    I purchased this machine for a friend who could not successfully use a cell phone. This machine is easy to use and numbers are large and the screen for incoming calls is very legible. My friends eye sight is poor but he could see the numbers. Cell phone was to small for his hand .I am happy with this purchase.

    Nice looking phone and the display is relatively easy to read. Not difficult to install (we used it for a wall installation). The menu, however, is somewhat confusing and not easy to use until you get used to it. Answering machine feature works well.

    It is extremely easy to understand and use. The large screen, large numbers, and control buttons, aren't hidden in small type somewhere on the screen or control panel.

    I originally purchased this phone for my elderly father, who needed a larger display due to diminishing vision. After he died, I decided to keep it for myself and am very pleased. The Caller ID information is easy to see with the lighted display.

    The phone works well, and I'm happy I bought it. The only negative is that the speaker sound is not as natural as on my other phone, which is similar to this phone but older. It was easy to set up. Prospective buyers should be aware that it has to be plugged into both electricity and a phone line. There is not battery compartment, something that I have on my older phone. I haven't set up the answering system yet, so I can't comment about it.

    I love this phone. However AT&T has not reconnected it since I changed over to their service. I miss the landline phone so much.

    Great Phone. Large numbers, large screen and easy to use. One drawback is the red light that is always on - prefer they used a blue light.

    I purchased this to replace another phone where the screen was basically unreadable. The AT&T CL4940 lights up when there is a call and shows the name and phone number in large black letters on an orange background. Exactly as pictured on the web-site and great for two-factor authentication for people without cell phones or who prefer to get phone messages instead of texts. Perfect for people with limited vision. The buttons are also oversized, and the numbers clearly marked. There is no hold button but there is the option to put it on speaker. The ring volume can be increased and I finally had to turn it down because it was so loud. I did not set up the voice mail because I don't need it

    This phone is great for my 92 year old father. He is able to operate it easily and can see the numbers and text because of the size of each.

    The phone has quite a few features including caller ID, call waiting, big buttons and an answering system, and the best part is the price is reasonable.

    This combination phone/answering machine/caller ID is a great replacement for my previous phone/answering machine. Has more functions, is very easy to install and set up and needs no batteries. (My last phone did use batteries.) The giant keypad and display are bigger than I need but appreciated, It has a call screening function that is very useful but can be turned off. Been using it for over a month and I've been very satisfied with this product.

    This is a nice phone -- the display is lit up and it is in large print so it's easy to read. The numbers on the pad are also large so they're easy to press. The quality of the phone line is also good -- you can clearly hear the person on the other end. A message light comes on and blinks when someone leaves a message. This is a great phone for seniors.

    The display on this phone is bright and easy to read. For us the bigger numbers and bigger display is perfect. Sounds great on both the hand set and the speaker. We are 'mature' so the bigger display and numbers makes for easier dialing - if we have not stored the number - and the bigger display is much easier to read that our older model.
