Best Corded Landline Phones of 2025

"I really appreciate this nice home phone that offers so much for the price. I love being able to turn the ringer on or off, and the light on top for incoming calls is a great touch. The volume adjustment, mute, redial, and memory for phone numbers are very handy!"

"I bought this phone for my elderly dad, and it initially worked perfectly with the volume control and ability to program phone numbers. Unfortunately, I ran into issues as the programmed numbers stopped working, and now it’s no longer functioning at all. It’s disappointing because it’s just been sitting on the table, not misused or dropped."

"I purchased this phone as a backup during a power outage/hurricane, but I found out it won't work if my home has fiber optic instead of the old copper wiring. I wish I had just gotten a second cell phone that I could charge with a solar power bank. Other than that, it works fine."

"I needed a phone that works without electricity, and this one is perfect. Just plug it in, and it functions great in my basement. Good value!"

"I bought this phone because it was well-priced and made by AT&T, a reputable brand. After adding a DSL phone filter, the sound became crystal clear. I definitely recommend both the phone and the filter!"

"I was looking for a wall-mounted phone and found this compact model. It fits my Ooma system perfectly, and the conversations are clear. The backlit keypad is a nice touch, and I love that it doesn’t need batteries!"

"I purchased two of these landline phones at a fantastic price, and they arrived brand new without any defects. Every feature you could want is included, and the answering system is easy to program thanks to the large LCD display and intuitive menus."

"I have five of these phones throughout my home. The large screen display and Dictionary Add feature are my favorites. I initially expected the caller's display information to show on all five phones, but that's not the case. Still, it's definitely worth the money."

"We bought this phone for my kids' great-grandpa, and he absolutely loves it. The buttons are big and durable, making it easy for him to see and hear everyone clearly."

"After using this phone for a year, I’ve raised my overall rating to 5 stars! It’s not fancy, but it gets the job done well at a low cost. The caller ID display is clear, which is perfect for screening calls without running to another room. I would have given it 5 stars, but the speakerphone audio quality is lacking."

"This phone has everything I needed: caller ID, speakerphone, and wall mounting! I noticed some complaints about the speakerphone, but mine works great after I replaced the batteries. The wall mount is stable, and the display is easy to read with adjustable angles. However, I had some trouble with the HOME and LOCAL AREA CODE settings, which I had to fix with a fake area code to avoid dialing issues."

"I bought this phone for my grandmother, and it’s perfect! The large buttons make it easy for her to use, and the display shows the numbers with names. The only minor issue is it requires batteries for the screen, which aren’t included."

"I'm very pleased with the VTech VG208 DECT 6.0. It's a reliable home phone system that combines a corded base with a cordless handset for great convenience. The sound quality is clear and interference-free, and I find the large display and buttons very user-friendly. Setting it up was straightforward, and I've had no issues with battery life. I highly recommend it for its value!"

"This phone has worked out well for us. We've purchased similar models before, and they definitely deliver good quality for the price. No complaints here!"

"I found this phone easy to set up, though I had to adjust some settings for my area code. Once I figured that out, everything worked fine, including the phone book. The setup was simple, and I appreciate the large screen and sound quality."

"I actually use this phone in my shed. Caller ID is a huge plus; I can know who's calling, even when I'm out there. It's also comforting to have a hardwired landline for emergencies."

"I searched for a wall phone with caller ID and found this model online. It arrived quickly and was well-packaged. The design is nice, and it feels sturdy. Caller ID works well, but it shows numbers in a US format, which took some getting used to."

"I've had this phone for about six years. It has a small size and is quite affordable! Even though the buttons on the back were annoying initially, I got used to them. I bought an extra just in case they stop making this model!"

"I found the phone easy to use, with clear functionality for each button and a ringer adjustment feature."

"I was disappointed to discover that the display lacks a backlight and is almost unreadable. It's a decent phone for calls, but the display is pretty much useless."

"The phone meets my basic needs, but I struggled with the tiny buttons. I'm not impaired, but dialing was a challenge, and the caller ID requires batteries which are hard to read."

"I replaced a 30-year-old Panasonic phone with this new model. I love the Call Block button, which has significantly reduced our scam calls from 22 a day to just 2-3. The voice clarity is excellent, making it easy to understand messages, unlike the previous phone we had to discard."

"Having used Panasonic phones for over 30 years, I found this one to be the worst experience ever. The sound quality feels cheap, the phone cord is too short for use while typing, and the batteries die quickly despite the manual suggesting using Panasonic batteries. It feels like the brand has really lost its touch."

"I appreciate the easy setup of this phone; I only needed to set the clock, and it synced across all units. The bright displays are a huge improvement over my previous Vtech phones. I've just started using it, but so far, I'm giving it a 5-star rating!"

"I had a buzzing noise initially, but it disappeared once the phone company finished their setup. Working from home, this phone's clear speakerphone and handset are crucial for me. I use a Logitech gaming headset that connects through an RJ9 adapter, and it’s incredibly comfortable. The caller ID screen is bright enough for me to overlook the lack of backlit keys. I plan to buy more of these phones soon!"

"I was genuinely surprised by this phone's solid feel and clear audio. Unlike many other phones, it has a nice texture and the buttons are spacious. The mute function doesn’t add any unwanted noise, which is a huge plus for my conference calls. This doesn’t feel like just another plastic phone; it’s much better than what I expected!"

"After trying various services, I finally found this phone for my home office. It has excellent sound quality and works seamlessly with my digital service. The two-line feature offers flexibility for future needs, and I appreciate the large keys and volume control. Now, my clients can hear me clearly during calls."

"We absolutely love this system! Setup was fairly easy (even at age 88!). On the first full day of using it, it blocked FIFTEEN spam calls, which is typical for us. As senior citizens, we are constantly targeted by scam calls, usually showing up as 'UNAVAILABLE' on caller ID. This system has effectively stopped ALL scam calls. I highly recommend it and just wish we had made the switch sooner."

"After years with my old Panasonic phones, I decided to try the AT&T 2 handset system. The audio quality is good, and the phones feel sturdy. However, I find the idle display a bit frustrating; it mainly shows which handset I’m using and the time/date is tucked away. I preferred the larger display from my previous set. The initial battery charge took about 16 hours, so I’m curious how it will perform over time."

"I was looking for a phone that had an easy setup and a simple way to block calls. Since getting this set, the number of calls we receive has decreased significantly. We were overwhelmed with calls, but this system has put a stop to it. The call block feature works perfectly with just a single button press. Overall, the setup was straightforward, and I find it to be a very nice phone."
