Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of AT&T 210 Corded Phone, White, 1 Handset
Customer Review: great for incoming calls, terrible keypad
Summary: 3 Stars
The sound is clear, it works during power failures, it can dial from memory, the keypad lights, it's easy to see and pick up in a dark room, and it seems sturdy.
The keypad is cluttered. When you glance from the phone book to the keypad, you have to pick out your digit from an array of 18 identically sized and spaced buttons.
The buttons for fire, police, and medical help shouldn't be there. They add clutter and could easily be pressed inadvertently. If desired, the numbers could be stored with other numbers in memory. When every second counts, most people dial 911.
The bottom row has flash, redial, and memory. These keys should be set off from the ten digits.
Customer Review: Cannot change phone cord
Summary: 1 Stars
The phone cord that came with this phone was too short, so I tried to change it to a longer one. No can do.
The phone cord that connects from the wall to the base of the phone cannot be changed. All other phones I have seen, there is a phone back for the wall and one for the base of the phone. Not with this phone. The end that connects to the base of the phone goes inside the phone.
I even undscrewed the base, only the find out the other end of the phone cord connects to a computer chip and is not a phone jack.
I returned this less than a day after I bought it. Don't waste your money on this. If you can't adapt the phone to different sized rooms, what is the point?
Customer Review: Not a wall phone
Summary: 1 Stars
When I searched "corded wall phone" this came up and I ordered it. However, it is NOT a wall phone. I installed it on my wall plate just fine, but the receiver falls off the base. The base is straight up and down, so there's nothing to keep the receiver in place. i attempted to call AT & T's customer service to see if there is some trick to installing the phone, but when I entered the model number. the recording said the phone is out of warranty so I was unable to access the help desk.
I just ordered a newer version GE trim line phone with caller ID window from 101phones.com. It is described as wall mountable. They have quite a few wall phones to choose from.
Customer Review: classic american phone!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent phone that is comfortable and provides a quality sound. I just installed one in my kitchen and you wouldn't believe how many people comment on it. Seems like everybody grew up with one of these in their homes.
The cord to me is actually a positive thing, since I'm able to get off the phone a lot quicker and don't waste as much time as if people called me on a cordless. "Hey, on a corded phone, gotta go," is all it takes for me to hang up and go on about my business.
If you're looking for something that works well for short phone calls, this is a great phone. Doesn't take up much space and it sounds great!
Customer Review: An "old dependable"
Summary: 5 Stars
This phone is strong and sturdy (though over the years I've managed to break one or two by repeatedly dropping them) and has all the basic features I want, including the three easy-to-program speed dials, the redial button, the volume control, and -- for me the most useful of all -- a switch to turn off (or to simply lower the volume on) the electronic ring, so I can let the answering machine pick up calls when I'm asleep. And of course a land-line phone is not going to be useless if the electricity ever goes off. I seem to recall that this model may once have come in brown, and apparently it doesn't anymore; I do miss that. Otherwise, it's ideal.
