Review: We have antique furniture, my great grand-mother bedroom set 1905. The color of wood is near the color of our set. I was happy that the cords are a bronzich color and not black plastic. the ringer at low L means off and that is great for us since it's in the bedroom, we hear the other phones in the house anyway. We also bougth it for when there is no electricity. It has a nice ring. The only thing and it has nothing to do with the phone I had to pay customs (35.00$ cnd).
Review: Que dire de ce SPLENDIDE TÉLÉPHONE RÉTRO. De très très bonne qualité, il ne fait pas du tout plastique, bien au contraire. En bois véritable. Certes, cela a un coût, mais croyez-moi, il en vaut le détour et surtout, il embellit votre intérieur par son design, sa qualité. Fermez les yeux et écoutez la sonnerie. Ça rappelle l'époque de mes grands-parents. Disposez-le sur un meuble d'époque en formica ou une desserte avec une déco moderne autour, croyez-moi, cela embellira votre intérieur et mettra en évidence votre sublime téléphone.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you need an adaptor in this phone?**
A: Hello,the phone comes with a standard RJ11 plug and should work with any device/socket that supports this (this is pretty much all of them).Best regards,Frank ZunderCustomer ServiceOpis Technology

**Q: Is the color the same in picture and in actual? Maroon?**
A: Hello dawn,the colour should be the same as on the picture. However, please consider the following two points: 1) the product is made from real wood, which is sealed but not painted over with a colour, so depending on the wood there can be significant colour variation. 2) computer monitors tend not display colours incorrectly, so there may be a difference between what you see and reality.That said, if you use a good screen (or maybe even verify on a second one that everything looks the same) and check out all the pictures for model A and model B (they are made from the same wood), you should have a really good idea what to expect.Best regards,Frank ZunderCustomer ServiceOpis Technology

**Q: If I unplug the base of my Panasonic wireless set,  will this work in the same wall jack. Just get rid if the wireless modern unit?**
A: We have the wall mount phone and I know that my husband changed out the phone jack/wall jack, but I believe it had to do with the way the wall mounted phone mounted to the wall.  The phone we bought just uses a regular old telephone cable to connect the phone to the wall jack.  While I can't advise in regards to connecting it to a wireless set, but it's older, simpler technology and works with a wall jack.

**Q: Is this phone practical for modern use like place on hold, transfer phone calls, mute, conference call, etc?**
A: no, this phone is for talking on the phone with one person, while standing in one place.  But it does still work when the power goes out.
