Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of AT&T 210 Corded Phone, White, 1 Handset
Customer Review: Handy For When The Power Goes Out - Highly Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
The AT&T Trimeline is a very basic corded phone that works when the power goes out. We bought three of these (one for our house, shop, and my mother's house) to use mostly as backup for when our various cordless phones become unusable in during power outages (more frequent than I like in our area).
We have these connected to line splitters (like Belkin RJ11 Plug/2-RJ11 Jack Modular T Adapter) and they work just fine. These also have physical switches to adjust the ringer volume and phone volume which, although limited, does give us some control. It is also handy that the keypad is "backlit" and draws power directly from the phone line, allowing you to see the numbers in the dark.
While these phones do have the ability to store numbers and even speed-dial, we have not set them up to do it.
Highly Recommended!

Customer Review: worked fine - for 3 weeks
Summary: 1 Stars
item arrived quickly, and worked fine - for 3 weeks. Then suddenly, it simply died. Phone lines are working, checked everything with other cordless phones, etc., even the phone connection cord works on other phones. The phone unit itself died after just 3 weeks of use. Since this is supposed to be my corded phone for emergency situations, this is a definite problem. But lesson learned - you get what you pay for... since I didn't pay much, I didn't get much. This time, it'll be a trip to a local brick&mortar store for a replacement, so that returning anything defective will not be such a hassle. Perhaps I'll finally learn the other important lesson - never buy anything electronic through amazon. I've yet to buy anything that plugs in to electrical or phone jacks through amazon that has ever worked for more than a few weeks/months. From here on out, I'll stick to books and things with no moving or electronic parts.Customer Review: The best single line phone design ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I've loved the trimline phone ever since I got my first phone more than 20 years ago. Then, the trimline was a real, Bell System, telephone. Although this phone is clearly not the same as the real Bell trimline phones, it still has the great, comfortable design and the dialpad in the handset, which makes it an excellent choice. I've compared several other trimline phones and this is the closest phone I could find to the original Bell phones.
Northwestern Bell also makes a trimline phone, but the quality and comfort are nowhere near this AT&T version.
If you read the other reviews, you will see that at least one review (dated November of 2004) says that this phone was discontinued. Yet, here we are in late November 2004, and its still around. I'm guessing (could be wrong here) that this phone will be around forever, even though AT&T no longer promotes it on their web-site.
Customer Review: 13 number memory and ringer tone get lost quick
Summary: 1 Stars
Wanted a phone with a small footprint and memory dialing for my desk. AT&T not my first choice because of problems with an answering machine a few years ago but only one I could find with memory. Trying to enter numbers into one-touch and memory dialing was frustrating. Repeated efforts required. Changed ringer tone from 2 to 1. Within a few days memory had been cleared and ringer tone back to 2. Reentered numbers and ringer tone. After five days memory was cleared out again along with ringer tone. Manually dialing works OK but that's not all I paid for. Still in warranty but I'm not going through a frustrating return process only to have the same problems reoccur. When the manual dialing goes the phone goes in the trash. I am sick and tired of junk produced in China.Customer Review: Great little phone!
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed to replace the phone in the kitchen for my landline (yes there are a few of us left who still have one) and I didn't want a large cumbersome-looking cordless phone and have to look at that hideous power wire running down my wall to one of those bulky-looking transformers. I just needed a basic phone without a lot of frills and extras and I didn't need one with a built-in answering system because I already have one connected to my desk phone. The AT&T corded phone was just right for what I needed and the price was right! It has clear sound and an audible ringer, both of which have a high-low volume adjustment. I recommend this phone to anyone looking to add or replace an existing phone anywhere in their home -- and it also can be used on a desk/table top.
