Cheap Digital Cordless Twin Pack

Options
Hello, I bought some cheap digital phones a while ago but they are rubbish. The sound quality is appalling. :eek:

Looking to replace but want some good ones for up to £60.00 (for the twin pack).

Wondered if anybody had any pointers, was looking at BT phones but not sure on sound quality.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers! :D

    £6 not bad, it's about what Royal Mail would charge for a standard parcel delivery.

    We used to be charged £6 + VAT per item back in the early to mid 1990s and that was a highly-reduced rate as we sent out hundreds of items a day. So £6 today is pretty good going.

    If they are anything like their old BT Diverse X10 range then they are excellent, sound quality is superb.

    You do have to be careful with BT phones as they use different manufacturers for different models/ranges.

    The phones that were made for them by Siemens are some of the very best phones around.

    Some of phones made by some cheap and nasty Chinese firm for BT are dreadful.

    I bought these at the weekend, seem like good phones, they have an answer phone, handsfree and good sound.
    Yes i must must agree with Flea the ringtones are just a bit annoying !
