This WOULD HAVE been the perfect phone for my 89 year-old mother ... IF it had worked as described in the user manual. Since she lives in an assisted living facility, and she has to dial "7" to get an outside line, she needed a phone that would include a pause when programming the memory buttons. The user manual describes how to do it, but it wouldn't work. I even called Ameriphone's customer support, and they verified the phone was defective. I returned it to Amazon, and they shipped me a new one pronto! However, the replacement had EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM, so I'm not sure whether both phones were defective, or it just has a defective design. Amazon took the second one back too, and gave up on it, refunding my full purchase price including shipping. Amazon performed very well, but this phone did NOT! The only problem is I can't find anything out there made by another company that has the same great features. BUMMER!

The Ameriphone XL 30 is one of a very few phones that will amplify the OUTGOING signal. Our phone line is not great and people kept telling us, "I can't hear you!" No more. I installed the XL 30 in a wall mount mode, switched on the 15 db amplification and Bingo, no more problems. It will also add amplification to the incoming signal and allow you to shift the tone curve so that it can be adjusted to your ears. The big number keys are great and the one button memory dailing is an improvement over our old phone. It really works and seems like a high quality instrument.

Bought this phone as a birthday gift for my Mother. Worked for two months and then she couldn't hear anything in the receiver. We got her a new receiver but now people can hear her only very faintly when she talks. I wouldn't purchase from them again and wouldn't recommend their phones.
