    I can't find anywhere if it has caller ID, I even looked on Philips site and the model number Dect 4131 draws a blank. Must be pretty old as a few sites are doing it for only a little more.

    I should go to Specsavers lol, thanks, I didn't scroll down enough. I might order one.

    Oh, and get 3% back through Quidco

    EDIT: I decided not to get one after the comments, even though it is a different model number. I was about to confirm my order but checked back. There's nothing wrong with my Panasonic, I'd have ordered one for no reason really. Thanks to the op anyway :)

    I've got two of the 511 series Philips phone.

    Same phone body.

    There are a few problems with these:

    1 - they're not very loud, even on max volume
    2 - battery life is poor. Forget to put it on the base and it will be flat within a few hours.
    3 - they're quite hissy
    4 - they're just a bit small. An extra inch in length would be useful(as ever!!) :D

    Hardly old, as it does SMS and has a colour display.

    If I remember correctly this can be combined with up to 8 other GAP capable handsets.
    Pity it doesnt have an answering machine built in.

    Quite possibly, but there is a big difference between £40 for 2 handsets and £110

    I believe they take 4 handsets, i really must try and find the manual again online
