📞 AT&T 205 Trimline Basic Phone - Corded Landline Telephone, White Review

It's hard to find a corded wall phone these days, but the Trimline was just what I needed to replace the one that was already hanging on the kitchen wall. Since I had already bought a very long cable before my old phone broke, Trimline makes it easy to switch cables where others I've researched don't. I'm really happy with this phone.

I felt I had to review this phone because the picture doesn't show that the plastic that makes up the case is cheap (not slippery) plastic - it is somehow so cheap toys consists of. It looks and feels cheap and isn't as easy to keep clean as the AT&T 205 Slimline. The phone works well but it doesn't have a keyboard backlight like the previous one. TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I will buy some older models which seem to be of better quality and have backlit keyboards (which I like for bedside tables).

Good phone for a wired variant. I just wanted a cheap landline phone that younger kids could use and that would help reduce cell talk time. There is nothing special about this phone, but the sound quality is good. The buttons are small and recessed so large hands or poor eyesight may make this phone difficult to use, but otherwise it's a great basic home phone. It cannot be lost like wireless ones and does not run on batteries that will burn out or die if the power goes out!
