Problems [Posted on 2008-10-29] The first phone would not program correctly. This phone was a replacement and it, too, will not program correctly in all of the memories. Some are OK.
I would not give it any stars.
great look [Posted on 2008-11-17] I purchased this phone as a back-up to the wireless system I currently have, in the event of a power outage. It perfectly fits the bill.
Excellent deal for the money [Posted on 2008-11-18] I purchased this phone to replace an identical one that has served me for 20 years. I just finally wore it out. The new one has been in use for about a month now with no problems. It is our main land line phone so it gets a lot of abuse. It is a good, basic, no-frills phone that lasts. Sound quality excellent.
Good phone [Posted on 2008-12-16] Nice low-price and low-tech phone. Keypad is backlit by power from the phone line (no need to plug it in or to use batteries). Ringer can be turned up, down, or off right in the side of the handset which is nice if you have sleeping kids. Handset is comfortable to hold against ear. To hang it on a wall, a small plastic part in the base must be removed, flipped, and reinserted otherwise the handset falls out of the base. My only minor complaint is that the handset doesn't really 'click' into the base solidly even after reversting the part that hold it there. It feels like it might possibly fall off in an earthquake...but maybe not. This is the only thing causing me to give it 4 stars instead of 5. Anyway, I'd buy this phone again if I needed another.
Just in case the power goes out, which it does from time to time here. [Posted on 2008-12-21] The great thing about this phone is one simple fact: it's not digital. Why is that great? Because in emergencies where the power has gone out in your home you will not be able to use the nice gadgetry of your digital phone because, lo and behold, there will be no electrical power from which to run it.
But, the Trimline is not digital. It's an analog phone that runs simply off the standard phone cord. No other electrical power is necessary, and it will work even when the power is out provided that no local phone lines are down anywhere.
And that's a plus no matter how you slice it. My parents are aging and I'd like the ability to contact them in case the power goes out so that I can make certain that they are ok.
Phones are great for business or personal use, but if they don't function when you really need them then they are not worth very much, are they?
