AT&T 953 Big-Button Phone with Caller ID – Customer Reviews
Excellent Phone!!
-
I ordered this phone for my home office and was so pleased with it that I ordered a second one for our kitchen to replace the cordless phone that always seems to be in my daughter's room. The display is very readable and all of the features seem to be very intuitive. I think that this phone would still be a great value at twice the price!

I wanted a phone with caller ID/call waiting, a good screen with plenty of information, and intuitive use. That's exactly what I got. I haven't had *any* of the poor reception problems that another reviewer indicated (thatperson might have just gotten a bad apple).The handset is verycomfortable on the face, the sound is clear (people have even asked me"Have you gotten a new phone?You sound great."), and the use ofthe Caller ID, Call waiting, and volume controls is very intuitive.Also,the screen is lit and stays lit, so in the dark, you can always see who iscalling you, even if you miss the first or second ring (One of my CID/CWphones doesn't light at all, and my other one only lights up for the firstring- so this new phone is much appreciated.)Something else I like iswhen you pick the handset up, it shows the last number you dialed and asksif you want to redial it- if you do, you just hit redial.No more guessingwho you called last when you hit redial.
My only complaints are asfollows:I wish the cord from the handset to the base were longer- it's soshort that I can't stand next to my nightstand and talk on the phonewithout lifting the base off the nightstand and I'm hardly Shaquille O'neal(but this is obviously a problem easily remedied).Also, with my othercaller ID/Call waiting phones I can punch the number into the phone withoutpicking up the handset, check it on the screen, and THEN pick up thehandset, causing the phone to automatically dial the number through(if thatmakes sense).
Those are minor complaints- I highly recommend this phone,especially for the price.

Good Phone BUT ...

I loved the large buttons however the quality of reception has much room for improvement.At times the phone fades in and out during a conversation and makes you think you were cut off -- yet you weren't ... it's just thebad reception of the phone.Overall it's not a bad phone, in fact one ofthe better phones I've owned.Just wanted others to be aware of thereception problem.

Best Phone I've ever used!

I really love this phone and depend on it to not only tell me who called, but when they called.I find the quality to be first-rate, and LOVE thelarger keys because they allow my less than nimble fingers to dial it rightevery time.
