Recommendations for Best Cordless phone (merged)

Adhoc_2

I've got BT Calypso 225, although it's a few years old, I've found the hands-free to be good. It's a DECT phone and base station, which comes with answerphone. I cann't comment about recording, but a call can be shared with a corded phone on the same line.

Hello midflight

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

Thanks, Nile, but I assumed the "Home Phones" board was about phone line providers (line rental, etc), rather than the actual equipment used?
Ah well, cheers anyway.

Many thanks, Adhoc. Had a quick look on Amazon. That phone has received 6 reviews - all very negative, with a total rating of just 1 star

Any other recommendations?

Thanks midflight, I've had an eye on Panasonic, but couldn't justify replacing the 4 I've got (all currently working well). Although I might be replacing them sooner than I thought. I've nothing from personal experience to recommend, other than to mention what I've got, which does the job for me.

Now the FRITZ!Fon MT-F from AVM should be good, expecially if it goes with a Fritz!box 7270 or above. I haven't got one (not sure they're available yet) and I've seen no reviews - but will keep an eye out.

My home phones are old and need replacing, these are 1/2 price in Argos - have pretty good reviews

Does anyone know of any other good deals or recommendations on make/model please?

I personally wouldn't touch a cheap brand of phones. I've always stuch with BT phones as I know I can depend on the sound quality & ease of use.

Other highly recommended phones seem to be Panasonic & Philips. They always seem to rate highly in reviews.

Thank you cattie

I have only previously had Panasonic and BT makes aswell. I might do a little more research before I get anything..
