Summary: What a piece of JUNK!
Review: For starters the phone does NOT fit a standard wall mount. I never received the setup program for the Caller ID system once the batteries were inserted and of course the service never worked. Don't waste your time or your money.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Inexpensive Phone That Works Relatively Well
Review: I purchased this phone as an inexpensive replacement for one that I used at school, and found that it functioned adequately. However, the only problem with this telephone is the battery cover. The screw that holds the cover in place makes the Caller ID feature a bit of a hassle because it is too small and of poor quality. Removing the battery cover meant nearly stripping the screw. Aside from this concern, the phone works well. Perhaps Amazon.com should consider testing their products for quality purposes rather forcing themselves and their customers into taking a gamble on questionable merchandise.

Summary: Adequate is a good description
Review: No problems with the phone but if you're buying it for the LCD display, make sure you use the phone in a well-lit place. I got it for bedside use ... but need a flashlight to see who's calling at night. I had guessed wrong that since the phone is powered it would have have enough light ... wrong assumption. Lesson learned for all LCD products: Check whether they are backlit before buying.

Will now search for a phone that has backlit LCD and a lighted keypad.

Summary: phone is ok, but no power-batteries not included
Review: Not only is it cheap, but it doesn't come with any batteries. Then if you want to get power to it without batteries, you have to buy a ac adapter that costs twice as much as the phone.

Summary: Adequate is a good description
Review: The phone is very inexpensive, and it shows in quality. Feels cheap, doesn't have some basic features (e.g. no memory dial), need to disconnect phone from wall to turn ringer on/off.

In less than 1 month the phone broke...still rang, but no dial tone. There is a 1 year warranty, but who's going to go through the hassle of sending in a [price] phone to get fixed? So I opened it up to see what happened. There was a wire that had come unsoldered, but there was also a ribbon cable that had been cut and repaired with tape during manufacturing. Obviously not a very thorough QA process that repairs a wire with tape, instead of replacing it.

You get what you pay for. Steer clear of this phone.
