need new DECT phone

in Phones & TV
At present I have 3 BT Studio 1000 DECT cordless phones with answer machine that all have problems with their display, missing LCD segments.
I also have a Binatone DECT phone that I managed to get to work with the others, its display is actually blank plus the volume of the speaker is very low.
Slight overkill for only 2 people but saves looking for a phone when it rings
Only one of them can actually display a readable number.
So I have decided to splash out on new phones.
New phones must have large easily read display, preferably not LCD segments, loud volume, large buttons and easy to use and not cause interference to my wifi network.
And not lose the time info for the answering machine if there is a momentary power failure, even my alarm clock radio keeps the time.
Also easy to transfer calls between handsets to save shouting downstairs "its for you".
Any recommendations?

BT Freestyle seems to meet all your requirements. Some of the Panasonic range also have the large buttons etc you crave.0
