It’s super super cute ! I love it ! Makes the little chime noise when you put money in . It’s a great conversation piece . The buttons are clear to see

Authentic as can be great for man cave

This is absolutely amazing, works marvelous and brings back old memories of using payphones definitely get it if you're thinking about it because it's worth every penny

In most respects this phone looks very much like the real thing. Finish is excellent. From a distance of more than a few feet the only thing that gives it away as not being the real deal is the dial (and even that could be easy to miss). The hook switch is really light duty plastic and the part the receiver sits in isn't quite the right diameter to fit the earpiece but the receiver does sit in it just fine. I'm apprehensive as to how long the hook switch will last.As some others have mentioned, the ringer is very poor. It is a high pitched electronic beep type, rather than a bell, as one would expect on a nostalgia replica such as this. To add insult to injury the electronic ringer is so weak it can hardly be heard more than a few feet away, even on its highest setting. My solution to that was to install a single gong ringer out of an old "Princess" phone in the space below the coin box (if you remove the laminated steel weight one of these bells just barely fits in that space). Obviously, not everyone would have the capability of doing that (let alone the required parts).Another solution to the ringer problem might be to install one externally in its own enclosure on the wall just below the phone.

Amazing land line phone. I purchased it to basically cover the not in use land line and its perfect. built in to ust hanf on existing connections, its great! ALthough i dont actually use the phone part, i do use the coin piggy bank and its a great conversation piece!

I've always wanted a payphone as a home phone. Although this one wasn't rotary like the older ones, it definitely gives the look and feel of one so I settled. We haven't had many spam callers hit yet, but it felt like a horror movie when it rang at the struck of midnight!! Lol. It works great, though. It works with the X-Link device as well for anyone who uses a mobile device (we have a mobile line/device dedicated as our home phone line). I may still try to go on the hunt for the rotary version of this, if I can find one, but this'll work for now!

The telephone has a pleasant, nostalgic appearance. This was purchased as a gift, and was obviously a return. The coins were not falling through. We had to open the phone (which was neither easy, or appreciated), and discovered numerous foreign coins stuck in the slot. After removing them, we found that only dimes fit through the slot. All others jammed up. The speaker continually falls out, and this requires opening, and re-clipping the piece. Would’ve preferred a new product, considering the price.

I ordered a land line for my home to install this to have it be a working payphone. Finding someone to put land line is was hilarious. It is only $20.00 now but was hooked up to a modem. My grandchildren can't love it more. It is so funny to see them try to figure out how to use it. And even when I get incoming calls it is epic the sound. It is so nostalgic. Even though the coins are just for show I have a jar of them next to the phone so everyone gets the full experience of how to use a payphone. Very cool
