AT&T 210 Basic Trimline Corded Phone, No AC Power Required, Wall-Mountable, White

For the price, which included Free SuperSaver Shipping, one would have a hard time finding a better deal. It is a solid little phone (did not quite expect the "heft" to it that it has), appears to be well-put-together, rings fine and has a good sound quality (not tinny or with interference as one might expect for a phone for this price ~ I've had "cheap" phones before and "sound quality" is just not something I would expect to find at this price ~ under $13). The white color and sleek modern styling go well with our post-modern decor. We needed an inexpensive corded phone with no added features (the 13-Number Memoy feature is something we will never use) as we live in an area which occasionally experiences untility outages due to severe weather. The phone service usually stays intact during these periods, however anything requiring electric is dead until the power is restored. Cell phone coverage here is also very sporadic and hard to come by, so a corded phone was essential to our well-being. This phone fit the bill perfectly for our needs. The only thing I didn't particularly care for was that it comes with a "favorite phone numbers" paper label stuck on the base (under the handset). There is no plastic covering for this and I can see where it will eventually get "dirty-looking" or unsightly with regular cleaning. I would have preferred receiving the label separately as something I had the option (or not) of placing there myself. That is no big deal and did not affect my overall rating as I will just remove it eventually (carefully, as the base cannot be immersed, however have found the blue D**n dishwashing liquid on a coarse cloth is perfect for removing sticky substances such as labels, etc.). I suppose if someone wished to use this label to write their "favorite numbers" on, they could place transparent packing tape over it so it would not get dirty and/or wear with regular cleaning. But again, for the money, even this inveterate bargain-hunter could not find a better deal. I must say I am a little amazed at some of the reviews on here which portray a sort of "shock" that this is made in China. It is very hard to find products NOT made there these days and current and past administrations are to blame for this ~ NOT Amazon (although I do wish Amazon would place the Country of Origin on ALL of their product descriptions). I would have been "shocked" if it WASN'T made in China or some other overseas location ~ although my family does try to search out American-made products (however they are increasingly harder to find). Amazon itself, as they have been with every order I have placed with them, was wonderful and had it on my doorstep within four days of ordering (along with two other items in the order). It was packed well in its own box and packed by Amazon Fulfillment quite adequately. I love sitting at home in my pajamas searching for great deals on Amazon and not having to run from store to store looking (and not having the benefit also of others' reviews) and then having my chosen item(s) on my doorstep within a few days. That benefit alone is, well, ------> Price-less!

Good price

I just received this White Trimline 210 phone from Amazon. It looks/works great, and I expect I will be as satisfied as most of the other reviewers. While I still have the packaging, I wanted to clear up some confusion I had prior to purchase about the clever marketing relationship between AT&T (the big one) and AT&T (a separate entity/manufacturer called Advanced American Telephone). Here's the legalese from the side of the box: "Made in China. "(C) 2007 Advanced American Telephones. All rights reserved. AT&T and the AT&T logo are trademarks and the graphic design of this package is a trademark of AT&T Intellectual Property II, L.P. a/b/a AT&T Intellectual Property, licensed to Advanced American Telephones. The graphic design of this package is (C) AT&T Intellectual Property, 2006. All rights reserved. TRIMLINE (R) is a registered trademark of Advanced American Telephones." It's fairly clear that a lot of legal and marketing thought has gone into trying to make this look like an authentic "AT&T phone" when it is definitely something less than that. It is...."an AT&T BRANDED (and/or Licensed) phone." For example, warranty issues are not handled by AT&T in any way, but by, um, AT&T -- if you catch my drift. Personally, I don't have a problem with any of the above in this case because the phone seems to be a good value and quality -- as the reviews suggested. But it certainly does not have the weight and heft and durability that we remember from, say, Bell Products or the (way) old "Phone Company" days -- part of the heritage and identity that the "branding" of this phone is trying to leverage. For today's purposes, however, it's close enough. The look and feel of this phone is solid. I hope it works and lasts for a while.

Nice quality, no batteries or home power needed. For those with active landlines, it adds a comforting layer of security.

Arrivato prima del previsto. Negozio serio. Telefono semplice nel funzionamento. Qualità della voce eccellente.

O telefone em geral é bonito, tem um design elegante, robusto. Mas, tem um porém, a campainha dele é baixo, mesmo no volume alto, para quem mora numa residência grande, não vale a pena.

They are great basic phones.

Excelente teléfono por el precio. Hace lo básico, no cuenta con identificador de llamadas pero tiene mucho estilo. Me gustó, lo recomiendo.

Perfect just the job could be a little heavier but fitted to the wall it was fine
