Cordless phones - please recommend

ezman

Hi, I think cordless phones are a real pain to buy
I've bought quite a few and there seems to be a big variance in call quality.
Have any of you bought any that you're actually happy with? Looking for a twin set. Anybody seen any special offers?
Any recommendations gratefully received.

Thanks,
Ezman

i used to have a binatone quad pack, they were a nice small phone but crap call quailty, just bought bt synergy 4100, call quality not too bad but weird things keep happening- i dailed my friend number in the phone reconised it and displayed her name on the display but phone somebody else up!!! i've programmed it to ring with a certain ring tone, it rings once then switches to a loud beep!!!
what i did like about it though is thatit has a sim card copier built into it,hey presto all your numbers are in the phone memory!!

I've had a few sets - binatone was rubbish, BT not much better.

Currently got a philips triple set and they are very good - excellent call quality.

Depends on how much you want to pay. These are good.

I purchased a pair of Binatone E3300 DECT cordless phones during the great Argos RO sale from a couple of years back and they've been the best set of phones I've had. I'd have no hesitation of buying Binatone again.

Over in the What's Going Cheap site, you can buy a Binatone basic DECT phone for the sum of only £5.92!

Not a looker I agree but still good value nonetheless.

The same site's also got other phones at great prices too. I'd thoroughly recommend them as I've bought plenty of bargains from there before!

That site is only good if you are buying a few things.
Nearly £10 delivery charge for the phone and even that much if you just ordered a bottle opener!!!

Binatone a lot better these days - I had one for a few years and it was awful but recently I bought a new one hoping they had moved on and was pleasantly surprised - it does all that it should and sound quality is very good - it also looks good (the picture doesnt do it justice).

This is a single handset but im sure they do a double set if you look.

If I can put my 2 pennies worth in then I'd say that no matter what brand of phone that you choose, make sure that you buy a digital (DECT) one.

You'd be amazed at the amount of people listening in on other peoples conversations (and also at the things that get said!!) if they have an analogue handset:eek: :eek: :eek:

Thanks for the responses, going to buy some at the weekend (still don't know which one yet). Some of the phones say they are digital but not whether they are DECT. Are all digital phones DECT?

woohoo_postingid

Yes - DECT = Digitally Enhanced Cordless Telephone

Cost me about £50 new from Argos. But go instore and look at their clearance catalogue as they sometimes have these sort of things on offer if end of line.
