Hello Everyone and welcome to this review:)
I bought this phone just over a year ago, actually I have a twin pack not the single as listed here, I got them refurbished for the fantastic price of 10 pounds! BARGAIN. I would happily pay up to 50 pounds for these phones.
Two Handsets Two adaptors A Main Charging base and a small Charger A telephone line wire Two belt Clips And full instructions
Also included is a 1 year warranty, if anything goes wrong then siemens will replace it free of charge.
They are really great phones, they are the most reliable cordless phones that we have ever had, in our house the phone is hardly ever not in use. Constantly from 6 in the morning until 11 at night. The joys of having teens:)
But these phones have managed this type of use just fine. The battery in the handset seems to last for ever! The phone is in use all day and it still has two bars in the night! The phone is easy to charge! just pop it on the stand and away you go, it also makes a lovely noise when its placed on the base! haha
Before these phones we had a binatone cordless dect, it was rubbish the sound was terrible and the battery would last an hour if we were lucky! But the sound quality with these siemens is just fantastic!
The microphone is also great, calls on the other end are always extremely clear, infact clearer than any corded phone we have used.
The phone can go up to 300 metres from the base station. They work great in the garden, sometimes you get a bit of a crackle if you go too far. But the coverage throughout the house is just perfect. every single room is fine and our house is quite long and most other phones can't work, but these do!
The phones each have a 30 person phone book built in, you are able to store their numbers and their name, something the binatone could never do! Very handy as when the phone rings the person whos calling name is displayed on the screen
My siemens has an answer machine built in with 15 minutes digital recording built in, the messages all sound very professional compared to the BT phones! the answer machine buttons are also very simple to use.
Another very nice feature of these phones is the orange backlight! When the phone rings the persons number can be seen on the screen even if the room is dark.
The phone has about 20 ringtones, they are all very funky but what is great about this phone is it has the normal "Ring Ring" tone that many cordless phones seem to be lacking these days! The ring is also extremely loud so can be heard no matter where the phone is placed. You can also easily hear it if the phone is down the back of the sofa!
But I do have two things to moan about with these phones! They do not have speaker phone:( for such a nice stylish phone I really thought they would have this feature! We really miss it but I think I will buy another siemens which has this feature,
Also sometimes when the phone rings the base carries on ringing until you get up and press a button on the base, I am not sure if this is a feature or a fault. Mind You I bought these refurbished for 10 pounds so I cannot complain!
I think these phones would be great for an office or a busy home, they are extremely reliable and I would recommend these to anyone!
All in all I am extremely pleased with these, And my next phone will definately be a siemens! 100%
Thanks for reading, Happy phoning:) Nick
