    AT&T CL4940 "Old School" Landline Phone-A Winner!

    Phones Like This Are A Dying Breed! This phone is a clear winner. Well built and simple to use in a complicated world. This phone has everything you need, an answering machine, big bright display, big buttons, and the speakerphone sounds excellent. Speed dial for a couple important often used numbers, mic mute, call log, and a directory for stored numbers. I tried a phone set-up with a base unit and the remote handsets and sent it back. Sound quality couldn't compare to this AT&T. Then you had to charge them, batteries wear out over time, etc. I am happy with this purchase and recommend this to anyone, young or old. This phone is rock solid and a price tag of $40. Glad I found it!

    Good desktop or wall-mounted phone

    Good desktop or wall-mounted phon with a cable. Has large buttons that make things easy to see. Easy and simple setup. Wished it didn’t require an AC power cable for when you want to mount it on the wall, but not a deal breaker.

    Senior friendly

    I use this as a speaker phone for my 94 yo friend. Easy to use once I took handset away and taped the button down. Then a little highlighting around two most frequently used buttons.

    We replaced a home phone that is basically the same as this. It's fine. We like the big buttons. It has plenty of useful features.
