Review on Scitec 2510E Single Emergency Phone by Amy Collins

We needed a good landline phone for emergencies and 911 identification (VOIP phones and cell phones do not transmit your address to 911, only a landline phone). Landlines are also the only ones that work during a power outage. Because they plug into a modular phone jack rather than a wall outlet, they will continue to work in the event of a power outage. This phone feels very solid and has a good weight to stay in place. We've had these light, slim phones, but the whole phone slips or falls off the table if you move the handset too far from the phone. We didn't like them at all and the cord was kinked all the time. This red phone is solid, the cord is good and it stays in place, it's also a great red color, easy to see and a fun retro style red bat phone for emergencies. The sound quality is good, the ringtone has two ringtone volumes that can be adjusted. It's not possible to mute the ringer, but you can set it to a lower tone that's easy to hear around the house.
