Ornin Y043 Corded Landline Telephone for Home, Caller ID/Call Waiting, Easy-to-Use, Speaker, Display, Desk Phone Only (Black)

I bought this phone to use with my Vonage VOIP account, and am very pleased with it. It's better than the AT&T phone that it replaced, even when it was new. And Amazon got it to me fast, too. I don't need a lot of features, and I found the phone very easy to set up. Voice quality is crisp and clear in both directions. It's an nice-looking, simple phone with a convenient form factor for a desk or table phone. The display is very clear and easy to read, especially in comparison with the phone it replaced. One caution, not even a quibble, because it's about the ad copy, not phone itself. One part of the write-up says in big letters, "No Batteries Required". In the "Features and Specs", it says "1 AAA batteries required." Don't believe either: it requires THREE AAA batteries. I don't mind -- my old phone required four.

Works. Easy set up. No complaints

This phone is terrible, do not buy. You have been warned. When you hit the hold button to place a caller on hold, this phone blares an annoying tune out of the phone itself, in the room where the phone is. Not just on the line for the caller on hold to hear but out of the base of the phone. Who would want that feature on a phone? Also you can not turn off the ringer on the phone. It is not an option. It is flimsy and feels like a toy. The clock on the phone only gives the option for a 24 hour clock. So, if you prefer military time than you will like the clock but if you prefer to see your caller ID let you know you had a call come in at 8:25 and not 20:25, then be aware of this. Also, the caller ID does not let you know who is calling for a call coming in on call waiting. There are a ton of other things about this phone that are either bad, weird, annoying or a some combination of those. I could go on but this phone has already taken up enough of my time. I will be returning this phone.

My new office phone. I dropped two phones that were supplied to me. Too embarrassed to ask for another one, but didn’t want to spend much and this fit the bill. Works great!

Lo compre para llevar a mis padres y funciona muy bien

Does not light up or tell me who is calling

Justo el tamaño que buscaba muy recomendado para uso en el hogar

I tried using this phone for a few days but ended up returning it. It displays military (24 hour) time which is not a big deal, but other issues weren't acceptable. The volume on the speaker is so low, no matter choosing a louder volume, that you can't hear the person on the phone and they can't hear you. I stood right over the phone and it's like everyone is talking in a barrel.

El manual de instrucciones esta en inglés. Una verdadera lástima que no esté en lengua castellana. Deberían facilitarme una en castellano e informar a los/as de este detalle. Gracias .

Me gusta mucho fácil de usar

The phone arrived on time and was easy to install, it works great and is clear and easy to use.

Ich habe dieses Telefon gekauft, um es mit meinem Internetrouter zu verbinden und so die Möglichkeit zu haben, eine Telefonnummer anzurufen. Das Telefon funktioniert einwandfrei und der Klingelton ist laut genug. Endlich ein Telefon, das keinen Akku benötigt und mit dem ich im Notfall zu Hause anrufen kann, wenn haus Handy ausgeschaltet ist.

This telephone was supplied with the appropriate UK plug along with a "junction box" that turned out to be a socket with two wires that weren't connected to anything. Apart from this useless box, the phone seems well made, having an LCD screen with adjustable contrast making it readable whether the phone is laid flat or wall mounted. The blue backlight is a nice bonus (this requires 3 AA batteries to be inserted). The display has two lines separated by a status line (with indicators for new and repeat calls, mail and day of week). The top line shows the current date and time (which the phone is able to get from the exchange) plus a count of received calls. The bottom (slightly larger) line normally shows the last caller number, but changes to show the current dialled number when making a call or the selected number when scrolling through sent/received call lists. A speaker and microphone are present to allow for hands-free use and ringtone and volume can be changed (but not silenced completely). 4 volume levels and 8 ringtones are available (a separate ringtone can be set for certain incoming "VIP" calls). Callers can be put on hold which results in a truly ghastly electronic version of Beethoven's "Für Elise" - this would seem fitting punishment for the increasing number of scam callers but is played over the loudspeaker unless another extension is active (to preserve sanity, use another extension to speak with the scammer, press "Hold" on this phone to start the torture and then set both units aside). Up to three alarm times can be set and the phone can be configured for pulse dialling (it is set to tone by default). The 17-page manual is minimalist but clear in explaining setup and usage, with good English and logical layout. This telephone has a few unusual features: * a key-operated switch which allows you to restrict outgoing calls to local numbers, or prevent them altogether. The key is only a small plastic tool, so this is unlikely to offer much real security; * line-tapping protection - all this does is play tones when another extension is picked up, stopping it from making calls. You can still monitor calls made with this phone using an extension though; * Auto-IP - a prefix can be set up which is dialled before any number starting with 0; * a calculator - but the functions (+, -, x, ÷) are too widely separated, making it awkward to use. Downsides: * surprisingly, given all the other features, there are only two memory buttons to store phone numbers (it does store the last 5 numbers dialled and last 30 incoming calls); * no mute control; * long delivery time (shipped from China).
