I purchased this phone for my elderly mother, she likes it very well, the ringer is loud enough for her to hear it ring, and the handset volume is also loud enough for her to hear the conversation.This is the first phone in a long time she could really hear.
Since the dents are shallow and tight, you have to take care to place the headset correctly. I had to keep the cord from my old phone, as the cord that comes with this phone doesn't go out that far.
A cord that's a foot or two longer would've been great.I do like how the buttons have a bit of gap between them. Also, the phone is light (which is a good thing, mind you), so when the cord gets stretched, the phone starts getting pulled off the table.
This phone is simple to set up, and simple to use, because it's got no bells and whistles.The only things that make me give it 4 stars are1 - the dents where you place the headset are a bit shallow and a bit tight. I have a computer on my desk, and since I spend much more time on the computer than the phone, the phone goes on an adjacent table.
It looks a lot nicer than a scrunched-up keypad where the numbers are all right next to each other with no gap.Overall, a nice phone. If they had been deeper and looser, it would make it a lot easier to hang up the phone.
An extra quarter inch gap between the sides of the headset and the walls of the dents would've made it so one can hang up without thinking about it.2 - The cord is short.
You do have to take some care in replacing the handset on the phone as the handset hook retainer is somewhat small. Reception is clear. This phone is easy to install and simple to use. It mated perfectly with the standard phone company-installed wall mount panel.
Works clearly. Phone is simple. No bells and whistles, but solid, easy to use, and you can't lose it.
Only problem is that the volume control distorts the signal somewhat, but for such a cheap price, I can't complain too much. Great little phone, so far. It works fine.
