Good slim design, my favorite about this phone is the lighted key feature, since I have it by my bed, it makes it far easier to see the lighted keys for easy visual of the numbers!

I purchased this telephone for my older mother due to the fact it had lighted key pad. When I hooked it up for her needless to say the numbers were very dull where she still had a hard time seeing. We packed the product up and put it in the closet.
Very nice phone, especially for the price April 26, 2006

It's a simple phone, solidly built, good sound volume and clarity, comfortable to hold between ear and shoulder, and a very useful(albeit a bit dim since it's line powered) backlit keypad. It does have a couple memory locations to store phone numbers, but I'm used to cordless phones with LCD that I can see the number being dialed, so I don't use the memories here...
I'd like to see the Mute feature work a bit differently. I'd make it a sliding switch, like the ringer and Tone/Pulse control, instead of a button. When you press the button to engage the Mute function, the earpiece gives a short beep to confirm. Press another time it gives a longer beep as the microphone is turned back on. But other than those beeps there's no visual confirmation that shows what the current mute status is, and you can't hear the beep really well, while you have the phone in your hand and pressing the button. So either a slider control, or make the backlight flashing intermittently to show the user that the phone's been muted, is what I'd suggest to the designer/engineer...

Susposed to be capable of wall installation. Isn't. Handset will fall off if phone is more than one inch from upright.
 Good phone if it's actually working December 18, 2005

I have two. I was pleased with the first one for a year and a half, but now the ringer works only when it is in the mood to. I have tried reprogramming it and double-checked that the ringer is switched on. Some days it just won't ring. The second one, I picked up a few weeks ago. It would be great if that one would allow me to dial the number nine, especially since the one number I want to be able to dial quickly from any phone is 9-1-1. I am not happy. Also, sometimes when it's on touchtone, it will only dial via pulse, so when I tried to do telephone banking, I had to run to another phone. No amount of toggling back and forth will get it to switch over to touchtone.
I was suspicious about the quality of this phone when I noticed the tricky marketing ploy: the phone has the AT&T logo - from the old American Telephone & Telegraph from which we could expect better quality, but AT & T has licensed its logo out to "Advanced American Telephones." These "American" telephones are made in China likely under the sorts of working conditions that would explain the shoddiness. I miss the days of quality manufacturing.
BTW, when I went to request a return number from DynaDirect (the company that ships this product), I was not pleased that the form that needed to be filled out was not a secure form. It asked for way too much personal info not to be an https site. I can't return the phone since after a week I threw out the box only to then discover that I had not yet dialed a number that contained a nine in it.
