This is the best!
The battery compartment design is better than the CL4940 design. Easier to load and to catch leaking batteries before they ruin the product. The plastic quality is superior to overseas knock offs. Extra-Large Tilt Display is the Best for viewing.

Terrific for the money!
Update: 5/15/20 – After using this phone for a year, I have raised my overall rating to 5 stars!! This is not a fancy phone, but it gets the job done well at a very low cost. Mount it correctly and you will have a great phone with lots of features, a display that you can easily read from 6 feet away, and sound quality that is excellent.All I really needed was a caller ID display on a phone in my shop. We get about 8 or 10 robo calls a day, and I just wanted to be able to screen calls without running to another room to see a caller ID. This phone is great for that. The display is clear and the quality of the audio is pretty good. I would have given the phone 5 stars, but the quality of the audio on the speaker phone is not good. Yes, you can tell what someone is saying, but the speakerphone audio quality is poor. If the quality was better, this would have been a 5-star review, but then this would likely have been a $60 to $100 phone. This phone was what I needed.Update 3/3/19: I forgot to mention that the phone mounts very well on a wall. It has the standard two pin spacing slots on the rear for a wall plate. If you look at the side view photos submitted by people that say the phone does not wall mount, you can see that they are using only one of the two available mounting slots. If the instructions are followed, there is no problem using a wall mount.

Does pretty much what it says.
I like the big numbers/words on the screen. Speakerphone feature seems to work good which is the main reason I bought it, I can have a friend on the phone listen to a video I’m playing on my laptop is why I bought it. Even though AT&T phones are made in China they seem to be fairly good qaulity as I have another AT&T speakerphone from about 4 years ago that is still working good.

Good looking phone.
Excellent phone and easy to hook up and use. I am dependent on a landline and have no cell service. This phone arrived quickly and saved the day!

It’s okay
It did not come with a telephone line cord only a cord to attach the hand set to the phone. The buttons are big obviously but feel cheap when pressing. Other than those two issues, it’s just fine, serves it’s purpose. I can hear great on it and see the info displayed on the screen good and the volume on the ringer goes from off to several strengths. It also has a volume for hearing the person on the other end of the line. Main complaint is it did not come with a land line phone cord for the wall to the phone.

No Dialtone at times
1. When you pick up the handset, the hook switch does not readily pop up and connect you to the phone line. It looks like the lever that the handset rests on is not properly placed on the chassis of the phone and rubs against it or stays down completely. You have to tap the phone chassis to dislodge the hook switch or use the hands free button to answer the call. I am not sure who I need to contact about this. Since I have several years working in the telephone industry and I am the only one that will use this set, I can put up with this little problem. If this problem appears on other sets, those operators may not be able to understand what is happening. Over time this problem will wear through and clear by itself.2. Sound quality feature. I live 5 miles out in the country. Usually a cheap phone will pick up all of the background hum that is induced into the telephone cables. This phone seems to keep all of that noise at bay.3. Volume control is ok, but I don’t need to turn it up really high to hear anything.4. Battery Life. Since I have just purchased and set this phone up, I am not sure how long the battery life will be.5. My main reason for purchasing this set was the large caller ID display. Since this is on my local phone number, I want to be able to see who is calling me before I answer the call.6. Reason for over all rating was lack of customer support.

This is an excellent land-line phone. I’ve been using the same model as a desk phone for over a year, and just purchased another to have as our kitchen wall phone. Both are working perfectly. This model is easy to use and doesn’t need to be plugged into an electrical plug since it’s battery powered. While the display is not backlit, the screen contrast is adjustable making it relatively easy to read in glare-free normal lighting.

Fue un regalo para mi abuela y cumple perfectamente con su función, las teclas grandes permiten que sea fácil para personas mayores utilizarlo, tiene una pantalla dónde se pueden registrar los numeros con nombre para saber quien llama o quién ha llamado. El único detalle es que necesita baterÃas (para que la pantalla funcione) que no vienen incluidas.

This seemed exactly the product I had been looking for: corded, big caller display and attractive. The first thing I discovered was that the caller display was so pale that I had difficulty reading it, even with glasses on. I was so frustrated that I phoned the US but the more they explained, the more I realised that the UK system was the difference. The next thing I noticed was that my callers needed to put me on speaking phone to hear me. And finally one day there was a loud buzzing noise and it packed up altogether. Very disappointed. Hopeless in the UK.
