[Music] Hey you and welcome I'm Mr Berry in this whole video we're going to be talking about the
trim line phone here the model 210 from AT&T now even though it does say a t on it it does
work with any landline service provider that you may have you may wonder why in the world
would someone who's really focused on the newest technology like EVs and computers and all that why
would I be looking at a phone from the 1980s come and dance on our floor take a step that is new
well there's a good reason for this right now when you have a current phone even a landline phone
that's plugged into the wall for power and also plugged into your landline when the power goes out
the phone doesn't work but this phone here which I'll have a link to it down in the
description it actually works when there's no power to the house so when there's all
the lights are out there's no power the phone will still work because it receives all of its
power from the landline and that's it there's no batteries in it there's no
other things to plug in alright so let's take a look at this phone you and I come on [Music]
so this a t Trimline telephone comes with a 13 number memory it has a redial function and
one touch memory buttons comes with a backlighted keypad and a flash function to dial the previous
number and 10 speed dial numbers that you can program into it it also comes with a mute button
along the side we find the volume control for the headset so here we see it goes loud and
softer according to where you place it and down in the lower left hand corner of the
keypad we also have the ability to change the ringer we can have it off low or high
in the center we see the program button that also functions as the mute button
and on the last button here it can generate a touch tone and this telephone will work for with
internet phones or VoIP as well as regular landline connections it doesn't require any
AC power supply so all of the Power is coming from the phone line itself this is true whether
it's a landline or an internet phone it comes with these connectors and the base and the top
it is very simple to use
this is a typical connector that's been around for a very long time
so on the base you actually have the connection right there so to plug it in all you have to
do is line it up and then press it in and it will snap and be locked in place
all we got to do is line this up and plug it in
and it's nice secure connection okay with this all I got to do is line it up
and then it's nice that you can wrap this around
and you can feed the line all the way through the top where it has a little opening
and after connecting to your landline the phone is ready to use and the base comes with rubber feet
so it doesn't scratch up your wall or your desk these feet also help it stay in place
now one thing I would like to mention is that this phone does weigh less than the old traditional
Trimline phones from 1980. the phone from 1980 would weigh in for the base at 128 grams this base
weighs only 54 grams so it's about half the weight the headset is about similar in weight with the
old 1980 phone headset coming in at 83 grams and the brand new Trimline headset weighing in at 79
grams so the headsets are about the same you won't really notice the difference there but the base
being half the weight that would be noticeable now the reason why it's so much lighter is because it
does not use the old style mechanical ringer it's using an electronic ringer now speaking
of the ringer the ringer has three settings off low and high let's hear the low sound now
let's listen to the ringer set to high
now if you wish to mount this on the wall the distance between the two holes is eight
centimeters or about three 3 20 of an inch to install the telephone on the wall jack you
must reverse the small tab beneath the directory card this tab holds the headset in place when you
want to hang it up remove the directed card and plastic cover use a paper clip to lift and remove
the headset tab then simply reverse the tab and reinstall it as seen here after filling in your
directory card and reversing the headset tab the rest is a snap step number three plug in the line
cord into the jack on the underside of the base step four install the telephone base right on the
wall jack and then set the dial mode switch then connect the headset to the telephone and check for
a dial tone this Trimline phone looks very nice on the wall and holds the headset very secure
the phone does come with instructions how and how to set up the One Touch dialing memory
functions and the speed dialing and now for the voice quality over the headset it is excellent
I was able to hear perfectly and the people I were talking to heard me perfectly as seen here
and now for the price on Amazon you can usually find these anywhere between 12 to just shy of
twenty dollars foreign so there you have it you now know more about the Trimline phone here the
model 210 from atnt now as you heard there it has very good ringer on it it has good voice I've
been using it and testing it out there it works beautifully and what's really nice is you can hang
hang it on the wall or put it on the desk there wherever you need it so I do recommend it and
it is a great little phone there hey if you like these types of videos please give it a thumbs up
