    We live on an island that can easily be cut off from the world by weather. We wanted a landline phone, and this model was affordable. It's a sleek design for a corded phone. Works well & could be a lifesaver someday.

    Simple but effective, works as intended. A rarity in today’s modern phone world, yet a solution for certain people who still relay on foolproof communication.

    DOES THE JOB

    I needed a landline corded phone for a second line into the house and since there are not a lot of options out there these days I purchased this one from the store. It does the job it needs to do. I like that the caller ID is on the backside which shows when it's in the cradle (my old "princess" phone had no idea from caller ID, haha). It's a necessity to have this type of phone when there is an extended power outage, as I have learned the hard way over the past few years. I think the caller ID features may not work when the power is out but the phone connection should be good (I hope).

    This is a good basic, inexpensive corded phone with caller ID. However, unlike earlier models, it does not flash for incoming calls, which was helpful since the phone is in a bedroom with the ringer frequently turned off. Also, someone decided to "improve" the styling and make it slanted. Unfortunately, this also makes it top heavy and the base falls over when you lift the receiver. It would have been nice if the quality control people had noticed that defect in design before putting it into production.

    I just needed a simple corded phone for reliability - cordless phones might not work in a power outage. This one fits the bill just fine, sound quality is fine and it has the display for Caller ID. It does require 4 AA batteries to power the LCD display so pick some up when you buy the phone. Build quality is good but not great, but satisfactory given the low price. I wish the base cradle were heavier and the cord a little longer, but overall a good purchase.

    Phone is compact and fits nicely on my desk. Easy to operate. Works well. Under $20 was well within my budget for a caller id compact phone. Cannot ask for anything more. Plus the process to order and pickup in store option at Best Buy was a breeze. Thank you Best Buy!

    This is a corded standard no frills phone. Good for the extra phone of power outages where the phone line have power but the electricity is off. Many times in an outage the face wireless phones will not work. maybe not even the base station. A simple phone like this one can be used because the phone service is separately powered. The is also good for a rarely use out out let that may need a phone or is in an area where there is a plug and no wireless reach.

    Bought it for an emergency landline phone. Works great. It needs batteries for the additional functions, but works as a basic phone without batteries.

    We needed a corded phone with a screen to indicate caller ID. Since we had a good digital device to record missed-call messages, we did not want to pay extra to duplicate that feature. This AT&T Trimline Phone hit the spot. Its' only shortcoming is the lack of back lighting for the LCD screen, making it difficult to read caller ID information under low-light conditions.

    Reliable Land-line Phone with Caller ID

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Very few full-featured land-line phones remain on the market. This is one of the better ones, with good reliability. Sound quality is fine. Display is easily readable, but is not backlit. The previous AT&T model 265 Trimline phone with Caller ID / Call Waiting was more robust than this phone, but unfortunately, it is no longer available.

    I got this phone after spending countless dollars on cheap dollar store phones. The price was within my budget and so far no problems. I did have to change the cord for a longer extention from the wall outlet. The sound is clear and the ringer is good and loud. Good landline phone. I did not give 5 stars because no lightup display for incoming calls or keypad, so if no light can not see to dial in the dark.

    My great-grandfather was in need of a new landline phone, after giviing him an iPad and trying to have him try to use that for people to call him, that did not work. His old line stopped ringing, this one ia a great cheap alternative. The only issue he has with it is that you are not able to change the ring tine which he does not like. The ring is a high pitched chirping noise which he does not like.

    As I personally feel more secure giving credit card information over a corded landline rather than cordless phone, e.g., ordering from a catalog, the phone I purchased was an exact replacement of the one mounted vertically on the wall. The previous one gave me 7 plus years of service so I expect it's replacement will likely be just as reliable. Very easy to install.
