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.

Excellent for what it is

I'm amazed by the number of people these days who own nothing but cordless phones. Now, I like cordless phones; they're an indispensable part of modern life. But, unlike a simple phone like this Trimline, most cordless phones don't work when the electricity goes out. This phone requires no battery or AC power, and has a lighted keypad, and a ringer on/off switch--all of which make it a nice bedroom phone for emergencies. The sound quality is good, and the volume is adjustable.
The best single line phone design ever

I've loved the trimline phone ever since I got my first phone more than 20 years ago. Then, the trimline was a real, Bell System, telephone. Although this phone is clearly not the same as the real Bell trimline phones, it still has the great, comfortable design and the dialpad in the handset, which makes it an excellent choice. I've compared several other trimline phones and this is the closest phone I could find to the original Bell phones.

Northwestern Bell also makes a trimline phone, but the quality and comfort are nowhere near this AT&T version.

If you read the other reviews, you will see that at least one review (dated November of 2004) says that this phone was discontinued. Yet, here we are in late November 2004, and its still around. I'm guessing (could be wrong here) that this phone will be around forever, even though AT&T no longer promotes it on their web-site.

The heavy base ensures that it is unlikely to be dislodged while talking on the handset. All the functions are on the handset, which is well lit, and they more than serve the purpose for a basic phone. I'm very satisfied with my purchases (I bought two at the same time based on the description provided with the phone).
The most perfect corded telephone is now discontinued

Imitated poorly by Conair and Bell South, among others, the classic AT&T 210 Trimline is the follow-on to the original pre-divestiture Trimline telephones. Once available in white, bisque/ivory, a greenish color, and black, it's now discontinued. Every few years the manufacturer of the 210 changes. My first 210s are made by Philips. The newer ones are manufactured by some company in China called "Advanced American Telephones." The quality is the same. I have attempted to use the Conair and Bell South knock-offs and none of them have the solid feel and sound quality of the AT&T models. When we used to live nearby a radio transmitter only the 210 Trimlines could filter out the interference.

Notable features include a weighted base and the current models being sold have a handy cord winder in the base to shorten a long modular line. The handset cord is the AT&T Tuffcord style so it does not kink, sag, and by some magical technology does not get dirty like the cheaper knock-offs. Features that nobody needs on a phone like this include memory redial and wall mounting.

Sadly this product has been discontinued. I have always wanted a red "hotline" colored 210 but they don't exist exept in the form of the old rotary-dial and transformer-powered touch-tone Trimlines installed by Bell before divestiture.

Good slim design, my favorite about this phone is the lighted key feature, since I have it by my bed, it makes it far easier to see the lighted keys for easy visual of the numbers!
