    Hello pingu

    I'll move your thread to the 'Home Phones' board.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].

    Regards

    I've bought DECT phones for myself and various relatives in recent years and, biding my time, I usually get a bargain on ebay.

    Even going only for 'buy it now' on ebay, you'll quite easily pick up a DECT phone with answering machine for £20 or less (delivered).

    If you're willing to take a chance on auction items, you'll probably get something a lot cheaper (my best - in late 2005 - was £1.71 + £5.95 delivery for a twin DECT with answering machine).
    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.
