I am so sick of junk phones!

Am I the only one sick of these sorry excuses for phones nowadays? My grandparents had the same phone for I don't know how many years! These cordless phones just don't last very long. I've had to buy 4 in the last 5 years alone. Everything is so cheaply made. The last cordless phone I bought I got just a few months ago and already I can't hear what other people are saying.

Does your voice drown out the sound of theirs?

I have a Yellow Western Electic 500 I picked up at a yard sale. Mrs B hated it but has grown to accept it.

It is POTS(plain old telephone service) it does have RJ45 plug, but is a rotary dialer....

soon I will turn off my POTS and go 100% cellular and this will be destined for ebay. Here is a similiar phone for $62

I had to find a different phone after the phone I bought was not loud enough. It cost me some money of course and it was pretty good in every other way. So I finally find a cordless phone for those with hearing loss because none of the others will go up high enough, and I have had it less than a year and now the battery will not last long when not in the charger.

Believe me this one is loud enough, it will wake the dead. Phone rang after midnight the other night....jolted us both of us right out of bed. Don't you love it when at that time of night it is the wrong number??? lol Actually, I was glad it was a wrong number cause if it had been the right number it most probably would have been BAD news.

For me, by loudness, I don't mean the ring, but being able to hear the other end talk.
