Best Uses
"We bought this a year ago to replace our dead ATT kitchen wall phone. Our primary goals were to respect a sentimental attachment to the phone that served us for 20 years and to have good sound quality for our aging friends. Since our deal with Verison gave us free caller id that seemed to cinch the deal.
Except one needs to be extradordinarily careful when hanging up the phone because otherwise the handset lands up on the floor. Must be a sturdy handset because it still works after many trips to the floor. But how is it that a firm that hopes to be respected for technological expertise puts out an ordinary kitchen telephone with a hanger that is much too short. When you hang up on a tele-marketer you want to do it with authority and panache. The whole experience is ruined if the handset ends up on the floor. True?
We stopped using the caller id feature (which was poor to begin with) when the AA batteries ran out the second time in four months. Our Uniden portables all have caller id so this is no big loss.
Except that we should probably have ignored the caller id thing in the first place and bought one of the refurbished ATT classic kitchen wall phones for about the same price but with a wider choice of (50's-60's) colors (We could easily have added a caller id display of our own if it were important).
Still, the voice quality in and out is very good and it works fine after a year. So 3 out of 5 is fair."
