Answered by cognac
- A: AnswerOur phone has a button that reads, "Play/Stop." Pressing that button causes the message recorded on the phone's answering machine to play. We experienced problems when setting up the answering machine part of the phone. I had set the # of rings before the answering machine picks up to 6. I called from my cell phone & left a message on the house phone, but was unable to play it. It turns out the answering service through Verizon picks up after fewer than 6 rings, and puts the message in their system, which requires a dial in to obtain messages from Verizon. By changing the house phone's # of rings to 4, before messages go to the phone's answering machine, the problem was solved. Best wishes with your phone. We love ours!

- A: AnswerI bought the same phone and thought that would be the case with a long cord extension. Unfortunately the phone needs to be plugged into the wall so you can't walk around with it like you're imagining.. I do however have a long cord that goes from the receiver to the base and that gives me some room to move around.. Hope this helps!

- A: AnswerYou can wall mount (piece included). You can turn off the answering machine at any time. DO NOT purchase AT&T phone w/out answering feature. You can not read the caller ID part, nor display; etc., all way too small, Waste of money,

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.

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!
