    Works well. I wish it had a highly visible indicator of how many messages it has recorded that could be seen from across the room. The dim LED indicator does count the messages, but you have to squint to see it. I also wish it had a battery back-up in case of AC power loss.. Other than that, it does the job at a reasonable low price.

    This item works great. I got it for my father who REFUSES to let go of his landline phone. Keep in mind folks....we're not too far away from landline phones going away completely, so if you need one of these...get it NOW!
