked it up we heard music from a radio station whenever we picked up the handle, even during conversations. (None of our other phones had this problem). We tried 2 different "filters" made to handle this extraneous noise, but they didn't work either. We had Verizon come out, hook up yet another filter which also didn't work, but the Verizon technician said it was the construction of the phone that acted as a receiver for the radio signal- something about where the diodes were placed. Not sure if that is so, but that is what he said. Had to completely give up on this phone. Too bad as we wanted a 2 line phone that would work during loss of power.

Its look is classic rather than modern. It is very dependable and user-friendly, though. It is an inexpensive way to have a two line phone. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

I do not have this model but after having my old phone for 40 years I bought a NWB phone due to remodeling. It lasted 5 months. You cannot get through on their help line and they do not answer their e-amil. Buy a NWB phone at your own risk.
