I purchased and returned the Northwestern Bell 2-Line Corded Speaker Phone. Color was stated to be white but is gray-beige. Speakerphone sound quality is poor except at low (useless) volume levels. Digit display not stated as having caller-ID, nevertheless is disappointing. Also uses 6 batteries - very wasteful. Must switch from one line to another (not automatic) so one could just buy a phone-line switch and use a higher quality, cheaper, caller-ID ready, smaller footprint phone. Better yet, a corded 2-line feature rich phone with a small footprint (remember the Princess phones of yesteryear?) would be a welcome product that seems absent now-a-days.

Seems like a fine phone, except how can you design a speakerphone with no mute? Useless for working at home in long meetings!!!!!

I bought 2 of these phones and 1 has a short in it. I tried to return it per the vendor's instructions, which was to call the manufacturer with no success. I called several times and was instructed to leave a voice mail, which was never returned. I finally called Amazon who had to intercede to get my refund. The second phone does seem to be working properly at least.

Features were fine for what it was used for. Got it as a backup phone for my mother when the power is out which is often. Installed in the laundry it worked fine the first year but was literally only used a half dozen times as the house is vacant 6 months a year. 2nd. year it started giving a little static when used but we thought it was bad phone lines. It finally crashed our whole phone system because of the feedback which was fixed immediately after this unit was unplugged. Can't recommend this phone.

This phone is more than what I expected even though its used. I got what I needed and that is a phone . The phone has some downfalls like the volume is to low but you can fix that and the annoying sound that the phone makes while you are dialing is the main problem but at least it works . Most people have such high expectations on a used product expecting it to be like new if you are one of those people who isnt looking for anything technical than this is a phone for you. Im satisfied because it works so Im ok with this item so far.
