Most of us, if not all of us who have used a Trimline/slimline type phone, or for that matter any phone where the dialing buttons are on the handset, are used to having an audible tone as we push the number buttons during the act of dialing. This way we know that the phone has registered the button push. Unfortunately, AT&T has decided to buck the convention and set the key press volume so low that the only way to hear it is to have the handset next to your ear. This leads to a different problem – one cannot see which buttons are being pushed. I called AT&T's tech support to see if there was a way to increase the key press volume and the answer I got was "This phone does not have that option". This is the dumbest thing under the sun!!
