My late grandmother had this exact phone in her apartment. My aunt and uncle got it for her in 2012, and she used it up until she moved into a nursing home in 2015-16. It was a great phone. We probably still have it in our garage, as we brought it here when she moved out of her apartment (we never used it here).

It's not a cordless telephone.

@Xyspade 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, there is a piezo ringer in there just for power outages. Many AT&T corded models were like this. It's nice that it rings on "high" since during a power outage it could be heard through most of the house, considering it's likely this would be the only phone someone would have that works during an outage. I have one, and the screen is spoiled. Interesting that this one isn't, but I guess it can happen.

@techwithtyler20 3 жыл бұрын

Almost every corded or corded/cordless is like this. There are a few exceptions such as the Panasonic KX-TG9471/9472 which doesn't work during a power failure.

@JordanU 3 жыл бұрын

It does have a pretty good volume to it. It would have been neat if they added the option to switch between the piezo ring and the software ring to give two different ringers to choose from. I tend to prefer the piezo ring myself.

Haha. I was half expecting to hear "GOOOOOSE!" when you were recording louder greetings. I have a 2-line AT&T corded/cordless system (TL88102, I think) that has two different ringers, as well. Meaning that when it's unplugged, a piezo ringer will activate. I don't really like the sound on that one. Can't use the handset on the base when it's not plugged in, though; makes sense, needs power to go from line to line.

@techwithtyler20 3 жыл бұрын

Are you saying it will ring but you can't actually talk on it? I think it will work on line 1, unless you're referring to the cordless handsets.

@MrMrdavis98 3 жыл бұрын

@@techwithtyler20 That's right. On the corded handset, when the base is disconnected from the adapter, I still cannot talk on it. It will hold the line, but nobody can hear me and I cannot hear them.

@techwithtyler20 3 жыл бұрын

@@MrMrdavis98 May be a defective set. Usually 2-line phones that work during a power failure will allow you to fully use line 1 from the corded receiver.

@techwithtyler20 3 жыл бұрын

TL88102 is cordless-only. You can find your model number on the bottom of the base or in the battery compartment of the cordless handsets.

@JordanU 3 жыл бұрын

I've seen a few situations where corded phones that require an AC adapter will not operate without it. The only thing I can think of is the voltage supplied by today's VoIP lines isn't as high as it is on a proper copper line, and that additional voltage is required for it to operate.
