Does it work?
This phone works.
I plugged it into a telephone jack a received a dial tone.
I made a outbound telephone call to my cell phone. Sound is good.
*NOTE: inbound call ringing untested. I'm unable to determine if it can receive calls -- TBD. As of right now, no confirmation with ringing for inbound calls. The prior ownership had this placed on a small antique desk by the kitchen at the estate sale plugged into the wall socket.
Please review each photo carefully for wear and usage. This item came from a local estate sale and was in the previous owner's home office for many years. Send me a message if you have questions or would like additional photos.
