4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Phone, May 30, 2009

By	J. Story (Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this phone for my elderly mother, she likes it very well, the ringer is loud enough for her to hear it ring, and the handset volume is also loud enough for her to hear the conversation.
This is the first phone in a long time she could really hear!

4.0 out of 5 stars Basic and Essential Phone, July 13, 2009

By	Chris L "mamalujo2003" (New York) - See all my reviews

A corded telephone is a necessity for anyone who has home phone service not controlled by a modem or other electrical means. This phone is simple and as basic as it comes, and a great buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good phone, May 18, 2009

By	John B (LA, CA, US) - See all my reviews

This phone is simple to set up, and simple to use, because it's got no bells and whistles.

The only things that make me give it 4 stars are

1 - the dents where you place the headset are a bit shallow and a bit tight.

If they had been deeper and looser, it would make it a lot easier to hang up the phone. Since the dents are shallow and tight, you have to take care to place the headset correctly. An extra quarter inch gap between the sides of the headset and the walls of the dents would've made it so one can hang up without thinking about it.

2 - The cord is short.

I have a computer on my desk, and since I spend much more time on the computer than the phone, the phone goes on an adjacent table. I had to keep the cord from my old phone, as the cord that comes with this phone doesn't go out that far. Also, the phone is light (which is a good thing, mind you), so when the cord gets stretched, the phone starts getting pulled off the table. A cord that's a foot or two longer would've been great.

I do like how the buttons have a bit of gap between them. It looks a lot nicer than a scrunched-up keypad where the numbers are all right next to each other with no gap.

Overall, a nice phone.
