Binatone D33

The Binatone D33 was my first phone - I still have it (now sits next to the computer as a great office type phone) I originally chose this particular model for its price (very cheap from Argos - I think it was £14.99) The second thing that made me drawn to buying this model is the fact that it has a Caller ID display - which means you can see who is calling either from the phone number or from programming names and numbers into it (me at the time being unaware that you had to sign up for Caller ID - I now have..) ------- THE LOOK OF THE PHONE ------- The phone is black and silver with grey ... more
