Perfect for seniors needing simple, loud, and clear calling. Works during power outages. Includes speakerphone and Audio Assist for boosted volume Review: Very good speaker phone quality - This is a big button phone with amplification and clear speaker phone. The integrated answering machine is easy to set up and can be used for call screening, since the outgoing message and incoming voice are heard at all times. There is a subtle beep for waiting messages as well as a visual indicator. The large display for caller ID also shows a scrolling menu for setting up and controlling the phone's functions. Great quality all around. Review: Good Quality, Excellent Sound, Easy to use, Functions Well, No EMF - I wanted a corded answering machine to avoid EMF from cordless phones and cell phones, and after buying several different stand-alone answering machines that had crappy sound quality and features, I bought this corded phone answering machine. I have been very pleased with the quality and features. The large display is easy to read, the function buttons operate and are laid out logically, sound quality of call recordings, the greeting, and on the handset is excellent, and plenty loud, even for those who are hard of hearing. There is a large easy to use volume control button on the phone face, so it's easy to adjust the ringer, recording, handset, or speaker phone volume on the fly. Initial setup is intuitive enough that I didn't need the manual to set it up. The screen has amber colored backlighting when a call comes in or when you press any button on the phone. It's easy to read even from a few feet away, but not sure if color blind people may have a problem with the amber backlighting. The power button is a large red lighted button when on, and the message indicator is a large red flashing button that is easy to see from a distance. The phone does NOT require batteries, and since I have it connected to a hard-wired landline, it uses the land line's phantom power to keep settings when we have frequent power outages/blips, so I don't have to reset anything after a power outage. I don't know if it will do this on a VOIP line. You can make calls during a power outage, at least with a hard land line, but the display won't work, unless you have the phone's power supply connected to a UPS. You can record your own custom greeting or use an auto announcement. One caveat, if you pick up a call from an extension, the phone shows it as a missed call on its screen, which I couldn't care less about since I only care about messages, but you can easily scroll through the call log on screen to see any missed calls. Also annoying, if a call comes in and the answering machine picks up and then you pick up on the phone or an extension, the recorder will not shut off, and broadcast your call through the speaker. The only way to stop this is to unplug the power supply. You can wall mount the phone. I see in other reviews references to the instructions being only in Spanish, this was not the case with my phone. ## Features - 25-Minute Digital Answering System — Never miss a message again. Record up to 25 minutes of incoming calls, outgoing announcements, and memos with easy instant playback, selective save/delete, and the ability to skip or repeat messages right from the handset or base - Extra-Large Tiltable Backlit Display — See Caller ID names, numbers, time, and date at a glance — even Call Waiting. The oversized LCD tilts for the perfect viewing angle, reducing strain for seniors and anyone with vision needs - Oversized Big Buttons — Large, high-contrast keys are easy to read and press — ideal for elderly users, arthritis, or low vision. Simple, frustration-free dialing every time - Hands-Free Speakerphone — Talk and listen comfortably without holding the handset. Perfect for multitasking, note-taking, or including the whole family in the conversation - Reliable Corded Design with Audio Assist — Works even during power outages. Audio Assist temporarily boosts volume and clarity for better hearing, plus an extra-loud ringer with visual flashing indicator ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0764KJ4RK | | Answering System Type | Digital | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,277 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #9 in Landline Phones | | Brand | AT&T | | Built-In Media | CD4930 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Landline telephone systems | | Conference Call Capability | basic | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 14,559 Reviews | | Dialer Type | Dual Keypad | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 7 years | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Item Dimensions | 14.57 x 11.26 x 5.98 inches | | Manufacturer | VTech | | Material | Plastic | | Mfr Part Number | CD4930 | | Model Number | CD4930 | | Multiline Operation | Single-Line Operation | | Number of Batteries | 4 AA batteries required. | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Recording Capacity | 25 minutes | | Telephone Type | Corded | | UPC | 650530031175 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year | ## Product Details - **Answering System Type:** Digital - **Brand:** AT&T - **Color:** Black - **Dialer Type:** Dual Keypad - **Item Weight:** 2.5 pounds - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 14.57 x 11.26 x 5.98 inches - **Material:** Plastic - **Number of Batteries:** 4 AAA batteries required. - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Telephone Type:** Corded ## Images ![AT&T CD4930 Black Corded Phone with Digital Answering System, Caller ID, Extra-Large Tilt Backlit Display & Big Buttons - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CieiOfbqL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can it be used as a wall phone?** A: Yes. 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good speaker phone quality *by A***R on July 11, 2026* This is a big button phone with amplification and clear speaker phone.

This phone had most all the features I wanted and some I didn’t need. First requirement was a large adjustable backlit display, which this phone has. The display is easy to read and can be adjusted for perfect viewing and the backlite is excellent. The speakerphone is very clear and the volume is adjustable likewise with the handset. The buttons all work smoothly and long numbers can be dialed before picking up the handset or speaker phone, a nice convenience. This unit has a built in answering machine which I don’t need so I keep it shut off. I have several small complaints with this unit. The most annoying one is it has no hold button, which I use to allow others to pick up calls for them. The other is on the display. When the phone is idle the display shows the time and date which is great, but it also displays the model number of the phone and can’t be removed. Why do I need to see the model number of the phone constantly displayed? This is the reason for the 4 star raining. I would still recommend this phone despite the few annoyances. ## Frequently Bought Together - AT&T CD4930 Corded Phone with Digital Answering System and Caller ID, Extra-Large Tilt Display & Buttons, Black - Power Gear Coiled Telephone Cord, 4 Feet Coiled, 25 Feet Uncoiled, Phone Cord works with All Corded Landline Phones, For Use in Home or Office, Black, 76139 - 25' FT FOOT BLACK PHONE TELEPHONE EXTENSION CORD CABLE LINE WIRE WITH STANDARD RJ-11 PLUGS --- ## 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.co.za/products/61978726-at-and-t-cd4930-black-corded-phone-with-digital-answering](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/61978726-at-and-t-cd4930-black-corded-phone-with-digital-answering) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
