Samsung SPR6150

THIS REVIEW HAS RECENTLY BEEN UPDATED WITH MUCH MORE ADDED INFO............................

I bought my Samsung SPR6150 Dect phone going on 5 years ago,
I don't know if it still is but at the time it was the smallest Digitally Enhanced Cordless Telephone around, and I still love it now as much as I did when I first bought it.

There are many advantages to this phone which I use pretty often;
The biggest advantage is that you can use up to 4 handsets,
With each additional handset coming with its own docking station.

Having an extra handset is not only ideal for use in other parts of the house but you can also use the intercom function which allows you to talk from handset to handset or from handset to the main base unit.
And with its 300 meter range it can be used outdoors which is useful when the children are in the garden or hubby is upstairs or in the garden shed.

The intercom function doesn't cost anything to use this is just an added feature of the phone which comes in very useful at times.
Using this function is easy just press intercom on the handset and the handset at the other end will ring,
And the same procedure from handset to base unit and vise versa,
The sound quality using this function is as good as when a normal call is being made and its free.

The phone can also be used with the headset which is supplied,
Or the speakerphone which is installed in the base unit and again both functions are easy to use and with good sound quality too,
And for times when you are expecting a call and you don't want to disturb anyone or when it's late and everyone is asleep then the ring and vibrate function can be used.

The LCD screen displays the menu when needed and the date and time.
The LCD screen also shows call information such as caller display which allows you to check who's calling first and gives you the option to answer or not.
Also on this screen is where the last 20 dialed numbers can be viewed too.

There is also a phonebook where you can store up to 70 numbers and assign each number with a corresponding name so it's easy to know which number belongs to whom allowing you to make a call without having to remember the number.

The phone also has 10 different ring tones which I use a lot as it allows you to assign a ringtone to a specific caller so that when the phone rings with a certain ringtone I know who is calling,
but this feature is only available if the telephone systems used by both you and the caller support Caller ID.

Other functions are………………

An alarm with a variety of wake me up sounds which are loud enough and will definitely get you out of bed.

70 number speed dialing and 10 last number redial all at the touch of a button.
And an easy to navigate menu with an 8 multi-language selection.

A recording facility, but to keep within the law it beeps every 10 seconds to let the caller know they are being recorded,
For obvious reasons ….THE BEEP……it can't be used for everyday calling.
I've only used this facility to try it out but it works with good sound playback and is easy to use.

And then not forgetting the very useful call barring function which allows call barring for up to 4 numbers.

When I first started using this phone I found it easy to navigate and read the menu ect on the illuminated LCD screen but it took me a while to remember all the functions and how to use some of them but after a short time I found it really easy.

The phone has a good clarity of sound with all functions and looks really stylish,
It's a flip open type which opens to reveal the press buttons which are easy to see and operate,
It is very small and lightweight and looks just like a mobile phone and is comfortable to hold and will easily fit into your pocket.

I haven't had any problems so far and I've only replaced the battery in the handset twice in 5 years which I think is really good,
and removing and replacing the battery is very simple to do.

This is a nice little phone which you won't be disappointed with,
If I had to buy another phone I think I would buy this one again not just because of all the good functions it has but because it looks so good too.
