I've never been satisfied w/ anything less than a genuine Bell-made or AT&T-made Touch-tone phone. I've had nothing but bad luck with those Radio Shack, QT&T, etc. phones. Give me a REAL Touch-tone phone, with those familiar beeps and boops, anyday. Who'd you think invented "Touch-tone" anyway? Of course, it has fallen into everyday use, like other corporate trademarks: xerox, etc. And I'll take the old mechanical bell ringers, too! Randy Borow Rolling Meadows, Il.
