Reasonably priced quad pk digital, cordless phones?

Hi, my digital cordless phones are all acting up at the same time, sometimes they allow me to answer....sometimes not. Sometimes they let me dial out....sometimes not. I guess they cld be 4 or 5 yrs old now, time for a new set, but looking for something around £40 mark....or less wld be even better.

Any suggestions gratefully received ;)

    I think you're going to be pushed at £40 for a quad system I cant find anything that I'd be willing to recommend at that price I'm afraid even on eBay

    EDIT: This is the closest, decent brand, I can find, no answerphone though.

    Take a chance on Ebay - I paid £20 for a triple set Onetel 8500 and, 2 years later, picked up a quad of the same model 'for spares or repair' for £8.99 and ended up with 7 working handsets, 5 charger pods and 2 working bases/answering machines!

    Now I just need a bigger house so that I can use all 7 handsets!
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    Thanks for the replies guys, I know it was a big ask on such a small budget, but im just thinking maybe the trio wld be enough for me as we do have a corded phone with answering machine built in, in living room already.
    My kids used to use the phones and id nvr find a handset, but as older teens now, they dont use house phone, just their mobiles :D
