Southwestern Bell FM2552 Trimline Corded Telephone with Caller ID and Wall Mount (Black)

Rating:
Summary: Noisy
Review: After setting up this phone I used it to make a few calls. I immediately noticed a lot of backround noise whenever I used it. The noise was there whether making or receiving calls. When I switched back to my old phone on the same jack, the noise was gone. I'll be returning this one.

Summary: Terrible
Review: I only gave this phone one star because there is no "0 star" option. I bought this phone and within ONE WEEK it had deteriorated to the point where dialing required slow, hard pressing, and often still didn't register... sometimes it would pause/mute during the middle of a conversation and it randomly hung up on people. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND A PHONE THAT LASTS!?!??!

Summary: Unreadable Display
Review: Phone is unacceptable for wall mount because:

LCD is unreadable unless you bend down and shine a bright light on it. (I have good eyes by the way!)

Useless in dim light situations. No backlight on display. Font is tiny.
Stay away.
