Sony IT-B3 Corded Phone with Speed Dial (Black)
The IT-B3 features 10 Number Speed Dialing, which provides simple two-step dialing of the business and personal numbers you call frequently. Last Number Redial redials the last number called at a single touch. Memory Pause places a momentary pause in the memory dialing sequence to allow time for accessing an outside line or obtaining a second dial tone when using an alternative long distance carrier. Instant Tone Switch allows you to access computerized dialing services (including bank-by-phone or alternative long distance) even if your service is pulse dialing. Adjustable Ring high/low volume, or off helps prevent unwanted interruptions. The IT-B3 is hearing aid compatible. Wall-mountable, no bracket necessary - direct wall-mount.
The Sony IT-B3 corded telephone combines convenience with simplicity, offering easy speed dialing, last number redial, and lightweight portability in a sleek and simple design suitable for nearly any room. Setting up the Sony IT-B3 is as quick as connecting the phone cord to your wall jack and the phone's base unit. The IT-B3 easily stores 10 phone numbers for speed dialing; we successfully completed the four-step speed dial setup after just one fast check of the instruction manual. This corded phone also has programmable memory pause capability (called PBX dialing by Sony), a feature allowing speed dialing when you must call via an outside line, last number redial, and mixed pulse-tone dialing. Ringer volume and pulse-tone switches are on the side of the base unit. We found the IT-B3's handset easily gripable and particularly comfortable because of an ergonomically inspired finger rest just above the mouthpiece. The phone's modest dimensions let it easily fit on a crowded countertop or desk, or on a narrow wall space, making it especially practical for home office, kitchen, or workshop use. Our only complaints where that the speed-dial function is accessed with a button labeled Recall, perhaps easily confused with the Redial button. Also, a receiver volume control would enhance convenience. Sony's dependability and limited one-year warranty make the IT-B3 a sensible choice for everyday phone use. Pros: - Easy, two-step speed dialing of up to 10 numbers
- User-friendly memory programming
- Lightweight and easily portable
- Simple, compact design
- Matches any décor
Cons: - Poorly labeled speed-dial button
- No receiver volume control
The Sony IT-B3 corded phone is a no-frills reliable communication solution when all you want to do is talk. The base unit offers desk or wall mounting, and the corded handset fits comfortably in your hand or on your shoulder. Dialing is done through the base unit, which offers up to 10 programmable speed-dial presets, as well as last number redial. The IT-B3 is hearing aid compatible, has an adjustable ringer volume control, and works with most PBX systems in cases where you need to dial for an outside line. Whether you're looking for a standalone phone, or perhaps a backup phone that doesn't require power during outages, the IT-B3 is a simple and low-cost choice. What's in the Box

Sony IT-B3 Corded Phone with Speed Dial (Black) Reviews
this person has gone out of their way to correct a defected item. am very happy. they are very customer orientated.
I can't even remember when I bought this phone but it's probably lasted longer than all my previous telephones combined. This thing just keeps on going. A great phone for those that don't need all the bells and whistles.
A really amazing piece of engineering for that price. This phone cost me US$30 when I first got it (+ 8.25% tax), and that works out to US$3/yr.
I bought this phone way back in 1994 when I was first a student, and it still works ok today.
If such longevity were found in new electronics products, vendors hoping to make money from replacements would go out of business. In addition, this phone has survived countless knocks on wood, concrete, ceramic-tile, carpet, and other floors.
My friends have commented that the sound quality on their side is excellent when I use this phone. Only disadvantage is that besides having a memory of 10 stored-numbers, redial button, tone/pulse selection and 3 ringer-volumes (off, low, high), there arent any other features to crow about.
If you're looking for a hardy, durable, easy-to-use phone that's reliable and lasts a long time, and are not looking for fancy features, this phone would be the perfect one.
The ringer switch allows the user to set the ringer to off, low or high. I would not hesitate to purchase this item again. The price is also very reasonable. Other features include last number redial button as well the ability to program 10 speed dial numbers. Another switch allows easy changes between touch tone and rotary dialing. Voice quality is excellent; it is light and can be used either on desktop or mounted on the wall. I have owned this phone for over two years and I have been very pleased.
