Not better than expected, in fact, slightly worse than expected, but quite a good telephone. I expected it to be a bit more sturdy - slightly heavier plastic, but to be less bulky - particularly the thickness (height) of the handset and of the base. I didn't expect quite as many buttons as it has - some of them are unnecessary for my usage. However, these are quite good phones, at a reasonable price, and I am pleased that I purchased them.

The AT&T 210M basic landline phone is quality built, the audio quality is superb and clear, can adjust loudness and high quality clear audio. Some basic features added so check the instructions how to setup, nice basic phone, I like it much, hope it lasts years of service! Recommended!

My father who is in his late 80's and who's mind is giving him trouble had issues dialing his traditional kitchen wall phone that has hung there since the late 1950's. Basically, he could not look at a number and then remember it to dial it on the wall. With this phone, he can look at the number and put the phone beside it on his table and dial the number without a mistake. Also with the receiver connection on the handset instead of on the wall, it makes it easier for him to make multiple calls. Its made cheaply compared to the old "trimline" phones and I think it may crack if its dropped but what ISNT made cheaply today? For my aging father, once he learned to use it instead of his traditional wall phone, its perfect.

I still love the vintage AT&T 210 Basic Trimline Corded Phone. I was so happy to be able to purchase another AT&T 210 phone from Ebay when my mother's old phone would no longer work! What a great price, I love the white color, the sound is very clear and very audible, and what a quick delivery! I am very happy and very pleased with this AT&T 210 Trimline phone!

Still like having a landline in my home and this phone offers all pros and no cons. I love the sound volume control, the shut off ringer and the large lit dial buttons. The sound quality is excellent.

There are three levels of volume. On the loudest setting, it would be too loud for a person with normal hearing, but a hard of hearing user would like this feature. The handset is lighter than what they weighed decades ago for the same model phone. You can also program phone numbers into the call list to make it possible to push only one number to call someone. With a 20 foot coiled wire attached I can move around the living room and still have the ability to make new calls. The sound quality is great.

I use this phone as a line tester phone. I have 12 phone jacks in my house and often do different configurations. So, when I do maintenance and upgrades on lines I use this phone as a test phone to make sure everything is installed and maintained fine. Works great and is the model phone I had for about 20 years of my life so there's a little nostalgia too :)

I wanted to write this review to let future buyers know that phone is great except for the fact that when attached to wall it did not hold the handset. I bought this for my in laws and my hubby installed this...replacing my in laws old but similar phone..hubby had to reuse old base to be able to hang phone on wall. The new base did not catch the handset well enough to hold it up. I guess this is great for a desk phone and not for hanging.

This is a great phone at a low price. The feature I like the most is the high, low or off ring tone. Most phones have high or off. I like to set mine on low. I also like that it is a switch on the outside of the phone and I don't have to go to a menu to change it. Nice and simple.

This phone was easy to set up and program. I used my old cord because it was longer. I wish that I would have gotten a cordless, but I didn't know that I could because it is a landline. I would recommend this phone to anyone who just wants a basic phone without a lot of unnecessary frills.
