Decent (twin) landline handset. Good volume, clarity etc.?

JustAnotherSaver

Perhaps a daft question but i know my mum's gone through a few handsets that she's returned after a day or so use because the clarity was poor, maximum volume for hearing the person on the other end speak was poor & just the phones in general were poor.

I don't fancy buying a few myself only to struggle hearing the person on the other end etc & then have to return it & try again.

I'm actually wanting one of those twin handsets where the other can get plugged into mains & left upstairs.

Can any of you recommend any sub £100? Thanks.

We have had a single unit (they do 2, 3 or 4 unit sets) Panasonic for many years and the only problem, ever, was when it needed new rechargeable batteries. Sound is fine.


My son has a much newer , but similar model and that, too,is fine.

I bought these before Christmas, absolute bargain as they have Truecall software and answerphone !

I have a twin unit Panasonic with built-in voicemail. Sound is very clear and volume is fine. You can always buy from Argos and return if not satisfied.

What is "truecall"?

Also, is a built in voicemail thing really necessary? I mean, 1571 does the job doesn't it?

I recently got a Polaroid twinset with answer machine from Asda for £18, it was originally just temporary until I could get some new BT ones, but they are so clear and easy to use I'm keeping them! Really surprised by the clarity but they are brill!

Perhaps, the OP didn't realise that your post was a link and assumed you were just posting in blue ?

I have a 4 unit Panasonic set, really recommend it. It comes with answer machine (but also available without.)

Great sound, loud ring, many other very useful features.

I see similar Panasonic 2 unit sets on Amazon atm starting at £34.99.

Hope this helps, good luck!

There is a little known thing called GGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGGGGLLLLLE !

JustAnotherSaver

Not really.

There is a thing called Google though.

There's also a thing called just generally being helpful.
