Remember phones you can't take for a walk?

it's a good, cheap phone. The last one worked for years and years.

Great landline phone...EASY TO USE AND SEE SCREEN!

If you need a landline this is a great one. Simple to use, easy to read screen, and has worked great.

Does what I need but has some quirks

This phone had everything I needed feature wise, which not all phones sold up here do.What I needed was:- caller ID- speakerphone- ability to mount on a wall- no AC/DC power required- detachable cord from handset to phone so I could replace it with a longer one- ability to adjust ringer volume including being able to completely turn the ringer offExtra comments:---------------------Some people have complained in reviews that the speaker phone doesn't work or is too quiet to hear. Mine works fine but I put brand new batteries in it. Maybe that was there problem (or AT&T jsut has bad quality control on these and some are defective).I can't recall if I read this in reviews of this phone or some others I looked at up here, but I can switch back & forth to & from the speakerphone and the handset if I need to without cutting off the call. To my surprise this was a complaint I read about happening (which would be terrible design). Again I don't remember if that was written for this phone or one of the other models, I read tons of reviews b4 I settled on buying this one.The wallmount works fine. Is totally stable on my wall, attached perfectly to the 2 standard screws already part of my wall jack, using the wall mount attachment which was in the box. You do then need to take out, reverse, then reinsert the tiny handset cradle piece thing that is attached to the base unit so that it mates properly with the phone hanging vertically. My old phone had the same thing so I knew to do that. Otherwise the handset will just fall to the floor after hanging it up.The complaints about the display (or the phone itself) not being backlit are true but none of my other phones do that so I am used to it. Being able to tilt the display to multiple angles helped me to find the best way to position the screen so that glare/reflection from lights don't affect my ability to see the display. The phone does have a thing that lights up when it rings that I find handy for when I have the ringer volume completely off though.A couple weird quirks:---------------------------I had to turn the volume down using the arrows on the base unit, because by default it was causing annoying buzzing and reverb when I spoke, only audible on my end.This has worthless settings for "HOME AREA CODE" and multiple ones for "LOCAL AREA CODE". I am not even sure what those are for but I made the mistake of putting in my area code in for the HOME and one of the LOCAL #s, which resulted in screwing things up as far as being able to call someone back in the call log. If someone called me from within my area code the phone then drops the area code from the return call which means it will NOT go through. Used to be about 20 years ago in this metropolitan area there were was only one area code but now there are many and you HAVE to include that as part of whatever # you dial, even if calling from within the same area code. So I had to delete what I entered for both of those but cannot figure out HOW to do that! Instead I had to enter a fake area code (000) for both. So what happens now is that for EVERY call I make using the function to return a call from the call log it adds a "1" for long distance to the number - even for those which do not require using the long distance/1 function. This would have been a big PITA a few years ago when doing so even for local calls would have been charged as a higher long distance rate, but thankfully now since my service is VOIP rather than analog all calls are charged the same. Still it is an annoyance, and I guess it is something leftover from technology dating back like 20 years (or maybe there are still places in the US which do not require adding an area code when calling locally, so this would be useful in those cases?).I've only had the phone about 2 months so can't comment on how long it lasts. Fingers crossed will be at least 10 years. My previous phone lasted almost 30 years and it cost only about $9 with the same features (and no quirks), but it started going crazy (changing to pulse dial instead of touchtone, display blanking out, stuff like that, despite multiple battery changes).

It's what I wanted.

So far it's just what I needed. No complaints. I wish the screen would light up when I lift the receiver.But I keep a small flashlight near it. I don't like bright light over my computer, just a small one.

Old school phone that still earns its place on my desk!

Solid old-school phone that still works well on a desk or table where you need a speaker phone and do not want to carry or hold a handset from a "modern" unit. There are many little bugs or glitches with it - e.g. the display shows both dark print and a shadow of past entries. It also wipes out area codes if you set your local or home area code via set up. The set up menu itself is not intuitive - and it uses techniques that were typical in the 00s. However, again, I like it much better than up to date landline styles and do recommend it to folks who like old school items and methods.

Current production of this phone has a generic problem

I have had one of these for several years and it works fine. I recently bought another for a different room in my home and discovered that its internal clock function loses time, many minutes per day. Figuring that it was a defect in my new purchase, I returned the phone, requesting a replacement. The replacement behaved the same way! Then, I saw what was happening: With each incoming call, the phone's clock display would lose a minute. The more calls that came in, the more it would lose. This is clearly a design defect. Doesn't the factory test their embedded firmware changes before they release them to the field? My older copy of this phone works fine. Don't buy this phone until the factory corrects this design problem. Too bad that there's no way to know when that will occur. I am returning the replacement for my recent purchase and will choose an alternative phone. C'mon AT&T, you can do better than this. Update: I purchased a similar phone, an RCA model 1113. The RCA phone has a built-in clock function, but no means for the user to set the date/time. With incoming calls, the RCA sets its date/time with data sent as part of the incoming call's caller ID information - there's no user interaction with this. Apparently, my local provider (Cox, via VoIP) has their network clock mis-adjusted, 11 minutes slow, as displayed on the RCA phone. It could be (this is speculation) that the AT&T phones were incrementally adjusting themselves to this incorrect network clock reference. I didn't keep my recent AT&T phones (original and replacement) long enough to determine whether they would cease to lose time once they aligned themselves with this incorrect network reference, but it could very well be the case. If new phones use this mechanism, their instructions should include a description of this process, and a disclaimer that if the network clock is wrong, the phone will display the incorrect time. This feature is apparently supposed to be clever, but there can be unintended consequences.
