Reviews around wall (4.10 of 5)

  • Cheap and exactly what I wanted, as I like to have a land line phone in every bedroom.
  • The display doesn't glow as it appears to in the photo, but has dark numbers/letters on a lighter background
  • There is a handy, reversible, attachment on the back which you can remove to accomodate sturdy wall mounting, and under this attachment is the tail of the cord, which you can uplug like any other standard phone cord.
  • Of course, there is a chance I got a bad one, but nonetheless, I just don't have the time to return it to the store, and I probably threw out the receipt anyway, thinking I could trust an AT&T product.
  • Nice wall phone.bit would be better if it included an answering machine and if the buttons lighted up in the dark.

Reviews around light (3.83 of 5)

  • It works okay, but the display is black and white and not high-lighted so a little difficult to read the caller's number.
  • I purchased this phone to replace my AT&T CL2940, which died in less than a year from the date of purchase.
  • It also has a helpful little light that blinks when it or any other phone on the same line is in use.
  • The LCD window is difficult to read unless you are in bright light.
  • This is more than annoying. - Biggest problem I have is that I cannot see the display unless I'm standing right over the phone with a good light on.

Reviews around phone hang (1.38 of 5)

Reviews around piece (1.00 of 5)

  • Time to get out the sledge hammer, this will be fun and way more worth the purchase price that that cheap piece of plastic!!!
  • Works well, only problem is the separate piece under the phone is flimsy
  • Surely not worth keeping even for emergency use only which is why I bought it as I would NEVER trust this piece of crap.

Reviews around screech (1.00 of 5)

  • This absurd phone was manufactured such that the speaker and microphone "interact" when you hang the phone up, and it makes a loud-pitched screech which you can hear while hanging it up
  • Works fine , except for the annoying screech when you disconnect
  • The party you were speaking to will hear a loud screech IN THEIR EAR, if they hadn't removed their phone from their ear at the same time you hung up
  • When you have the sound volume on high and hang up, you get a very loud screech
