It can be used as a wall phone. It can be used as a desk phone or a wall phone. **Q: What are the "2 non-standard batteries required"? Will phone work in a power failure?** A: That description about "2 non-standard batteries" appears to be in error.The manual for this phone is available at http://cdn-media-att.vtp-media.com/ecp/documents//product_Product/1889//8359/CL4940_UM_6.pdf. If you look through the manual carefully, you will see that it specifies a power adapter, but makes no mention of batteries.On page 13 of the manual, it says:This telephone provides minimal functionality during a power failure. When AC power is not available, the screen is blank and many telephone features do not function. Only touch-tone dialing and handset volume adjustment are supported. The telephone uses power from the telephone line to enable you to make and answer calls using only the handset and dialing keys. **Q: can you record your own voice for this answer machine or do you have to use pre-recorded message provided by mfg.** A: You have a choice of using the automatic announcement or you can make your own by pressing Menu Select. Press it again and select Answering System. Then press ID or DIR to select "Record New" The system will tell you to announce your message, then press 5 when you are done. Then your own announcement will play. To listen to your own announcement again, scroll to "Play Current" and press Menu/Select. You can always change your message or go back to the recorded announcement. Just do things in reverse. The recorded announcement is a permanent part of the system, so you don't have to worry about it being deleted. Hope this helps. Regards, Paul **Q: Is the LCD display light always on or just when callings are coming through or in use?** A: The light is only on when a call comes through and in use. Once you hang up it turns off. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good choice and good value *by W***N on May 25, 2026* I bought this land-line phone for my business and personal needs. It has caller ID, which allows me to identify unknown callers seeking to sell me stuff. The screen is easy to read and the set-up took only a few moments. Good value and a very good choice. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect phone *by D***E on March 17, 2026* We love this phone. Everything works great and all you have to do is connect it to the phone line and outlet. The caller ID worked right away, the answering machine works great. I would recommend this phone to everyone. Very aimple to figure out and the numbers are big enough to read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not perfect, but a pretty good phone *by P***) on January 29, 2016* I bought this phone as part of a reorganization to replace a failed answering machine and separate caller-ID display, and add a caller-ID blocker. Overall, it's not perfect, but it's pretty good. The back-lit display is nice and large, and fairly easily readable, but unfortunately because the keypad is *not* backlit, you still need to turn a light on to use the phone. The display is also not as sharp as it could be, and honestly, its viewing angle is terrible. This is really cheap first-generation LCD technology. The four-line AT&T 944 at my desk has a much sharper display ... but unfortunately it's not backlit. The phone itself is nice and easy to use and set up, once you learn the quirks of how its menu system works. Audio quality is not the best I've ever used, and again doesn't come up to the AT&T 944 on my desk, but it's good. I futilely wish that any mobile phone I've ever used was this clear. A proper headset jack would be nice, but if you really want to use it with a headset, Plantronics and Sennheiser both make headsets that will connect in place of (or, using a switch box, as well as) a standard handset. The recording quality of the built-in answering machine isn't the greatest, either, but it's adequate, and better than several stand-alone answering machines I've owned. Quality and construction are good, and it feels reassuringly solid. I would have preferred it in black, because virtually all white plastic tends to yellow with age, but only the variant of this phone that does not have the integrated answering machine is offered in black. I haven't yet taken the time to set up its speed-dial numbers or dialling directory. Installation and connection are trivial, as they should be, and it comes well packed but without gratuitous extra packaging for the sake of packaging — and no destroy-to-open blister packaging. All in all, you probably wouldn't want to use this as an office (even a home office) phone, but it's ideal for your nightstand, with phone, answering machine, and easily readable caller ID display all in one tidy unit. Two Technical Thug thumbs up for AT&T on this one. ## Frequently Bought Together - AT&T CL4940 Corded Standard Phone with Answering System and Backlit Display, White - Ubramac 15 Feet Long Telephone Extension Cord Phone Cable Line Wire, with Standard RJ11 Plug and 1 in-Line Couplers and 15 Cable Clip Holders-White - SOUTHWESTERN BELL S60067 White Handset Cord 12 Feet --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1270742-at-and-t-cl4940-corded-phone-with-digital-answering-system](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1270742-at-and-t-cl4940-corded-phone-with-digital-answering-system) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-07-16*
