Amazon.com Product Description:
A popular and affordable telephone, the 210 from AT&T is designed for those who don't want hassles or frills, just a basic phone that's reliable and easy to use. Simple corded operation means you never have worry about misplacing a cordless handset, and the phone's sturdy construction means it's designed to last.

You can place the base on a convenient surface or easily mount it on the wall, saving on counter space. A 12-number memory dial feature lets you store your most frequently called numbers (up to 21 digits)--nine speed dials plus three emergency one-touch dials that are easy to program. A directory card is provided to help you keep track of all your memory dial settings. A redial feature lets you quickly call the last outgoing number (up to 32 digits).

Three ringer settings (off, low, and high) and three handset volume levels permit customization. Switchable tone and pulse dialing methods are also provided. The illuminated keypad helps you operate the phone even in darkly lit areas, while a prog/mute button on the handset lets you hear the other party while muting your side of the conversation. An excellent value, the 210 also comes backed with a one-year limited warranty.

Rating : - Just in case the power goes out, which it does from time to time here.
The great thing about this phone is one simple fact: it's not digital. Why is that great? Because in emergencies where the power has gone out in your home you will not be able to use the nice gadgetry of your digital phone because, lo and behold, there will be no electrical power from which to run it.

But, the Trimline is not digital. It's an analog phone that runs simply off the standard phone cord. No other electrical power is necessary, and it will work even when the power is out provided that no local phone lines are down anywhere.

And that's a plus no matter how you slice it. My parents are aging and I'd like the ability to contact them in case the power goes out so that I can make certain that they are ok.

Phones are great for business or personal use, but if they don't function when you really need them then they are not worth very much, are they?
