Phone is unacceptable for wall mount because:

LCD is unreadable unless you bend down and shine a bright light on it. (I have good eyes by the way!)

Useless in dim light situations. No backlight on display. Font is tiny.
Stay away.

I only gave this phone one star because there is no "0 star" option. I bought this phone and within ONE WEEK it had deteriorated to the point where dialing required slow, hard pressing, and often still didn't register... sometimes it would pause/mute during the middle of a conversation and it randomly hung up on people. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND A PHONE THAT LASTS!?!??!

After setting up this phone I used it to make a few calls. I immediately noticed a lot of backround noise whenever I used it. The noise was there whether making or receiving calls. When I switched back to my old phone on the same jack, the noise was gone. I'll be returning this one.

I had a new Southwestern Bell phone and in less than two weeks, some of the numbers started rubbing off. I called the customer service line and their rep said that they don't know that some chemical wasn't put on them. (Which is a ridiculous and foolish thing to say, not to mention silly.) So much for their phone line. If you try contacting them by email, they won't contact you back. They are associated with Conair, and I will never purchase Southwestern Bell or Conair products ever again.

I bought this phone just to have as an emergency land line. It suits my needs. You can't read the display and I hate the flashing light that signals a call recieved but it is fine for a back up phone.
