Need phone with soft ring

I need an home/home office phone that has a soft ring.  My current
phone has a loud obnoxious ring that is loud even at the lowest
setting.

Is there something that has some more options for a softer ringer.

What would be awesome would be a phone with a soft ring option, a
switch to mute all ringing entirely, and a light or LED that would
flash when a call came in (in case you put it on mute).

also, I am talking about a normal house wired phone.  Needs to be under $40.

thanx in advnce,

Sherpaj,

Would you consider the "Buy it Now" feature on EBAY? Or, EBAY in
general? All of the types of phones that would work for you, new, that
I could find were $50.00 to $200.00 USD.

I have some located if you will take EBAY or "Buy it Now" on EBAY.

I know last week when I looked, there were at least 8 in your price
range, so these phones are not rare items.

If this answer requires further explanation, please request
clarification before rating it, and I'll be happy to look into this
further.

Have you considered a Digital Cordless?

All mine have pleasant rings and the one here on my desk provides
features that allow me to change the ring volume; the ring melody and
the earpiece volume.

It cost about £40 here in the UK but I would expect it to be a lot
cheaper in North America.

It's a Vtech Vfone A101 but I'm sure that you can get similar stuff where you are.

put something soft to speaker,and choose low tone melody(free solution)

I am lookin for corded phone, not cordless.  Do these still apply?

Yes, buy it now, on eBay will work for this.
