Description
Looking for a tough, no-frills desk phone that just rings and lets people talk? The Viking K-1500P-D ASH is exactly that. This classic ash-colored phone has no keypad – perfect when you only want incoming calls or a direct ringdown line.
It features a built-in volume-adjustable ringer that cuts through noise, plus a hearing-aid compatible amplified handset with its own volume control. Best of all, it draws power straight from the phone line, so there’s nothing extra to plug in.
Whether you’re outfitting a warehouse courtesy phone, a mall kiosk, an ATM area, or a security station, this Viking phone keeps communication simple and dependable.
Our Expert Take: Great for high-traffic public or semi-public areas where you want zero chance of someone dialing out. Pair it with a ringdown circuit and you’ve got instant, foolproof communication.
