It works, & I only need it because we lose power often

Looked all over and no other phones fit the bill - WAY too large and bulky, cordless (won't work if power is out), much more expensive, etc.

I like having a corded phone because it will still work if power goes out and my cordless phone doesn't work.

batteries] and you still have a line if you lose power.

We lose​ power a lot on the island.

perfect replacement phone for when the power goes out and the wireless ones don't work.

Needed a non-powered phone for those rare situations when we lose power.

My cell is my main phone, but I have a land line in case of earthquakes (last big one we lost power but not phone service - !).

Glad to have a working phone in case the power goes out!

The sound part works very well with no extraneous power source.

id and caller id/call-waiting, as a back up to our cordless models, for power outages and such -- works great
