Title: Excellent land line phone and answering machine
Review: Bought the AT&T CL4940 Corded Standard Phone. This phone is our second of this model purchased to replace another phone. We liked the first so much we purchased the second one. We wanted to have the same model on both floors of the house. One is used as an answering machine and the other can serve as a backup if needed. The lettering on the keyboard is large and easy to see. The arrangement of the controls is good. The menu system is clear and easy to use due to the good labeling on the keyboard. Speaker phone words well. The price was good.

Title: Great for folks with Parkinsons
Review: I bought this for my older brother who has Parkinsons. He loves using the speaker feature since his hands shake so much its hard for him to hold the receiver. Now when I need to walk him through something thats on the other side of the room, he’s not tied to the phone. Setting it up was very intuitive, and I only needed to refer to the book to figure out how to get the space between the first and last name. I was able to program in the family and his doctors numbers so he can easily make a call when he needs to. The quality of the sound is great and its easy to change the volumn when needed. Once it set up, you just need to push one button to get to whatever you need. This was a well worth investment!

Title: Great Phone…No coiled handset cord
Review: I received my phone today and love it! The buttons are large and the screen is adjustable and large.The only issue i have is on the box it says it contains a coiled handset cord… there was not onein the box. Not a good thing if you actually want to use the phone.

Title: Decent phone.
Review: I bought this phone for my mother, who isn’t very good with technology, is a bit hard of hearing, and doesn’t see very well.I specifically bought the phone for the large LCD display with the orange background, because of its high contrast, and the hearing assist feature.The ringer can be turned up nice and loud, and the hearing assist feature amplifies the caller enough that mom can easily hear the person on the other end. She can also read the caller ID display, so this phone has met my expectations.It’s also pretty easy to use. When viewing the caller ID list, if she wants to call someone back, all she needs to do is pick up the handset and the phone will dial the number. So she can use this phone even though she’s not very technologically savvy.There are a few things that I don’t like about the phone.- Limited Directory listings. You can only store 25 numbers into memory. These days when you may have a home phone, plus two or three mobile numbers for a family member, 25 numbers just isn’t adequate. Especially if you need to take into account: Children (and spouses) grandchildren, friends, etc… 50 would be a better limitation, while 100 numbers would probably be ideal.- Directory isn’t alphabetical! I can’t figure this one out, as it would seem that alphabetizing your phone list would be basic functionality. However, this phone doesn’t seem to think so. What this means, is that it makes it difficult to find individual phone numbers using the directory. The directory has a feature (most phones do this) that you can enter the directory, then press one of the number keys to go directly to a letter of the alphabet. In theory, this makes it easy to locate a number. Calling a name starting with a “J”? Press the 5 button and start scrolling through the “J’s”. With this phone though, the numbers are in the directory in the order you’ve added them… So, you can press the 5 button to get to the J’s, but scrolling down may go J, S, B, etc… This just doesn’t make any sense to me… The manual says the entries will be sorted alphabetically if you go to a letter and scroll down, but this isn’t the case. No matter how I try to scroll through the directory, it isn’t sorted properly.- Abridged manual. For some reason, the manual included with this phone is the abridged version. If you want the full manual, you’ll need to download the .PDF from AT&T’s support site.The abridged manual doesn’t describe some functionality that I would consider necessary information. For example, the abridged manual tells you how to add your home area code, as well as four alternate local area codes. What it doesn’t explain is what this area code is used for. In my area, the area code is required on local calls, so the phone should display 10 numbers. Thinking that adding the area code would enable this functionality, I added it as my home area code. Then I was trying to figure out why the caller ID was only showing 7 numbers. So if you tried to call a number back using the caller ID information, the call wouldn’t go through because it won’t dial the area code first.After trying to figure out what was going on, I noticed that the manual said it was the abridged version… What? So I went to AT&T’s website and downloaded the full manual. The full manual describes that the function of adding the area code is the opposite of what I would expect. Adding your home area code to the phone will cause the caller ID data to NOT show the area code! If you need the area code to make local calls, don’t add your area code… The full manual also explains how to change this data on the fly using the pound key. If a number comes through as showing only 7 digits and you need 10, you can press the pound key to add the area code to the number. Why isn’t this in the abridged manual?- Audio assist is per call. You can’t tell the phone to always use audio assist. You must press the audio assist button each time you are on a call. I can see how this would make sense if multiple users are going to be using the phone, but if only a single person will be using it and they are hard of hearing, it would be nice to have a way to always enable the audio assist.

Title: Best phone we’ve ever had!
Review: Excellent value, easy setup, great voice and sound quality which can be instantly boosted with audio assist button. Very easy to hang up on side of cabinet by doorway so it is in a central area. I really like that it is a corded phone that will stil able to send and receive calls during a power outage (though some features would not be available).I did a lot of research to find this phone that ticks all the boxes for hard of hearing and lower vision family members. Although it has a relatively short handset cord, longer ones can be ordered on Amazon. It also has a great speakerphone feature so the user is not tied to the phone during a call.This phone was purchased to replace an old AT&T cordless phone set, but we realized we can use that system simultaneously if we turn off that system’s answering machine and either plug it into a different phone jack or use a splitter. That way we can have handsets throughout the house without having to buy a new cordless system with multiple handsets. So, we saved a lot of money and couldn’t be happier. Thank you, AT&T and Amazon!

Review: So easy to assemble (even for a senior). Great sound which you can adjust with the “Audio Adjust feature. No problems in assembling, completed all the additional setups within minutes. Greatly improves the audio and clarity when receiving incoming calls. The “incoming call feature is bright and large enough that you can see it from a distance. The “call answer, flash, audio assist and message waiting features are bright enough for you to know you have a voicemail message. The clarity of the voicemail messages have been vastly improved. Love the speakerphone feature and use it on a regular basis. Finally a corded phone that has everything needed for those of us in the aging genre. With this phone’s audio clarity features I’m not aging, but my hearing capabilities have improved.
