The picture of this phone made it appear that the caller ID was back-lit, but it isn't. It's a very good phone with lots of good features at an excellent value. For my needs it was perfect.
With this telephone, the flashing button turns the answering machine off. Too many times my mother has turned the voicemail off accidentally. I purchased this phone for my elderly mother because she has difficulty with cordless telephones given her Parkinson's disease. You have to depress the outer portion of the button to retrieve voicemail. This is designed poorly and makes me caution potential buyers of this product. While it has been easy for her to make and receive calls, the retrieval of voicemail has been difficult because of the poor design of the button. Most answering machines require one to press the flashing button to retrieve voicemail.
The phone has great features, however, that is nullified when you talk on it. When one talks on the phone, it sounds like you are in a tunnel. I would not suggest this product. I should remember that you get what you pay for.the low price equals the low quality.
4 AA batteries lasted the whole time (4 days x 8 hours = 32 hours) and did not look like I need to replace them at all.The speaker was very loud and easy to hear, I was talking a bit as well and nobody complained about the quality. I bought this phone for 4 days online class (audio portion was via phone). I could clearly hear the speaker from 30 feet away, I did not try to speak from that distance.This is cheap corded phone with speakerphone and does exactly what I expected. Please note I was sitting at my desk with the phone 2-4 feet away. I was a bit worried that 4 AA battries won't last long. I was wrong.
The phone was ready to use in just a few minutes with the easy to read user's manual. AT&T corded desk phone (950 Speakerphone w/caller ID )Received the phone in just a couple of days.
