AT&TML17929 2-Line Corded Telephone, Black

I got this for my mother at the nursing home. She loves it as it has the one touch speed dial. Has large numbers so easy to read. Works great with the Verizon wireless unit. If moms happy, I’m happy!

ok listen. this phone has survived war and famine within my loud Italian family household. this phone has lived with us since the dawn of time. bros been with us since 2019. i was looking through my dads old amazon purchases and i was like oh what’s this. and it’s our literal HOUSE PHONE. I was like omg no way this thing has survived us for so long. apparently my dad bought this same phone in 2009 and then bought it again in 2019. dude like buy it. it has survived us so long, it will for you too. it has survived falling off the story tower of a desk my mom has, and much more. i can’t think of a better phone get it please. this is a true story i pinky promise, we have so many memories with this phone. anyways get the phone <3

Work perfectly and handfree operation is good (mic and speaker)

Very nice. Let me start off by saying this: I did have a buzzing noise when I first used this phone, but that was as the phone company was setting up my line and having me test it. As soon as they connected the grounding wires to the boxes (outside), the buzzing noise went away.I work from home, so it was important for me to have a good and easy to use phone with a few features. The speaker phone is crystal clear, the handset is as well. I am using a headset through an rj9 adapter so I can use my Logitech gaming headset (much more comfortable than the standard call center style headset), but this phone does have a 2.5 mm port for headsets as well. I am only using one line at the moment, so line 2 stays lit up saying it's "not in use or not connected". Not really an issue; it doesn't distract me or anything. The caller id screen lights up so bright that I don't really mind that the keys are not back lit. I'll be buying a few more of these phones as backup in the near future.Update 2017About a year ago, I found the Headset Buddy Female RJ9/RJ22 to Male 2.5mm Headset Adapter (RJ9-PH25) and have been using my Logitech G430 Surround Sound Gaming Headset with Dolby 7.1 Technology headset. It actually works better than any setup I've had, and the range of sound gives me higher highs and lower lows than a previous setup that included a Jabra amplifier. I no longer use the amplifier and have better control over the volume of my calls (both microphone and speakers).Update 6/2017Yeah, still 5 stars. I have no complaints about this phone. When the power goes out, the screen doesn't work anymore, but the phone does still work. If you work from home, this is the setup I had that worked so well...AT&T ML17929 2-Line Corded Telephone, BlackLogitech G430 Surround Sound Gaming Headset with Dolby 7.1 Technology (don't get the USB version, although this comes with a USB adapter for computer use)Headset Buddy: Female RJ9/RJ22 to Male 2.5mm Headset Adapter (01-RJ9-PH25)VONOTO 3.5mm to RJ9 Audio Adapter Cable - 3.5mm audio female socket to RJ9 Modular Plug Adapter Cable for connecting your own Analog Headphone to chatWith this setup, you won't even need the amplifiers that some of those companies send, customers won't be asking you to repeat yourself and you won't have issues hearing them, and you'll be using a very comfortable headset that's far better than any of the call center headsets out there.

This was ordered for my church. It functions and do what it was designed to do.

I just received this item last week, and other than a Caller-ID issue I am happy with it thus far. It's bigger than it appears to be in pictures, the oval key-pad buttons are quite large (bigger than a nickel, smaller than a quarter), and the snap-on base for desk-top use holds the base at about a 45-degree angle for easy viewing of the LCD display and dialing (but this also makes the telephone appear to take up far more space on a desk than it actually does, and obscures the area immediately behind the telephone.)Pro's:- easy to program;- very clear, crisp sound on both speaker and hand-set;- very clear, well back-lit and easy-to-read LCD display.Con's:- no Caller-ID light to indicate calls received;- in-coming calls fail to display in "New Calls" (the default LCD display) and only display in "Call History", meaning I have to open menu, then call history, and then each specific line number to see if I've missed any calls.I'm pleased with most aspects of this telephone, but the jury is still out on the Caller-ID issue and hence whether or not it will be returned.******Update April 26, 2014: After 15 months of home use, the LCD screen on this telephone is starting to degrade, losing thread-like horizontal lines of display (as has happened on every other AT&T phone with an LCD display I've purchased in the past few years.) If it follows the pattern of my other AT&T phones, within months the LCD display will degrade to the point it will become unreadable. For that reason I'm lowering my four-star rating to two stars, and I would not recommend this telephone.*******Update May 19, 2014: I was overly optimistic about how fast the LCD screen would degrade; in little more than three weeks since my previous update, the LCD screen has degraded to the point that two out of the three lines displayed are almost unreadable. Therefore I am changing my rating to one star from the prior two stars.
