Review: Great quality build and original sound! - OMG! I'm loving this! When I was growing up in the 70's, my family had a red version of this phone and when I saw this on desertcart, I had to get one. I'm so happy with my purchase. It looks, feels, and more importantly, sounds just as I remembered! There is nothing flimsy about this phone. The chassis is a good quality build, nice and heavy. The handset is slightly lighter than the original phone in the 70's but that takes nothing away from it. The rotary dial isn't as tightly wound as I remember the original being, but again, this is not an issue, as it is adapted for pulse tone. There is also a # and * on the dial for use with telephonic menu options, i.e banks, etc. This has the actual bell as the ringer, which threw me straight back to the 70's when I first heard it. Loved it! There is an ON/OFF switch for the ringer and you have a choice of Normal or High for the ringer also. I keep mine on High, just because I love hearing the phone ring throughout my home :) The sound quality on the line is great. No distortion, no crackling and those I've called on it, have said that they hear me perfectly clearly. I also have a cordless phone plugged into another socket and there is no interference with either. GPO have made a quality product that I'm happy to recommend to anyone who is thinking of buying from this brand.
Review: Some numbers not working when dialing out 3 and 8. Returned. Bought identical one - I love this beautiful red retro landline phone. I received calls without problems and could hear people who called me better than on my previous modern landline phone, the line was very clear. I did not test it till a few days after being received when I had to make a call. Every time you dial a specific number there is a noise, I did not a noise that for number 3 and 8. As a result the number was not recognised and would not dial out. Yet when I dialed out the same number from my mobile it worked perfectly. If it had worked I would have kept this beautiful red retro phone but it is no use to me as it is. Amending this review 2 days after return to say that I have been told I have to wait up a maximum of up to 14 days from the day I returned it to get a refund. After enquiring as to why it has to take that long to be refunded I was refunded sooner. Amending on 16/02. Bought identical phone as loved 1st one that did not work to give it another chance. I paid for that second phone. I paid for the first one too and got refunded as faulty. This second identical one seems to work. I have noticed that when I dial out all numbers work ( # too. Have not tried the * yet ) the noise it makes when dialing a number is a lot faster than on the previous one. I suspect the issue with the first one was mechanical. I hear very clearly while I am on the phone on this one. I posted some photos, it is a gorgious red. The phone line is red and supposed to be connected to the phone but as I have a call blocker I have to connect it to the call blocker instead.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ As close as you can get to a 746 phone, that works on modern lines.
*by J***H on 30 November 2022*

To be honest, our Landline gets little use, being there as much to carry the Broadband as anything else. No need for anything fancy, or expensive, with Caller Display, Answering Machine, or any other of those fancy 'Features' you get on Modern Phones. Boss Lady suggested we get something that was as much a feature for the room, as much as a utility, and this is what we ended up ordering. A Phone that you can make, and receive, calls on. Nothing more, nothing less. Now to the Phone: Simple to 'set up'. Plug the handset into the Base. Plug the Line-cord into the base, and the socket adapter, plug that into the socket. Simples! Weight. Feels a lot lighter than the original 'real' models, but guess that is due to the electronics inside, rather than the original mechanism to generate the pulses. Use. How complicated is a Dial - unless you have fat fingers.. Like me. Only slight issue I observed is the risk of double dialing a digit. Unlike the original models, the number you dial is triggered by the movement of the stop bar when you get to it (which on the original mechanical models was fixed). There is a slight chance, if you have fat fingers, like me, of managing to use the digit twice (which I did), but if you have the handset to your ear (which I did) you will hear the tone for the digit being selected twice, so can abort the call, and start again. Overall, very happy with it, in as much as it is a functional ornament, as much as as primary telecommunications device (our Mobiles are for that).
