Advantages: Good styling, Comfortable to use Disadvantages: 100% Unreliable
I bought two X3i single units one for each line in my house. They look and feel superb, are very comfortable even during long calls, and whilst the features are limited are comparable to the features offered on most other Dect handsets.
Problems started about a week after I got the phones. The landline phone range steadily reduced until you had to be standing next to the base station to use it. The handset on the VoIP line's display started breaking ... ...received replacements within a few days; the Land line phone worked for 2 days and then stopped picking up if it was on charge so it was impossible to answer calls. The line quality on the VoIP handset was also noticeably poorer then the previous faulty handset.
So basically from 4 handsets I suffered 100% unreliability. I am going back to my clunky old reliable BT. ...

Review of Idect Idect X3I
Advantages: price, appearance Disadvantages: battery compartment, uncomfortable to hold
Overall the phone is good value for money. But the phone can be a little uncomfortable to hold and use, also the battery compatment is a swine to open and close, as it has a spring and is curved so I had to use a knife, and ended up scuffing it, but once you have the batteries in you will not need to do it again. However overall the battery life is quite long and it is an attractive slimline phone which you will eventually get use to. Also it is ...

Review of Idect Idect X1
Advantages: Get to talk to your friends, do 2 things at once and can get one cheap Disadvantages: Volume and deleting
On buying this handheld phone, I knew what i was getting from the word Hands Free. If your like me and you dont have a lot of money, the house phone isnt top of your priorties or you want to be able to move from room to room while talking then this is a cheap answer to your prayers. However, the volume is rubbish (3 choices), the thrid not being that loud, the time to answer the phone is minimal and deleting old messages seems like an algebra equation ...
Advantages: Simple & reliable to use Disadvantages: Only has basic featues
This is a good basic cordless telephone. We brought ours 3 years ago, and only now is one of the handsets showing signs of wear - the phone only lasts about 15-20mins before the battery indicator starts beeping.
Hold 40 numbers
Easy scroll up/down menu. Never even needed to refer to user manual. Simple to alter sound levels/ring level etc.
2nd phone only connects by a plug - second telephone socket is not required. Which is also very useful. Sound ...
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 ...
