Cortelco 250000-VBA-20M Black Corded Desk Telephone for Office & Home - Reliable Landline Phone with Caller ID & Speakerphone

In today's world of pocket computers and video conferencing, this phone provides a refreshingly simple and straight forward experience. Anyone born before 1990 will probably remember similar phones as commonplace years ago. I mostly use my cell phone, like most people today, however we decided to get a land line in case there was ever an emergency and we could not be reached via cell (dead battery, spotty service, on silent, etc.).This phone is a joy to talk on. The receiver has a satisfying heft and the buttons a nice tactile click when you press them. The sound quality is good and the volume control feature works well. Best of all, this thing just works. The battery doesn't run out, it does not lose service, and it does not freeze right when you need to make an important call. Plus, the cool retro vibe makes me feel like Don Draper when using it.Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a phone that just works.
