Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use this as a speaker phone for my 94 yo friend. Easy to use once I took handset away and taped the button down. Then a little highlighting around two most frequently used buttons.

Phones Like This Are A Dying Breed! This phone is a clear winner. Well built and simple to use in a complicated world. This phone has everything you need, an answering machine, big bright display, big buttons, and the speakerphone sounds excellent. Speed dial for a couple important often used numbers, mic mute, call log, and a directory for stored numbers. I tried a phone set-up with a base unit and the remote handsets and sent it back. Sound quality couldn't compare to this AT&T. Then you had to charge them, batteries wear out over time, etc. I am happy with this purchase and recommend this to anyone, young or old. This phone is rock solid and a price tag of $40. Glad I found it!

Old timers in need of a corded phone! Just what we needed. Easy to hook up and easy to use

Good desktop or wall-mounted phon with a cable. Has large buttons that make things easy to see. Easy and simple setup. Wished it didn’t require an AC power cable for when you want to mount it on the wall, but not a deal breaker.

Extremely good landline phone. Big display, buttons, volume boost, clear audio ( no more buzz on line)....and other features.

We replaced a home phone that is basically the same as this. It's fine. We like the big buttons. It has plenty of useful features.

The unit has a large, well lit display so I can quickly see the caller id from several feet away. Much better than most other units. Has many fancy features that are very easy to program. Every aspect of it is configurable. Comes with AC power adapter so I don't have to fool with batteries. Speaker phone works well too. Finally ATT did something right.

This telephone was what I wanted. It is a phone with a cord and with an answering machine, caller ID and not too many extras to get in the way and go wrong. It was adaptable as a wall phone, too.

This ATT corded phone covers all the bases. Corded, answering machie, caller ID. All the bells and whistles I need.

So far am pleased with this phone. All of the features work well, essentially easy to set up, answering machine still a learning curve to operate any but the basic operations which is enough for me as it is currently set-up. Nice to have the speakerphone option. It is geared to elderly population so big numbers are easy to read. My only caveat ( and I haven't lost my hearing) is that the ringer at even the lowest volume is loud enough to wake the dead. That is why I give this four stars. Because it is so loud I sometimes turn off the ringer so it would be nice if it a light flashed when a call is incoming. Overall satisfied- good deal for the money.

I absolutely love this corded answering phone. The speaker phone works great, love the big screen & large buttons. The only cons I have, I would have liked it to have a battery back-up so when the electricity goes out, it stays programmed with what I have. Plus, it would have been nice f there was a message left, the ans on button would flash. It was easy to record my own personalized outgoing message too. I would recommend buying this phone.

This was a great phone for my 88 year old father...the buttons are larger and it's fairly simple to use. He has hearing aids and so the easily found speaker button is a must. I'm very glad I read other reviews and was guided to this phone. There are LOTS of phone that are advertised as simple, and easy to read, and this one actually fulfills that promise.

The phone provided everything I wanted. The features of answering machine were standard and simple to setup and works great. The sound from the handset and speaker was clear and volume can be adjusted.

It is difficult to find a home phone that is wall mounted, with a large digital display, a digital answering machine, ease of use and looking good. The AT&T CL4940 has all these features plus more. Instructions for use have to be read carefully. Some instructions are a little confusing. For a reasonable price you can't go wrong with this phone.

We purchased this phone from BEST because we could not find a wall phone wtih all the things we needed. Example caller ID, answering machine and large dial pads. So far this is a great wall phone. The sound is great and the price was right. The only thing I wished it had was a short cord that you plug into the back of the phone and wall. We had to really tie the cord up to get it in back of the phone so it would not hang down. Other then that we really like it.

I purchased this phone for my elderly parents. The large numbers are easy to see. The speaker phone allows the user to adjust the volume so my mother who uses hearing aids was able to hear well. There is a pre recorded message on the answering machine. My parents were very happy with the phone and I would recommend it for older adults or those who have difficulty with vision or hearing.

We replaced an older phone that did not have caller ID, and we anted a all mount phone because it is in the kitchen. Fortunately, there is an electric outlet in the wall near the phone mount. It was relatively easy to set up all the options. We just wish it had some kind of red light signal to let us know when there is a message, so we can see it from a distance.

Easy to set up and use. Large numbers and keypad. Good sound quality.

I was looking for a home phone, but didn't want to spend much. I found it and bought it. I bought it because of the price. It has caller ID and even lights up. The only thing is that it doesn't announces the number ( has no voice). I couldn't had made a better choice. Awesome phone for the price.

I like the big numbers and easy to read display window, instruction were easy to follow and set up, Remember to select the # of rings to answer is 5 or less or it will not have sufficient time to activate the answering machine. I like that it has the option to hang on the wall. The cord is a bit short, and hand held is a bit hard to hold with your shoulder to ear. So I utilize the speaker phone most often. I would buy again. Good value for the money
