Reviews around retro (5.00 of 5)

  • Very cool and put into me retro decor that a little flimsy/cheaply made.
  • Best part, in addition to the cool retro looks and clear looks, is that with the long cord on the headset we can carry it around to any place in our kitchen while remaining on a call
  • I'd recommend it to anyone who loves a retro, funny look.
  • Awesome phone wish had the Retro ringtone as well but looks great on the wall not hard to hang either
  • I love it!, simply love the looks retro but with high tech!

Reviews around sound (4.38 of 5)

  • The receiver is heavy in your hand and the sound is crystal clear.
  • The sound the phone makes when the coins are dropped is so authentic.
  • Sound is not loud enough
  • On the cons side, it has a modern sounding ring and up close it is obvious that it is made of very light plastic (similar to a children's toy)
  • It works great sounds great and love everything about it!

  • The price here is outstanding, and the shipping charges are lower than PBTeen, as well.

Reviews around ringer (2.13 of 5)

  • To add insult to injury the electronic ringer is so weak it can hardly be heard more than a few feet away, even on its highest setting
  • The only complaint for me is that I don't like the ringer
  • I do not like the electronic ringer, but for the price and the look, it will do.
  • The ringer is extremely loud even on low and the quality is awesome!.
  • I don't particularly enjoy the ringer, but it's a great phone
