4 out of 5 [Posted on 2008-01-12]
Phone was all it was cracked up to be except when a call comes in, only their phone number is displayed BIG on the screen. Their name is displayed above that in a font that is about what you are reading now. Very hard to read.

Not as Expected [Posted on 2008-01-28]
My mom, who has macular degeneration and cannot see well, had a hard time seeing the numbers and display. The blue backlight makes it difficult to see. I had to return the phones.

Horrible- STOPPED WORKING [Posted on 2008-01-30]
This phone was purchased from Amazon in October 07', it is Jan 08' and the phone does not work at all. (It hasn't been dropped, or miss-used.) The buttons on the phone were off-sounding when dialing, HORRIBLE - -*DO NOT PURCHASE!*

Terrible phone! [Posted on 2008-03-10]
I pruchased this phone in January, 1008. It is now March, 2008 and the phone is unusable. First, I really liked the large numbers and the lighted antenna and numbers. Then, the numbers only lighted up partially and the dialing seemed slow. When I used the speakerphone it worked for about half a minute and then the volume went so low I couldn't hear it (no, I don't have hearing problems). The speakerphone function was spotty at best. The battery life seemed very short, even if we had not talked on it much and when I put it in the base to charge it wouldn't make contact without a lot of repositioning. Last night I was talking on the just-charged phone and it began to beep and there was so much static I had to switch to a different phone. When I pressed the button to hang it up, it wouldn't hang up. It remained on with the loud static and I had to finally unplug both the telephone line and the electrical feed. Even after that the thing kept beeping and making noise. It's trash!

Great for people who have bad hearing and slightly bad eyesight [Posted on 2008-07-23]
I ordered this phone for my parents because the numbers looked big. When I got the phone in the mail I was surprised because the picture does this phone no justice. The numbers are in fact big and the screen whenever a call comes in is easy to read. My father no longer has to get off the couch anymore to read the caller id. It's real good for screening calls because now its easier to ignore 1-800 numbers because we can see the caller id from feet away. I must admit though just last week the Astrix button fell off, granted we don't use that button I still wish that the phone was not 6 months old because I would have returned it. Other then that I still love this phone. The sound and the ringing is loud..did I mention it vibrates?
