Wild Wood 746 Rotary Design Retro Landline Telephone, Black

Loved: this phone is iconic and really ups the cool retro feel to any decor. When people figure out it actually works it’s so fun watching my grandkids use this phone! It’s also wonderful that it’s brightly colored, I tell my kids and anyone who enters my home “if you ever need to call 9-1-1, THIS is the phone you call on” it even has the same ring as an old school phone.. love love love!!

Love it! As soon as it arrived I took down the cordless phone in the family room. One less EMF radiation emitting device in my home. Other two phones we have are slim line corded. We are willing to deal with the inconvenience of not being able to walk around and talk on the home landline but benefit from the EMF radiation reduction. The ring is a tad too loud so I placed a felted sticky pad over the the area at the bottom of the phone where all the grooves are and the sound is now softer. Left a couple open. Works for us.

I just received this phone after months debating on whether or not we needed to reintroduce a traditional landline phone back into the home. After several power outages with recent thunderstorms I decided we did need it. Once we finally had the new lines hooked up and ready to go, I ordered this phone to use (as well as the French Blue) in both my living room and bedroom. For the most part, this phone is exactly what an analog phone is supposed to be and is exactly how I remember it being as a child, and up until 10 years ago when we moved and I decided no more home phone for us. It isn't the clarity and preciseness we hear now on our mobile phones, and most of us have gotten quite accustomed to that clarity so much so, that we forget that traditional phones used more or less the same technology since inception. While digital phone lines have progressed in that respect, corded phones on analog lines really haven't. So if you're looking to pick this phone up and have the clarity you get when you're connected to a call on your cell phone, or internet based lines, you're going to be sorely disappointed. I happen to like the old-fashioned sound and feel of the phone, so I'm pretty happy with it. The phone, again, rings the way phones rang back then. And the Normal and High settings were the options back then too; there really wasn't an "off" or "Low" or even a "medium" setting for the ringer, and sometimes not even for the receiver volume either. In essence, it rings loud. To some, it seems louder than to others. To me, it's a normal, regular ring that doesn't bother me. It might scare the socks off of me if I'm not expecting a call, but hey - it happened back then to me, too. There is no caller ID, unless you hook up a caller ID unit to it, so just like the old days, you take your chances with whomever is ringing you up, and deciding whether to answer or not. Luckily for me, my phone company provides voicemail, so after 5 rings, it goes to vm, and I then have the option of checking and/or calling back. The one thing that is chancey for sure, is that circular round Redial/Emergency button in the center of the dial pad. One wrong toggle and you're either redialing or calling 911, so you have to be super mindful when dialing otherwise one wrong move and who knows who you'll be reaching out to. All in all, I like this phone as it brings back memories of my childhood, of my teen years yakking it up on the phone, and of having my first house phone. It isn't particularly heavy like the original phones, but it's functional, and has its own ideal weight which makes it a great piece to have and even use as part of your decor, if that's what you're into. Either way, it's a nice addition and reminder of days of old for me and my family.

Phone is literally the exact color in the images provided. If you have funky color settings on your monitor, I could see how you’d expect something else. Color is exact and the phone is super nice, HOWEVER there is NO ringer on/off capability as stated in the description. The only switch on the phone controls ONLY the volume of the speaker on the handset (ie how loud you hear the person you’re talking to). This inaccuracy is why I’ve taken off a star. Please fix your description! The phone does right quite loudly — just FYI. So do not buy thinking it’ll be non-disruptive or jarring

I love this phone so much! it is a land line and though the buttons aren't the ones you swing to select, you just push the buttons I still love it! I love the look, the color, how it rings and sounds when speaking lol!

I was scared initially when I purchase this product because everything made today is so horribly cheap and made without any love whatsoever but to my surprise this phone isn't. I purchased this phone along with one made in Germany at 2X the cost because I didn't know what to expect from this phone. To my surprise I was more Happy with the overall quality of this phone over the more expensive phone made in Germany. Excellent quality and works great even over VoIP. Compliments to the makers. Thanks

Muy bonito, precioso color .Compra totalmente recomendable .

Einfach unbeschreiblich old school!!! Es klingelt in der richtigen Lautstärke, also nicht zu laut, man kann es gut hören. Der Klang und die Lautstärke des Anrufers im Hörer sind fabelhaft. Man braucht übrigens KEINEN Adapter zu kaufen! Einfach den Stecker am Kabel vom selbigen mit dem Klickmechanismus entfernen und das Kabel ohne Stecker z.B. in die Fritzbox stecken. Oder einfach einen Stecker für die deutsche Telefondose an das Telefonkabel "klicken". ;-) Wahlwiederholungstaste vorhanden, keinen Kurzwahlspeicher. Aber das finde ich überhaupt nicht schlimm. So lernt man wieder Telefonnummern. Ich habe einen digitalen Anrufbeantworter (kostenlos) bei meinem Telefonanbieter eingerichtet, den ich dann über das Telefon anwählen und abhören kann. Bei Stromausfall ist Telefonieren möglich! Alles in allem: absolute Kaufempfehlung!

I am quite happy with the purchase. At the price point it is a quality product with the functions as described. It is a cute set sitting in the living with the vibrant mustard yellow.

El teléfono es precioso, es lo que estaba buscando desde hace ya tiempo y encima barato. Estoy muy contentaaaaaaaa! !

Fab!! A proper telephone that works without all the usual background noises which you get from a Dect phone! I've had several of those and they always fail ...usually just after the guarantee runs out. This phone looks brilliant..our's is Mustard coloured and just looks wonderful. It's solidly built...someone on here said that it was 'plasticky'??? Well, yes, it IS made of plastic, but so was the original phone from the 60's and this one feels very similar to me..solidly made. I love that they've kept the original rotary dial appearance but with the advantages of a push-button pad. I also love the bell ringer! Really takes me back. This is tremendous value for the money and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Get one!
