210 Basic Trimline Corded Phone, No AC Power Required, Wall-Mountable, White

For the price, which included Free SuperSaver Shipping, one would have a hard time finding a better deal. It is a solid little phone (did not quite expect the "heft" to it that it has), appears to be well-put-together, rings fine and has a good sound quality (not tinny or with interference as one might expect for a phone for this price ~ I've had "cheap" phones before and "sound quality" is just not something I would expect to find at this price ~ under $13). The white color and sleek modern styling go well with our post-modern decor. We needed an inexpensive corded phone with no added features (the 13-Number Memoy feature is something we will never use) as we live in an area which occasionally experiences untility outages due to severe weather. The phone service usually stays intact during these periods, however anything requiring electric is dead until the power is restored. Cell phone coverage here is also very sporadic and hard to come by, so a corded phone was essential to our well-being. This phone fit the bill perfectly for our needs. The only thing I didn't particularly care for was that it comes with a "favorite phone numbers" paper label stuck on the base (under the handset). There is no plastic covering for this and I can see where it will eventually get "dirty-looking" or unsightly with regular cleaning. I would have preferred receiving the label separately as something I had the option (or not) of placing there myself. That is no big deal and did not affect my overall rating as I will just remove it eventually (carefully, as the base cannot be immersed, however have found the blue D**n dishwashing liquid on a coarse cloth is perfect for removing sticky substances such as labels, etc.). I suppose if someone wished to use this label to write their "favorite numbers" on, they could place transparent packing tape over it so it would not get dirty and/or wear with regular cleaning. But again, for the money, even this inveterate bargain-hunter could not find a better deal. I must say I am a little amazed at some of the reviews on here which portray a sort of "shock" that this is made in China. It is very hard to find products NOT made there these days and current and past administrations are to blame for this ~ NOT Amazon (although I do wish Amazon would place the Country of Origin on ALL of their product descriptions). I would have been "shocked" if it WASN'T made in China or some other overseas location ~ although my family does try to search out American-made products (however they are increasingly harder to find). Amazon itself, as they have been with every order I have placed with them, was wonderful and had it on my doorstep within four days of ordering (along with two other items in the order). It was packed well in its own box and packed by Amazon Fulfillment quite adequately. I love sitting at home in my pajamas searching for great deals on Amazon and not having to run from store to store looking (and not having the benefit also of others' reviews) and then having my chosen item(s) on my doorstep within a few days. That benefit alone is, well, ------> Price-less!

I use this as a personal phone line in my office; it looks nice, has an adjustable ringer and is AT&T quality!

4.5, I like it. I love the color, and it is so cute! Using as receiver for Cell Phone Service with CELL2JACK ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089984QRT?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title ), I believe it is reliable in receiving and making calls. Based on other reviews, I was worried that the ringer would be too loud, but it is definitely NOT if you turn it to the low setting. Have had no problems with button responsiveness. The buttons are what I (a twenty-something) would consider "normal size," i.e. not huge/with large text (I just didn't want to feel like I was using a Phone For Seniors lol). The base is very light so it is not particularly stable, I used command strips to anchor it down--for the price this is totally negligible. I'm not sure if it is this phone or the CELL2JACK that causes this, but, the incoming sound is low and there is a constant buzzy hum. (Or is that just how a PHONE actually is? I've only ever used Cell Phones) In all, a great starter piece at very least in my journey towards reduced-tech. I got it to help reduce my in-home smartphone usage and I would recommend to someone seeking to do the same.

It has been a LONG time since I had a landline. We still pay for a landline (it is part of a TV/internet/phone bundle), but we disconnected the phone a long time ago because of telemarketing calls. The phones that we used to have were those cordless rechargerable and I could not find the base, so I had to get new landlines because we realized that if we had an emergency and had to call 911, we needed a fast way to call that did not involve running around the house trying to find a cell phone. So I went to Amazon and found old faithful AT&T trimline. They arrive quickly. These are lightweight plastic, but functional. I doubt we will ever use them, but they worked. One hangs on the wall in our laundry room, and the other sits on the desk next to our bed. There is a slider to control the ringer volume. I put it on the lowest setting, which I hope is OFF. So far, I haven't heard it ring, which means either it really is OFF for the sound or telemarketers aren't calling me. Either way, this is exactly what we needed for a great price. AT&T for the win!

Needed a replacement landline phone. PERFECT. Price was great. This was just what I wanted so I ordered 2

Didn't ask for much out of this phone. Just needed a phone that can be attached to a wall phone plate and has a ringer, earpiece, mouthpiece and a "9" button - the entire intention was to be the phone that rings when someone comes to the building door, enters our unit number, it calls this phone, it rings, I answer it, confirm who is there and press 9 to open the door. Unfortunately, like seemingly everything these days, somewhere along the line, this classic, once-reliable phone received the typical corporate corner cutting in the quality department. It seemed fine at first, but after only a couple uses (literally!), the button under the earpiece that is supposed to hang up the line broke... So the phone was permanently "off hook." As I had already discarded the box, I did not ask Amazon for a refund (It was under $10 anyhow, so I figured I would chalk it up to learning and never buy anything with "AT&T" imprinted on it, providing services for, etc. - not a difficult move to make as my cumulative experiences with AT&T since the late 1980s have been entirely negative). So, I tossed this piece of junk in the bin and did some research on a better phone - I knew that new businesses such as hotels and airports, etc. still get those solid, well made industrial quality phones that the phone company used to issue when someone subscribed to a telephone line back in the old days before the AT&T breakup in 1984, but where were they getting them I wondered? Well, it turns out, if you only need one, you can get not one, but one of a few different models from Amazon. I selected the Cetis Scitec 2554E Red one because it was red and as it was going in the kitchen, where there are a lot of red appliances (I like Red, what can I say?), it seemed to match my needs. I figured that if I did not like the quality, I would return it and get another model from one of the other manufacturers. All I wanted was a phone built like a tank like they were in the old days... To be honest, The Scitec phone is not so much a tank as it is a Jeep. I say that as the hook is a piece of acrylic or some other rather durable plastic, not the heavy metal hook of yesteryear. It is also lighter and thus less durable than those old phone that the Bell Company hung in my Mom's kitchen in the 1970s. Those old phones back then were occasionally featured in film and TV for the useful purpose of bludgeoning to death someone who oh so rightly deserverd it before Columbo arrived in the morning with his "oh, just one more thing" and... That having bean said, if the current incarnation of the 210 phone were used to whack someone in the head, all that person would get is a very cross face as the attacker stands there with a sheepish grin and a a bunch of cheap broken plastic in their hand! Speaking of broken plastic... When I tossed the thing in the bin, the handset split in half and bits came flying out. I did not throw it in there with any force... I simply tossed it... what a piece of crap!

Ringer off toggle was broken. Otherwise easy to use and works fine without batteries or need for AC power. Can use during electrical outages for emergencies. Buttons light up despite no AC power which is a positive. Recommend checking that all functions work before throwing out the packaging.

very good in spare room.

Arrivato prima del previsto. Negozio serio. Telefono semplice nel funzionamento. Qualità della voce eccellente.

J’étais sceptique par rapport au prix et à la conception de cet appareil tout en plastique très léger. Mais après l’avoir installé, j’ai été agréablement surprise de constater qu’il avait toutes les qualités d’un appareil de grande marque. La qualité du son est parfaite, mais le récepteur n’étant pas isolé, tous les bruits extérieurs perturbent l’acoustique de sorte qu’il est impossible de bien comprendre les propos de l’appelant. Juste un petit bémol, le plastique qui rend l’appareil relativement fragile aux chocs et qui pourrait peut-être s’abîmer s’il tombe accidentellement par terre. Compte tenu du prix, c’est un bon achat mais à n’utiliser que dans une pièce silencieuse.

Good size buttons and pleasant ring. The cord is quite short but I purchased a longer cord from a dollar store. Phone works very well.

A very handy landline phone. Doing job as expected. Great quality and value for money.

O telefone em geral é bonito, tem um design elegante, robusto. Mas, tem um porém, a campainha dele é baixo, mesmo no volume alto, para quem mora numa residência grande, não vale a pena.
