Description:
If you find yourself intimidated by too many functions on the latest high-tech telephones, or you just need something basic, check out the Lucent AT&T 140. It offers a straightforward design, sturdy construction, and an easy-to-read keypad.Setting up the AT&T 140 was as easy as using the phone itself. We simply plugged the line cord into the wall jack and the phone was ready to go. Two cords are included so you can easily convert from desktop to wall mounting. The handset is sleek and sturdy. The base contains only 14 buttons, including 10 numbers, star, pound, flash, and redial. The redial memory can accept numbers up to 16 digits long. The number stored in redial can be erased by lifting the handset and pressing any digit. If you subscribe to call waiting, the flash button provides a convenient way to access your incoming call. The large white figures on the buttons are easy to read against the black background. Despite its simplicity, there are a few useful adjustments you can make on the 140. Receiver and ringer switches are located on the side of the phone and can be set to low or high. The receiver switch lets you select the volume of the caller's voice. The ringer emits a pleasant digital sound at either setting. A switch on the bottom of the phone allows you to choose between tone and pulse. Other features include hearing aid compatibility. In our tests of the 140, we found the voice quality to be clear, and we did not detect any background interference. The large buttons were comfortable to the touch. Overall, we appreciated the simplicity of the Lucent AT&T 140 and recommend it to anyone looking for a good-quality basic phone. --Emily Bakko Pros: - Sturdy construction
