Despite fully charging the batteries of both handsets and standing within a foot (30 cm) of the base unit, callers complained they could hardly hear us; if we increased the handset volume (which one had to do with every call - you couldn't pre-set it) the distortion became almost impossible at both ends. Hate to think how poor the quality would have been at any distance from the base.
We took them back to Tesco within a week of purchase and got a full refund. We subsequently wondered if the discounted price ( c £37) was because they were poor quality, but BT still sell them at full list and Tesco prices are also now back up to £50+.
Also you need internet access to view the full instruction leaflet as BT pack only a single-sheet potted version with the phones in order to "save the planet".
We are now shopping for a Panasonic or similar.
