Summary: I was fooled
Review: I purchased this phone for the Caller ID feature, it seemed a good buy for the price and compact. But after only one week, I pick up the phone to dial and the buttons go wacko, blinking, and hanging up any calls I may be lucky to get through! I was very disappointed b/c of the usually reliable brand name. I will definitely NOT keep this one or recommend it!

Summary: Not Good
Review: I purchased three of these phones when I added caller ID to my service. I was disappointed when I started to notice a clicking/humming sound on all three phones. I moved phones around
to no avail. My 1 Radio Shack and GE phone were fine. I took the phones to a friends house, plugged them in and got the same problem. I contacted the manufaturer, who of course, told me they had no complaints? Additionally, the caller ID box is too small and angled in the wrong place. You need to mount the phone about 7 feet up in order to see the screen. The only thing I liked about it was the back-lit dial and event though it had alot of humming/clicking the volume was good. I returned all 3 phones, which I purchased at 3 different locations over a 2 week period. All the lot numbers were different, so I don't suspect it was a batch problem. Back to the drawing board on this one SW!!! Now I have to find a phone that works better. The AT&T 240 is suppose to be a better buy, we shall see :)

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I was very disappointed in this phone because it only lasted 4 months before it started making loud noises during conversations. I was surprised that Southwestern Bell would tolerate such defects in their workmanship.

Summary: Fair Phone for the price
Review: My main complaint is there is NO call waiting caller id (If I would have known that I wouldn't have purchased it)... Just the standard caller id is included with this slim white phone. The lcd display is alittle small so you need to squint to see whos calling you. Good little phone to have next to the computer though.

Summary: Not recommended
Review: Pro: Cheap ... it works ... so far.
Con: Sound quality is bad, noisy, and low (turning it
higher amplifies everything: noise, echos, etc).
When you talk into the mouth piece you
hear your own voice in the ear piece. So if
you and the other end speak at the same time,
you can hardly hear them (lot of "sorry what?").
None of my existing phones does this.
This thing is cheap, feels cheap, Smells cheap
(bad plastic smell). LCD is not backlight, and is
hard to read. Batteries Not included (3AA).

*Sigh* hopefully someday China will make better products.

Summary: it works
Review: The price is reasonable and it works. I got this becauses my old phone got rained on. I live in a college dorm - I hardly ever use the phone except to order food. It works fine for that; I'm happy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Phone
Review: This is a good phone, especially for the low price. The caller ID works great and the keypad lights up and has a wide variety of functional buttons including a large flash button for those of us with larger digits; no more mashing the keypad. Buy this phone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: very good value
Review: This telephone has been a delight in the three months that I have owned it. It sits on my computer desk, alerts me to the identity of my incoming calls, takes up a minimum of space and has proven faultless in its operation and setup. For the price it was a steal.
