Nice phones to use and easy too. The best feature is the speaker-phone on the handset which is operated by the call button. Simple idea, but so much better than other phones with a separate button, because it prevents you from accidentally ending the call. You can also operate the answer-phone from the handset by selecting it in the menu (to play / delete messages).

The first thing that appealed to me about this phone was the practical nature of the design. Other cordless phones I have used have often suffered from a common problem i.e. the keypad buttons come into contact with the cheekbone whilst in use and this results in the inadvertent muting or ending of the call!
The chances of that happening with this phone are significantly reduced by the clever, curved design, which serves to take the buttons away from the face. Aesthetically this is done in a subtle and attractive way, but is nonetheless a simple but effective innovation.
Design points aside the phone scores well too. There is a good level of capacity on the answering machine and for entries in the phone book. Call clarity is also very good, which is, after all, the key purpose of this piece of equipment, but one that is often overlooked by manufacturers who get carried away with the desire to offer ever increasing amounts of other features.
All in all a very good cordless phone / answering machine combo that does its job well.

Ignore the rubbish review below. These phones are as good as any others that you’ll get; if the other reviewer had problems, then maybe s/he should have eliminated problems with his/her setup before blithely blaming the equipment! It’s much too easy to blame equipment, especially when you don’t understand it.
The phones are well made and look attractive. The installation takes no more than a few minutes (mainly taken up with walking round the house to place the handsets), although the quick-start instructions tell you to plug them all in for 24 hours to fully charge the handsets before connecting to the telephone line. The handsets are partially charged on arrival and will work if you’re THAT impatient, but it is better for the battery longevity to do as the instructions say.
The operation of the phones – the use of ‘soft’ keys, the menus etc will be very easy for anyone with a mobile phone to get to grips with. Entering contacts/phone numbers in the phonebook is easy (although a small gripe is that you do have to do this for every handset; you cannot transfer from one handset to another one – but then I don’t know of any phone system that does that!), and operating the answering machine is child’s play. The call quality is excellent, certainly as good, if not better, as any phone I’ve used, and the price point is great.
Altogether, a great phone system. You wouldn’t be disappointed.
