I bought and returned this phone two times. Neither ever worked. As soon as you would enter the number a loud screeching sound would begin and static would cover any conversation. The cord is permanently installed so you can't replace it with a longer one. Not worth the energy to buy it.

All reviews have mentioned you can't change the cord on the phone. I brought it at Walmart. It is a nice soldid phone. However, the call ID display was very dim, can't see it in the dark or not well lited area. I returned it because I can't see the caller ID. I need to find a phone with better/brighter caller ID display.

By now, you've probably read all of the negative reviews and so had I when I picked this phone up locally, on sale for a sawbuck. I already knew what it didn't do and that is was battery a hog. The 3-4 foot (stretched) cable is perfect for my situation as a bedside phone. A backlit caller-id window would have been nice, but not crucial to my needs, since I mostly call out from the phone and usually answer it during daylight hours. As for the 4 AA batteries it requires, I bought some Energizer NiMH rechargeables and will swap them when needed -- well worth the $12 investment. The sound in & out (I spoke with my HOH mother without any complaint from her) are both good with 3 volume adjustments & the ringer has high, low & off. The display on the caller-id improved when I cranked up the contrast in the settings. I like the black & silver color combo and it matches my RCA clock radio.
