Exceeds my expectations!

I received my CapTel phone in the mail today. and I just LOVE IT. I was worried the subtitles would be random, but I had a wonderful conversation with my family on the phone for the first time in a LONG time. The screen even lets you know when the other person is laughing. lol The phone is very easy to set up and use. However, it's also challenging as it has a nicely customizable screen that's easy to read, has built-in auto-answer with programmable calls that you can turn on or off, has caller

I love this phone

I love this phone. We bought it about 14 months ago, but this month we had to replace it because some of the number keys stopped working. Disappointing. We hope our new one will last longer. However, with the great features and discounted price of this phone, if it needs replacing, it's worth it. My husband and I are in our 60s. I have hearing problems and he doesn't. We both love the signatures that appear automatically on calls. Many people in our state have a heavy accent that is difficult…

Pros
  • Landline
Cons
  • Long delivery time

SOME VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE PURCHASING

PROS: The product looks well put together and is fairly easy to set up and use. Based on these factors alone, I would give it 5 stars. However, as I will explain below, depending on your Wi-Fi system, there is a serious potential Wi-Fi connection issue that can cause the subtitles service not to work. POTENTIAL AGAINST: WATCH FOR "REPEAT". I ordered this model (840I) for my father, a WWII veteran with a severe hearing impairment. He and my mother live in a building that is an independent campus
