AT&T CL2940 Corded Phone with Speakerphone, Extra-Large Tilt Display/Buttons, Caller ID/Call Waiting and Audio Assist, Black

Great phone. I live in a place where the power goes out frequently and need a landline. I've had this model for several years now and it doesn't fail me. The big LCD display is large enough where I don't need my reading glasses to see who is calling. Display batteries last over year. I actually purchased a second one in case for some dumb reason they discontinue the model.

If you need a landline this is a great one. Simple to use, easy to read screen, and has worked great.

Great phone! Just remember it is a regular phone with no built in answering machine as was a model I bought previously. It works with the voicemail from my provider though. The numbers are easy to read on the keypad and the display as well. I have had no issues with this phone so far. It's black so if you don't like they color you need to look at another phone. It is not heavy and will easily fit on a table or desk.

Update: 5/15/20 - After using this phone for a year, I have raised my overall rating to 5 stars!! This is not a fancy phone, but it gets the job done well at a very low cost. Mount it correctly and you will have a great phone with lots of features, a display that you can easily read from 6 feet away, and sound quality that is excellent.All I really needed was a caller ID display on a phone in my shop. We get about 8 or 10 robo calls a day, and I just wanted to be able to screen calls without running to another room to see a caller ID. This phone is great for that. The display is clear and the quality of the audio is pretty good. I would have given the phone 5 stars, but the quality of the audio on the speaker phone is not good. Yes, you can tell what someone is saying, but the speakerphone audio quality is poor. If the quality was better, this would have been a 5-star review, but then this would likely have been a $60 to $100 phone. This phone was what I needed.Update 3/3/19: I forgot to mention that the phone mounts very well on a wall. It has the standard two pin spacing slots on the rear for a wall plate. If you look at the side view photos submitted by people that say the phone does not wall mount, you can see that they are using only one of the two available mounting slots. If the instructions are followed, there is no problem using a wall mount.

Solid old-school phone that still works well on a desk or table where you need a speaker phone and do not want to carry or hold a handset from a "modern" unit. There are many little bugs or glitches with it - e.g. the display shows both dark print and a shadow of past entries. It also wipes out area codes if you set your local or home area code via set up. The set up menu itself is not intuitive - and it uses techniques that were typical in the 00s. However, again, I like it much better than up to date landline styles and do recommend it to folks who like old school items and methods.

This is a speakphone that is great for a home office. It uses the "old time" phone jack plug. I plugged into my internet modem box as my service package includes a VoIP landline and it worked immediately. Speaker is clear plenty loud for me, a middle age male, set in the middle volume range. I recently used it for a condo board meeting for some people who called in, board members all commented it was easier to hear than the iphone we had been using. It also has large text and numbers if your reading glasses are not in reach of the phone (... for us folks of a certain age)I use it for meetings for those "work from home" days: it is far better for long meetings than the earbud I was using on my cell and sound quality is better than the cell. The earbud would hurt my ear after about 30 minutes so this is a better option for me.The lit mute and speaker on lights are handy for conference calls.Entering numbers into the directory was straightforward and the speed/ directory dial works fast and easy.Although some of the better sound is likely due to the VoIP quality and not the phone itself, it does a better job at filling the room with sound than any cell speaker I have used.If you do conference call meetings in your office, you will like this phone - plus you can look stuff up on the cell without all of those handling noises!

1. When you pick up the handset, the hook switch does not readily pop up and connect you to the phone line. It looks like the lever that the handset rests on is not properly placed on the chassis of the phone and rubs against it or stays down completely. You have to tap the phone chassis to dislodge the hook switch or use the hands free button to answer the call. I am not sure who I need to contact about this. Since I have several years working in the telephone industry and I am the only one that will use this set, I can put up with this little problem. If this problem appears on other sets, those operators may not be able to understand what is happening. Over time this problem will wear through and clear by itself.2. Sound quality feature. I live 5 miles out in the country. Usually a cheap phone will pick up all of the background hum that is induced into the telephone cables. This phone seems to keep all of that noise at bay.3. Volume control is ok, but I don't need to turn it up really high to hear anything.4. Battery Life. Since I have just purchased and set this phone up, I am not sure how long the battery life will be.5. My main reason for purchasing this set was the large caller ID display. Since this is on my local phone number, I want to be able to see who is calling me before I answer the call.6. Reason for over all rating was lack of customer support.

it's a good, cheap phone. The last one worked for years and years.
