📞 VTech CD1103W Corded Phone, White: Reliable Communication with 1 Handset Review

Was cheap and does what I need. A corded phone as a backup is a good idea for everyone. If the power goes out, you still have a phone to use.

Omaha had a 7 day power outage - cell phones didn't work and my landline was connected to fancy electronic office phones - USELESS! - If I had it, I'd be fine. The phone company does not need the utility. Fabulous!

This is a basic, lightweight corded phone. It has 3 adjustable volume controls and a loud ringtone. Works well. The only thing I don't like is that the phone and the phone cords are in the same cord and they are short so I can't change the long phone cord.

I wanted an inexpensive replacement and this works great, but the downsides are that the cord is short and can't be replaced; appears to be permanently attached, unlike most desk phones with detachable cords; and the bell isn't very loud so I can't hear it from afar or from outside. But I don't use my phone very often and really didn't want to spend a lot, so this…

I actually got this phone because I wanted free shipping and a new phone somehow. The old phone we had was a large wired phone. I'd like to keep them with me in case the power goes out. Either way, this phone is small, light, and easy to set up. All cables are included with the phone. All you really have to do is take it out of the box and unwind the cord from the side of the phone line if you like. Then just plug it in. Very easy to set up. The volume control is on the side.
