Northwestern Bell 76510 Corded Speakerphone with Caller ID Reviews
Received item in 3 days, great price (best I could find)and with free shipping and no tax it was a no-brainer.
You don't use the M numbers at the top (they are just for the one-touch), you use the regular keypad numbers below. It's simple, but not mentioned in the manual. To all those who buy a Northwestern Bell phone and find that nobody ever answers the VTC customer support line after much searching we found that you can reach an outfit called Unical, which sells these phones and offers the VTC support, at (626) 965-0218, in City of Industry, Cal. It has all the other features we want, and I just hope it lasts longer than what some of the other reviewers said. A nice lady there told us that people inquire all the time about how to program the two-touch numbers on the 76510. So I guess we'll keep it.
I had plugged the phone into a phone line just to see how it operated. Somehow I had the impression that the phone had a "Message Waiting" LED indicator. The phone I had before used the same light, but it flashed green for missed calls, and flashed RED if there was a message waiting. I never even got so far as to hang the phone on the wall before judging the message waiting 'issue' cause for stuffing the phone back into the box. This phone makes no distinction between the two. But what they don't tell you is that the same LED is used to indicate "missed calls" - which to me makes the LED totally worthless.
After shopping around for a standard phone with callerID and no answering machine (no power outlet nearby), I came across this phone that had good ratings and was reasonably priced. The other problem is that three out of our four family members complained that they could not hear the caller very well. The buttons are big enough and the speakerphone works good. I bought two of these phones and both locations I put them were too low to see without crouching down.
I like the look and feel of the phone. I could not try that because the unit did not come with an AC adapter, plus I have no power outlet close enough to reach. Of course, that depends on how high your phone jack is, and how tall you are. So, I had to take both phones down, and put our 15 year old ones back up.
However, when the unit is wall mounted, the LCD display is angled down, and is hard to see unless you crouch down to look at it. I don't know if plugging the unit into a power jack would have made any difference.
I actually like the phone quite a bit. I was always put on a queue, waited for a couple of minutes, and then offered a voicemail option or dropping the call. It works pretty well in almost every regard. Don't buy Northwestern Bell Phones unless you are sure nothing will ever go wrong.
I tried calling the customer support number. However, this item is advertised as having 20 number memory, which is 10 "one touch" and 10 "two touch". I could never get an answer. I left messages, and never got a call back. No joy.
I (twice) tried recalling immediately after getting booted. Overall, a nice phone and a good value. I have not been able to get the two touch feature to work. I tried for an hour. Sound quality is very good, buttons are easy to find and use, and the feature set is pretty good.
