    I agree it is crap I had the single version of it, the range was poor just a few metres from the base and got noise. Your better getting a DECT phone. I now got a Panasonic with ponophonic tunes (twin) not answer machine though, excellent phone.

    No longer a user, goodbye folks. PLEASE delete my account. Thank you

    I will NEVER buy from Simply Systemax (misco) again.

    VERY poor service and Sales staff with attitude I can do without, thanks.

    Ebuyer leave them in the dust.

    totally agree.

    Had a duff bt calypso system i purchased from Misco, ( wouldnt read my orange sim card, additional handset kept needing to be registerd) . I was on the phone ( a damn 0870 number) for 40 mins to get it returned.

    Ebuyer do indeed do a better job, and thats saying something.

    does the Synergy 700 have call screening at all, i.e. you can listen to answerphone messages as they are recorded and choose who you like!?

    I thought call screening was on qite a lot of phones but looking around seems to not be a very common feature nowadays

    Myself and my Mother both have this model and find it very good - if you have a very large house or want to use it while at the neighbours the range isn't so hot.
