## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can anyone explain the difference between the new improved version and the older version?  They both look identical.**
A: The updated version is slightly larger - the vertical dimension is approximately 1 inch higher, the keypad buttons and fonts are roughly 1 mm taller and the platform for the handheld part seems slightly wider.   You would have to get a better gauge to measure than the changes more accurately, I used a ruler and made only rough readings.  The manual looks identical to me.  The dimension in the comparison charts are misleading, I think they refer to the box size not the phone dimensions.

**Q: does it have a headset jack?**
A: No, none I can see.

**Q: Does this phone need to be plugged into an electrical outlet?**
A: Yes and No.

You can still receive calls and make calls using the keypad if this phone is not plugged in but the display and voice mailbox functions will not work.

**Q: What is the difference between this new improved version and the other version?**
A: Yes, there is just the color difference according to the company rep. Also there are two listings here for the white one, one says renewed in the title and the other does not but they are both renewed, black is new.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Phone is fine. No notification of delivery!
*by S***R on July 26, 2025*

The only thing I was unhappy with is Never Received Notice That It Had Been Delivered! Just curious, WHY?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SET-UP TIP
*by B***Y on June 14, 2025*

This phone has so many features that you will not use all of them. If you already have "No Solicitation" and "Call Blocking" etc. on your present phone, these programs will be retained, undisturbed.The phone comes with a twenty page User's Manual. These set-up instructions are stark step-by-step. No explanations are provided. Set-Up Tip: Take advantage of "Rufus Ai". Usually this 'Ask Rufus" feature provides little more than is already provided by the seller's own "About this item". With this phone, "Ask Rufus" is surprisingly communicative!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice desk / home office phone
*by K***N on August 17, 2024*

This phone is light in weight, has a lighted display screen, answering machine function (which can be disabled easily) a speed dial feature, (10 numbers) and a 25 number directory with names. Floats my boat.Update: The original phone was returned due to what appeared to be a problem with the Speed Dialing and Directory system. The manual states that you may save a total of 10 Speed Dial names and numbers and the Directory has a 25 name and number capacity. IN FACT any / all entries in the Speed Dial memory are automatically entered into the Directory system capacity. This IS NOT mentioned / noted in the manual or the AT&T online manual or instructions. 10 Speed Dial system entries results in a Directory system feature having a capacity of 15 non-Speed Dial names and numbers. A bit disappointing. Other than issue the phone is working fine.
