Customer Reviews

Perfect for the high-tech household (really, read on).
Today, it is very difficult to find a phone like the AT&T 950. You can find aisle after aisle of corless phones, caller ID (CID), answering machine features, multi-headsets, multi-line, etc. Believe me, we are a high-tech, all digital household, but there are three reasons why this is the perfect phone for my high-tech household.

1. My house was built 15 years ago without the forethought of an AC outlet near the phone so I am limited for the primary house phone to be powered by the phone jack only, which means limited features because all the newest phone features need far more than the phone jack can supply. This phone has CID, 10 speed dial buttons and a speakerphone! Try getting these features without an AC Adapter; it's a long search. Besides, in my kitchen, I don't like the look of a power cord running down the wall or risk snagging it when I walk by.

2. Every house should have one phone that is powered solely by the standard RJ-11 phone jack. We also have a multi-handset cordless phone system with handsets conveniently placed throughout the house, so there is plenty of cordless phone access. But these phones are dead in a power outage. I know, cell phones work too, but your battery might be low and then what, go sit in the car with the cigarette lighter charger? For those of you with elderly parents, this is a great idea as well; they quickly get nervous in a power outage. Their primary phone should be jack-powered only.

3. Thankfully, it doesn't have an answering machine feature. That's right, I don't want an answering machine phone. I've had phone company based answering machine (voice mail) for years, first Vonage, now Comcast (most of the other major carriers bundle this feature). So I don't want to pay for answering machine features in phones because I'd have to turn them off anyway. Besides, that goes back to reason #1, answering machines need an AC outlet and I don't have one near the phone.

And of course, the phone works great. Sound quality is crystal clear, buttons are easy to dial (press), it's easy to clean, the speakerphone is so loud I have to keep it turned down. Yes, it does need four AA batteries, but they last about a year. Some people will complain that the CID window is hard to see. It's not backlit of course but considering everything else, that's not a problem.

And it costs $25-30. I hope AT&T keeps making these basic phones. They have a place in the high-tech home.

Reliable phone with the features I want
This phone has worked very well for me. I've had it for about two years. It displays the last 50 or so calls I've received and accommodates call waiting and call holding. I changed the batteries for the first time today after months and months of reliable use. So my experience has definitely been different from the other reviewer. Very good phone for the money.

Keep Looking
It had all the features I wanted in a gift. The phone looked good when he opened it and he liked all the features it offered. I'm embarrassed to have given it as a gift now knowing the poor working quality of the phone. It sounds ok when using the handset, but the sound quality is awful when used as a speakerphone. The appeal of this product was the speakerphone feature and it does not work as needed. The voice of the person using the phone cuts in and out during the conversation or the person must yell and stand close to the phone in order to be heard. This is not acceptable. The speaker is located on the bottom of the unit. How can you possibly have a good quality speakerphone with the speaker located on the side that faces the surface on which it sits? Keep looking for a better speakerphone product. I know I will!
