Crosley CR56-RE 1950's Payphone with Push Button Technology, Red

I love this phone. I use it with a cell 2 Jack so my mobile can ring it and I can ring through my mobile using it as a regular phone. I just wanted something nostalgic and as a prop in a theme room that I have. overall the volume seems good. the clarity seems good. it's super easy to use so functionality is perfect. the ringtone is loud. the phone quality is sufficient considering it's a replica made of plastic and I love the cha-ching. when I drop coins in there, I use it as a little piggy bank for that reason.

beautiful piece

Amazing land line phone. I purchased it to basically cover the not in use land line and its perfect. built in to ust hanf on existing connections, its great! ALthough i dont actually use the phone part, i do use the coin piggy bank and its a great conversation piece!

Came today. First thing we did is test it. Phone does work, It receives calls. It also makes calls. Three switches, (Ringer On/Off), Dial (Tone/Pulse) and Ringer (Low/High) Phone does ring, however I did not notice change in the low/high option? So not sure what's up with that? The Handset I do love. It is heavy and fees original. The key to the cashbox feel flimsy like it wants to twist bend. And the worst thing is the quarter we tried in the pay slot, dropped as it should, but missed the hole and landed somewhere trapped in the cabinet. It took me about 30 minutes to shake it out of there. Hopefully no one else tries that one. I did see the reports of coins getting stuck. The reports didn't make regrets, as we like it on our walls (photos uploaded) Price was slightly high for a phone that doesnt let folks have fun dropping coins in the slot to reminisce how these phone once were, before cell phones. Overall my wife and I are happy we bought it. It is NOT our main phone. Better than looking at the plate on the wall.

This is absolutely amazing, works marvelous and brings back old memories of using payphones definitely get it if you're thinking about it because it's worth every penny

I envisioned a red lan-line phone in my kitchen to match the vintage style I have created. I just purchased and received this red pay phone. It fits my kitchen wall and theme perfectly! This phone brings back all of the fun childhood memories I had calling my grandma and classmates. The only difference is it looks like a rotary phone but it has push button features instead. Not a deal breaker for me. The sounds of the coins dropping into the phone bank is also an added feature I remembered and loved. The phone looks heavier than it really is, but the receiver is the heaviest part of the phone. I hope the specialized features on this phone last throughout the LONG lifetime of the phone. We shall see. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.

I've always wanted a payphone as a home phone. Although this one wasn't rotary like the older ones, it definitely gives the look and feel of one so I settled. We haven't had many spam callers hit yet, but it felt like a horror movie when it rang at the struck of midnight!! Lol. It works great, though. It works with the X-Link device as well for anyone who uses a mobile device (we have a mobile line/device dedicated as our home phone line). I may still try to go on the hunt for the rotary version of this, if I can find one, but this'll work for now!

I read many negitive reviews about this phone being cheaply made but its always been a dream of mine to own a phone like this so I bought it and I'm PROUD TO SAY I'M GLAD I DID it is pricey but the quality is there. It may be made of plastic but its made of high quality materials the handset alone is heavy I had a hard time lifting it to place it on my wall mount and I work out daily so you know its sturdy. Snaps right onto my wall mount and you're all set to go no fancy caller id or answering machine just a perfectly beautiful simple phone that I will treasure forever!!!!!!!
