    My wife was keen to buy this low radiation phone but I could not find positive reviews of it on the web.
    Its worst fault is it Rings up to 4 times when you Hang-Up the last call, indicating it is ringing out a new number which is very disconcerting to say the least.
    This was relayed back to their office who said
    A.'You need to speak to Henry who has just popped out'.
    Q. 'Then who are you?'
    A.'I'm just the receptionist, taking messages!'
    Q.'My wife called last week and was told the same. How many people are working here?'
    A. 'You need Henry or John - I don't have their phone number'
    Q. 'Can you ask them to ring me?'
    So much for Customer Service - I am about to return the phone if nothing happens.

    I have got the low radiation phones and had the same problem with it ringing when you hang up, so i rang them up told them the problem and they sent me out a little devise (free of charge) that you plug into the bt socket and it sorted out my problem.

    I bought their crappy Ranger phones which lasted just about long enough to be out of warranty. I notice that they no longer sell them.

    I doubt that I saved anywhere near the cost of them.

    I was thinking about getting a new dialler but I'm loathe to throw good money after bad.
