Opis Technology 60s Cable - Retro Rotary Landline Phone - Vintage 1960s Antique Style Desk Telephone with Real Metal Bell - Red

It’s so easy and looks amazing 🤩 we love it.

Came next day. Quality phone, very happy. Ringer is great, sounds just like the old time ring, call quality loud and clear, basically normal as one would expect. Hooked up to an answering machine, all is great!

I was happy to see these phones become available in the US. Having spent considerable time in Germany, I've had the chance to try out both the wireless and corded models several times there at the homes of a friend and an aunt over the past couple of years. Both these phones worked flawlessly in Germany, so I was eager for mine to arrive here in the USA. (I bought one of each.) Setup was a breeze on both phones. The included setup procedures are clear and precise. Naturally the corded model was the simpler of the two to setup. It was literally "plug-n-play". The sim card model involved only a few extra steps. In only a few minutes, I had both phones up and running. Once setup was finished, the phones literally behave (as advertised) like vintage 60's rotary dial phones. Just pick up the receiver and dial. It really is just that simple. (That simplicity makes it ideal as a gift for an elderly relative.) While I use the sim model as a replacement for my home phone land-line, I love taking it with me to the coffee shop. It's a real conversation starter! (OK... There's a pun hidden in there somewhere.) I'm giving my elderly aunt the corded model, as she has never liked push-button phones. I checked out it's functionality on my old (still active for now) land-line and it works fine. Now that I have the sim model to replace my old land-line phone, I'll disconnect the line and save the monthly fee! One thing worth mentioning is the "feel" of the phones. They have that same overall substantial feel that the phones in the 60's had. The handsets feel perfectly hefty in the hand and not at all like a plastic toy. If you were born after the advent of push-button phones, you missed out on that "satisfying feeling" using a rotary dial provides. There's just something cool about the feeling the rotary action gives that is indescribable until you give one a try. In case you are wondering, the dial (on both models) includes an extra "#" finger hole (the one noticeable concession to modern technology), making it fully compatible with dial-up services, such as those used by banks and other businesses. (Just a side-note edit here... When I was a 10 year old kid in the 60's, I loved to play with the phone dial. I'd not always let the rotary dial return by itself to its fixed position, but rather would yank the dial backwards as hard as I could to see if I could speed up the process. Yes... I should have had my "ears boxed" for that. The phones back then were virtually "kid proof". While the dials on these retro phones function well enough, I don't think they would stand-up quite as well to the type of abuse I would dole out when I was a kid. Just use the dial sensibly and you should have no issues.) There's not a whole lot more to write. Both the corded and sim card models are simple devices that do the jobs they are designed to do. If you are looking to simplify your life a bit and miss the look/feel of the old 60's phones, you would be hard pressed to find a better product for the job. Just one last comment here. The phones have no digital display at all, eliminating the possibility of texting. I personally like this authentic nature of the phones. Were you really texting with your 1960's phone? "Don't think so", in the parlance of our time. For me the relaxed nature of the phones is reward enough. I can't imagine trying to send a text message from a slow rotary dial anyway. So I cannot fault the phones for that lack of a display screen, but rather applaud them for keeping to the authentic simple classic theme. (Yes I also have a smart phone... I refer any texting to that device for which it was designed.) Happy dialing!

The color is phenomenal! The function, however, not so much. Wherever you place it has to be crazy quiet to even begin to hear what the person on the other end of the line is saying. And that person on the other end? Same thing. Ridiculously difficult to hear! I hate thinking that I could have paid a fraction of the cost for a less aesthetic phone and received more functionality; especially when we are now having to consider just that. Kids are still enjoying it though and trying to make the best of an unironic, "can you hear me now?" type of conversation. Update! The call quality is only worsening as time goes on and so I took off another star. It's only been a month and we are regretting this pricey purchase more and more. It's a bummer but we are already looking for a replacement.

Very nice and works well. Has a nostalgic feel to it although i remember it heavier when i was a kid/teens.

Bought in July. By November, the microphone stopped working. Sound is not clear either due to static. Very poor quality for the price. Didn’t last long.

Great phone, plugs into your wall jack or router and works basically as VOIP. Only issue is the ringer: no way to turn down the volume and it’s LOUD. Great if you’re outside the house; bad if it’s on your desk right next to you. Otherwise it’s perfect and exactly as advertised.

Nice looking and functional phone !

Sturdy, very retro as that is what we wanted. Brings back memories to hear the ring tone. Good quality

J'adore, même la sonnerie est vintage !!!

Das Produkt besteht aus durchsichtiger, billiger Plaste und war schon beim Auspacken kaputt!!!! Sehr schlechte Qualität!!!! Ich habe mich sehr darauf gefreut und bin sehr enttäuscht!!!

Ein Schmuckstück auf dem Regal das immer wieder die Aufmerksamkeit der Besucher auf sich zieht. Wenn sie noch dazu erfahren, dass das Gerät voll funktionsfähig im Einsatz ist, wollen sofort alle ausprobieren.

Das Opis 60s cable hält, was es verspricht. Es hat ein schönes Design, eine echte Wählscheibe und eine mechanische Klingel. Es wirkt ziemlich robust und hat eine gute Sprachqualität. Ich vermisse mein altes DECT-Telefon überhaupt nicht. Zwar muss ich mir Telefonnummern jetzt wieder aufschreiben oder merken, aber das ging früher auch. Dafür gibt es jetzt keine lästigen Störgeräusche mehr in meinen PC-Lautsprechern und ich muss mir auch keine Gedanken mehr darüber machen, ob mein Akku noch voll ist. Ein schöner Nebeneffekt diese Telefons ist, dass jetzt keinen Anrufen in Abwesenheit mehr hinterhertelefonieren muss. Wer mich zuhause nicht erreicht, hat eben Pech gehabt und soll es später noch einmal versuchen. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich hier den wirklich sehr guten Kundenservice. Ich hatte anfangs das Problem, dass das Telefon immer nur zwei Mal klingelte (es hatte wohl etwas mit meinem Splitter zu tun). Also habe ich den Kundenservice kontaktiert. Dieser reagierte sehr schnell und ging auch individuell auf meine Reklamation ein, was mittlerweile nicht mehr selbstverständlich ist. Ich hatte mich schon so sehr an anonyme Standard E-Mails ("mit freundlichen Grüßen... Ihr Kundenservicecenter") gewöhnt, dass ich wirklich überrascht war als ich noch am selben Abend eine persönlich verfasste E-Mail bekam, die mit einem Namen versehen war. Ich hatte also sofort einen Ansprechpartner, der den Vorgang vernünftig und kundenorientiert bearbeitete. Eine Woche nach meiner ersten Reklamation stand bereits ein Ersatzgerät auf meinem Tischchen, das einwandfrei funktioniert. Der nette Herr vom Kundenservice hatte mir übrigens von Anfang an die Entscheidung überlassen, ob wir den Kauf direkt rückgängig machen, oder ob ich es mit einem anderen Gerät probieren möchte. Ich musste mir mein Rückgaberecht also nicht "mühsam erkämpfen". Davon sollten sich andere Unternehmen ruhig einmal etwas abgucken. Dafür gebe ich "Opis" fünf Sterne und ich kann das Telefon jedem empfehlen, der Retro-Feeling zu einem akzeptablen Preis bekommen möchte.
