Neat product for the nostalgia factor but the pricing is atrocious.
A plastic receiver retails for $10 or less. The exact one they are selling is $18 (https://telephones.att.com/pd/200/210M-Black-Trimline-Corded...). They want $75.
VoIP is ~free (Facetime, Google Meet, WhatsApp, Messenger and a hundred others).
Saying "but it's for kids!" is a business strategy, sure, but charging $75 for the device + a $10/mo subscription for no reason is a bit too far.
