Brief introduction

The BT Verve 410 is a hands free speaker phone, backlit LCD Screen, Caller Display, Compatible SMS Text Messaging and 200 Name & Number.
What exactly does this mean?

Firstly it is hands free so you can get on with other things like writing Ciao reviews! Whilst speaking on the phone to family and friends. It has a backlit LCD screen that instantly changes to the brightness of the screen. Back light is a type of illumination commonly used in liquid displays (LCDs) The back light lights up the phone so it is easier to see and visible to the user. When the phone rings you can see who has called you straight away so you can make the decision if you want to answer the phone or not. You can also use this phone to send text messages if you want to. I find this an excellent feature that some other phone's do not have. You can also store up to 200 phone numbers choosing to display them by name and number.

Value

You can buy these for around 29.99GBP which I think is considerably good value considering the quality and what you get with the system. As well as being a cordless telephone it also has a number of other features which is perfect within the home. I know of some people who have these in their office as well, but I keep mine for in the home. I love owning the BT Verve 410 it is an excellent phone that looks stylish and works effectively. The BT Verve 410 is Dect which means that it works by using a digital cordless signal rather than analogue. This means that it has a good range, security and extremely clear call sound. It is a very convenient phone that does more than a lot of other phone's do where features are concerned.
The BT Verve 410 is fantastic value because not only is it a phone it also has the ability to send SMS text messages similar to that of a mobile phone. You might find that it works out even better value for money if you buy the BT Verve 410 cordless phone in a multi pack rather than separately. If you buy the multi pack you will also receive a few handsets. The twin pack is ideal for anyone who wants the BT Verve 410 plus one extra handset. This is ideal if you want a phone upstairs as well as downstairs. You can also buy the BT Verve 410 in Trio and Quad. It all depends on what you want to use them for and how many people are in your household. If you have children then you might want to put one in their room if you trust them enough not to spend all their time on the phone to their friends. It would be good to have a child lock on the phone or something that you can monitor the calls your children are making to their friends.

It is a very well made phone that is of extremely high quality. It is really good that we have the feature of hands free. When you look back to the first telephones and how far we have progressed I think you will agree we are far advanced now. Hands free is a very useful feature that we didn't used to have. I am very happy that we now have hands free mobile phones so that car drivers can concentrate on the roads more and use their hands for driving. Being able to multi task is a good thing in this busy world and this phone allows you to do just that because it is hands free.
Do you ever get those people who you love dearly? However when they phone your heart sinks? Why? Because you know that you will not be able to get off the phone for a very long time.

My dear Grandmother used to be one of those people who would ring and stay on the phone for at least several hours or at least, it felt like several hours! At least with a hands free set you can get on and do something else whilst that person carries on talking. In the end you just end up saying yes so that you humour them. I hate it when you cannot get off the phone to someone, but I must admit that hands free makes things a lot easier because you can get on and do other things. Also because the phone has a good range you can move around the house whilst speaking on the phone.

The built in hands free speaker that BT Verve has is very good. You also have the option of turning the volume up or down as well. This is extremely handy if you cannot hear very well or if someone doesn't speak very loud on the telephone. Another scenario would be if someone shouts a lot down the phone to you.
Now, my other dear Grandma, bless her, is stone deaf and doesn't always have her hearing aid in. She shouts down the phone to you so I end up having to hold the phone right away from my ear. However with BT Verve the problem is solved because the volume control is very effective. When I know my Grandma is calling because it tells me on the display I can turn the volume down.

We have progressed a long way since those phones where we had to use our finger to dial the numbers. We have many choices of phone's to choose from, but I would say that this is one of the better ones.
Not only is this telephone an advanced piece of technological equipment it also has the features of a clock and alarm. The phone is easy to see even in a dimly lit room because of the LCD navigation.

To display the incoming callers number you need to connect the BT Verve 410 to a telephone line. I would say it is well worth the money you pay. I am now going to list all of the features this wonderful telephone has.

Conclusion

The BT Verve 410 is a new kind of technology that uses multiple features to help keep you in touch with family and friends. Using the BT Verve 410 will change the way you use phones forever. Not only can you make phone calls, but you can also send text messages.

It is simple to use and looks great. It is a neat phone in the colour black which goes with practically everything. The buttons feel really nice to use and the sound volume is just right. You can set it at the volume you like. Although you can put contacts into groups there isn't really any need for this unless you work in an office where you need to keep contacts in company groups.

The only bad thing I have to say about this phone really is the charging hassle. The charge runs out pretty quickly even though it says there should be 10 hours charge. Just remember to put the phone back on charge after you have used it otherwise next time you go to use the phone it will probably need charging.
Overall I give this phone an 8/10.
