Advantages: Easy to set up and use Disadvantages: Not any that stand out
I have had this phone for about a week or so and I think that its fantastic, I ordered it from BT's online shop when my old phone decided it had had enough. It set me back £109.99 but remember this is for two handsets not just one. I thought it seemed quite expensive but one of my friends has one and said that she had never had a problem so I thought I would take her word for it. It is in all honesty a really good set of handsets with some great features. It has been a few years since I have bought a landline phone and I was surprised at how far along they have come. My last one was very basic with very few features, these new ones are more like modern mobiles, I couldn't believe how much they have changed.
I bought the twin set so I got two handsets but from the same place you can buy a single handset for £69.99, set of three ...
Advantages: Good Price & a great looking phone Disadvantages: Cheap & nasty with buttons that are too small
I bought these phones as part of a triple pack from an online site that deals with returns from catalogues.
I have always wanted DECT phones, as they are far more flexible than ones you have to plug in. You see with a DECT phone all you need to do is plug one into your main phone socket, so in your hall then all the others need is an electrical plug as the signal is transmitted thought your home. I had heard that this was a compromise on the quality of the sound but not the case as these little phones have superb reception
The Calypso225 has an answering machine with a maximum of 16 minutes recording time, & the facility for caller information to be displayed as long as you sign up with BT for it. This cost around a fiver a quarter but I always know when my mother in law is calling so it's well worth it :-)

Advantages: sim copy Disadvantages: a bit quiet, strange ringtones
A good phone with easy to use menu system. sim phone copy is a great feature, Answer phone work well very simple to use. the ringtones are not so good all seem to be calypso based. It misses a short cut to favorite numbers feature so you have to go the full list of numbers to phone people. Although frequently dailed numbers can often quickly be found in the dailed numbers list saving time finding them.
the earpiece volume is a little low (not terrible but noticable) but you can use hands free and hold just away from your ear if this is a problem.
Ive added my calypso 1100 to the system so 5 phones work of one unit (5 is the max) but the 1100 wont access the answer phone.
This phone is maybe not so good for a bedroom as the screen stays illuminated permanently and lights up the room quite a lot
