AT&T CL2940 Corded Phone with Speakerphone, Extra-Large Tilt Display/Buttons, Caller ID/Call Waiting and Audio Assist, Black

Update: 5/15/20 - After using this phone for a year, I have raised my overall rating to 5 stars!! This is not a fancy phone, but it gets the job done well at a very low cost. Mount it correctly and you will have a great phone with lots of features, a display that you can easily read from 6 feet away, and sound quality that is excellent.All I really needed was a caller ID display on a phone in my shop. We get about 8 or 10 robo calls a day, and I just wanted to be able to screen calls without running to another room to see a caller ID. This phone is great for that. The display is clear and the quality of the audio is pretty good. I would have given the phone 5 stars, but the quality of the audio on the speaker phone is not good. Yes, you can tell what someone is saying, but the speakerphone audio quality is poor. If the quality was better, this would have been a 5-star review, but then this would likely have been a $60 to $100 phone. This phone was what I needed.Update 3/3/19: I forgot to mention that the phone mounts very well on a wall. It has the standard two pin spacing slots on the rear for a wall plate. If you look at the side view photos submitted by people that say the phone does not wall mount, you can see that they are using only one of the two available mounting slots. If the instructions are followed, there is no problem using a wall mount.

Nice corded phone. The display is not bad, it could be brighter when it's not lit. But it lights up when the phone rings so it's very easy to read then. Everything feels like decent quality.

Great phone! Just remember it is a regular phone with no built in answering machine as was a model I bought previously. It works with the voicemail from my provider though. The numbers are easy to read on the keypad and the display as well. I have had no issues with this phone so far. It's black so if you don't like they color you need to look at another phone. It is not heavy and will easily fit on a table or desk.

I searched a LONG time to find a quality CORDED phone that has speaker, big buttons and easy to use speed dial numbers. My father has cognitive/dexterity problems that progressed to the point he could not dial standard/cell phones well (or remember to keep them charged).This phone has been a Godsend and has allowed him to make calls when he otherwise would not have been able to.Beyond ease of use, my dad speaks very softly and both the handset and speaker phone have EXCELLENT microphones. Sometimes it is tough to tell when he has switched from handset to speakerphone.Stop looking now and buy this phone!! You won’t regret it.

The phone display looks great but the model number CL2940 appears on the display when the phone is idle. I thought I could change the default display but this cannot be changed. Other than that annoying and meaningless model number, the display is large, buttons are large, and the installation and operation is simple and straight forward. I only wish the saved Speed Dial numbers showed the caller ID name but only the phone number appears.

Works as stated. No issues thus far .

1. When you pick up the handset, the hook switch does not readily pop up and connect you to the phone line. It looks like the lever that the handset rests on is not properly placed on the chassis of the phone and rubs against it or stays down completely. You have to tap the phone chassis to dislodge the hook switch or use the hands free button to answer the call. I am not sure who I need to contact about this. Since I have several years working in the telephone industry and I am the only one that will use this set, I can put up with this little problem. If this problem appears on other sets, those operators may not be able to understand what is happening. Over time this problem will wear through and clear by itself.2. Sound quality feature. I live 5 miles out in the country. Usually a cheap phone will pick up all of the background hum that is induced into the telephone cables. This phone seems to keep all of that noise at bay.3. Volume control is ok, but I don't need to turn it up really high to hear anything.4. Battery Life. Since I have just purchased and set this phone up, I am not sure how long the battery life will be.5. My main reason for purchasing this set was the large caller ID display. Since this is on my local phone number, I want to be able to see who is calling me before I answer the call.6. Reason for over all rating was lack of customer support.

The battery compartment design is better than the CL4940 design. Easier to load and to catch leaking batteries before they ruin the product. The plastic quality is superior to overseas knock offs. Extra-Large Tilt Display is the Best for viewing.
