Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the same affordable corded phone that AT&T has made for decades. I love having it as my land-line backup phone--no electrical outlet required and a backlit keypad, among other features. It's attractive, compact and reliable, a great phone for the price!

Very good phone once it is put together and installed

We bought this phone to remove all cordless devices in the house to help with less frequency waves floating through the house. Cordless home phones are believed to have higher SAR ratings than cells. Regardless its a good basic phone like back in the days.

Awesome corded trimline. Light weight. Has the ability to turn the ringer off. Need a corded phone for power outages. It's perfect!

I do not like talking on cell phones for long conversations. I prefer to have well-functioning landlines in the house. My quest has been increasingly unsuccessful; I can't buy what's not being made. The two Trimline Phones I bought, through Best Buy, are so-so and barely functional, respectively. Best Buy says it's my problem, as I "went outside" the 15-day return window. I can "complain to AT&T" if I don't "like" the tinny-sounding phone. I am sure THAT will go real far; AT&T will extract a large shipping fee for me to return its piece of junk in order that it can then send me an identical specimen. Probably in another decade, there will be few people left who remember or care what it was like to have good-quality, home-based landline conversations. All private interactions are now supposed to take place in public, on cells. Whether the voice quality of those calls is abysmal or not doesn't compute in the minds of the vendors or the users. The phone has become an instrument of status vs. communication: "I am so important; look, people are calling me! I have an endless audience for the minutiae of my life, which surely must be enthralling to all within captive-audience radius." The shoddy landline phones may as well stand as gravemarkers to a time when people actually cared about hearing each other and being heard, not just going through self-aggrandizing charades they call "conversation."

This trimline corded telephone is perfect to use as a wall phone or to sit on a table. Just remember, to hang it on your wall, you must first remove the small tab under the directory card and then turn it upside down. The directions for the handset tab are in the booklet that comes with the phone. This secures the headset on the base of the phone when it hangs on the wall. The sound is good, but to use it as a wall phone, I had to purchase a longer coiled cord in order to walk around my kitchen or sit at the table.

I purchased this phone because the digital phones need power in order to work. I have digital cordless phones for convenience but batteries never last long enough. I rarely use my landline except for Internet connection but I keep the landline for a back up. Easy for 911 calls from residence and if the power goes out... my landline is still operational!!! I have an older home which already had the wall mount so it was as simple as opening the box and putting up the phone. But this phone can be used as a desktop phone too. Affordable price makes this a no brainer to have as an option.

Good to have an old school wired phone in the house in case the power goes out. This was inexpensive, decent sound quality and you can't beat the price.

Call it old fashioned, but needed an inexpensive phone for an older relative that just doesn't get cell phones. Needed to add a second phone in the bedroom and they just didn't want the cordless or anything like that. This was just what they were looking for. They are very happy with it and would recommend.

The land line phone is perfect Light weight Easy set up Just plug in and it works well Bought at a good price Im happy with my purchase

This is a good deal.Nice phone,but a little cheaply made.It holds,stands up,but it is made from cheap plastic.Its a good phone though.

We wanted a phone that was not dependent using wifi.

clear line quality to pair with answering system, stable base unit.

Purchased two plain no frills landline phones for use when power is out and cell towers are either not available or overloaded. Have learned through past experiences that a good old hardwired phone is the best, most reliable thing to have. These phones do the trick in a pinch, without a lot of extra features.

Our phone from 1983 finally broke, so we were happy to find this old style phone available at a great price. This phone is great during power outages because it doesn't need electricity to function, unlike our cordless land line phones.

I had a very old version of this ATT phone where the ringer stopped working. This replacement was EXCELLENT for the amount paid. Ringer and voice are clear. Cord length (stretches to about 5ft) is short but not a problem where I'm using the phone. If you need a longer cord that will increase the cost of the purchase by about 50%.

Great replacement for a 30 year old wall mount landline phone.

The quality is excellent. You can turn off the ringer although it said you couldn't. You might want to update that. I use it as a table phone in the bedroom.

Great basic telephone. I had the same model for many, many years until I thought it stopped working, recently, so I was so happy to find the same one on Best Buy's site, in a slightly variation in color, and it was on sale to boot! Regular price, is a little high, for what it is, but definitely worth getting if you need a landline and can catch it on sale for a good price!

Bought this for in-law who are in their 80’s. it’s a very basic home, but works great. They love it!
