A Watched Phone Never Rings

Advantages: Speaker phone and nice design
Disadvantages: A little complicated

I can't say I'm involved in the telephone selecting decisions in the house, however I think it's fair to say I am involved in using it. Binatone's slogan is 'innovation you can afford', costing £39.95 back in 2005 for the MD 750 Twin set - called that because it comes with two phones, duh. I've just spent the past half an hour rummaging through the boxes under the stairs and finally came out all dusty with the box, so now the review can commence. ...
...looking slightly stylish in design, showing the product and then having something written about the product beside it.. as well as in four different other languages below that. 'Digital cordless telephones with answering system'. Now I'm sure in my household we don't take full advantage of the many features this phone apparently has, because whilst we already have an answering machine with NTL - it wasn't until just now I knew you could set up an ...

Review of Binatone SYSTEM500

Sexy in silver

Advantages: great call reception, caller ID, cordless unit in addition to corded base, answering machine
Disadvantages: no redial option

...we decided to buy the Binatone MD 7250 due to the price, colour and extra handset that could be positioned anywhere in the house. It cost £40 and is worth every penny. The main unit is a corded telephone that cuts down on the potential to roam the hallway, but it also keeps my wife off the phone for long periods as she doesn't like sitting on the stairs for long periods nattering. Result! Looking like any other corded phone it has a few special ...
...are a bit dull but the 3 standard ringing tones with variable volume are ok for my needs. £40 is a good price I feel and I would go out and buy the Binatone MD 7250 again in the future as I think they represent very good value for money. ...

Review of Binatone MD 7250

Phone!!

Advantages: Speed dailing
Disadvantages: NONE

The BT Decor 425 is not the most attractive home telephone system, it lacks the certasin cutting edge technology found in cordless more up to date telephone units, but what it lacks in these departments, it more than compensates in the functionality department, ease of use and value for money. We bought our BT Decor 425 as an emergency telephone when we moved into our new apartment as we needed a way of communicating with the outside world more ...
...intended as a stop gap in the interim between moving in and geting completely settled I thought that £24.99 was more than a fair price. Setting the telephone up was very easy but I didn't expect that it would need to be plugged in to power the built in answering machine. Luckily, a plug socket is located very closely to our telephone box. Once everything is plugged in and the answering machine message recorded, the telephone is ready to go. The ...

Review of Binatone System 420

It's a cordless life for me with the Siemens CS385!

Advantages: It's got all the features I want from a phone
Disadvantages: None

...different ones, he liked the Siemens CS385. As the area where the phones are based has fairly loud music playing in it and I was on the phone to my sister who'd just had a baby a few hours before and I wanted to make the most of the extortionate amount the NHS would be charging me for ringing my sister, I capitulated (a lot faster than I would have usually, that's for sure) and we left Tesco with two Siemens CS385 phones. There was an offer on where ...
...~Answering Machine~ The Siemens CS385 has an answering machine built into the main base unit. This will record up to 25 minutes of messages and you can access your messages from the base unit or either of the handsets. ~Battery Power~ This phone is apparently an ECO Dect phone, which uses up to 60% less power. It has up to 20 hours talk time and up to 240 hours standby time. Which means that it doesn't have to be in the base unit all the time, which ...
