For a reliable home phone that is great for everyday use and in emergencies, be sure to use the slim VTech Trimstyle Corded Telephone in White. This simple phone is designed to save you space, with the keypad buttons on the inside of the receiver and the screen and featured buttons on the back. Take advantage of the caller ID to avoid telemarketers, or use the call waiting function to easily switch between calls. This phone can still be used in a power outage in case of emergencies, as basic phone operation runs off telephone line power. 3 AA batteries will power extra features like Caller ID, Clock, LCD, but are not required to place or receive calls. 3 Speed Dials keys are perfect for those emergency numbers with the touch of a button. Ringer Volume can be turned on/off with the slide of a button on the edge of the phone, if you need the phone to be silent. 3 levels of handset volume level can be selected (low, med, high) to your preference. Switch from Pulse-Rotary to Touch Tone dialing with the press of the Star (*) key if you have a legacy older phone line but still need to type in numbers into an automated service like banking. 80 Caller ID memory shows the last 80 calls, up to 13 digits of their phone number, and up to 16 letters of their name, with date/time stamp. Perfect for keeping a record of who called recently, and letting you call them back with the touch of a button. Last Number Redial, Mute and Flash round off the extra features this Trimstyle phone offers.
