cordless phone that won't wake my baby up!

merdoom

hello!
i bought myself a shiny new cordless house phone (Binatone Symphony 2210 TAM 24.99 from argos!) and as much as its a good phone you can't turn the base ringer off, only the handset ringer. seeing as my 10 month old now wakes up at the slightest noise, whenever it rings he is straight awake and crying, so i have taken to unplugging the phone when he is asleep. i either forget to plug it back in or miss an important call at night.

i need to get a similar (cheapish) phone that i can either turn down very very low, or off but with flashing lights or something, needs to have a screening type answerphone (that you can hear people leaving messages on) as i hate answering the phone if i don't know who it is.

Any ideas?
