...Red Dwarf fans.
The BT Verve 450 Twin was what we bought, although I see from subsequent price searches, we 'were done' by Currys having been charged the full BT RRP of nigh-on 80 quid and during a January sale to boot. That'll teach me to make impulse buys!
PHYSICAL SET-UP
Leaping straight to the 'leave this to me, who needs instructions?' approach we did indeed get us most of the way to a working duet of cordless phones, but that's about as ... ...the Caller ID function from BT or whoever you pay your line rental to helps as this supposedly absolves you of the need to set the date and time - this is done apparently when the first call comes in. This is fine if you don't buy old stock or buy 'on the cusp' of a new year. This can lead to your answering machine reporting the correct time that calls were received but getting the day wrong. Don't rush to take it back as faulty - it's only the manual ...
Advantages: Can't think of any Disadvantages: See review poor volume and lack of clarity
...they were poor quality, but BT still sell them at full list and Tesco prices are also now back up to £50+.
Also you need internet access to view the full instruction leaflet as BT pack only a single-sheet potted version with the phones in order to "save the planet".
We are now shopping for a Panasonic or similar. ...
Advantages: Large phonebook memory Disadvantages: Ringtones
Bought a triple handset version from Tesco for £64.
When installing I simply plugged the lead out of my old phone and into the Synergy Base. It didn't work! Found on reading the online user guide that you MUST use the cable supplied with Synergy to connect to the wall socket. Doh! Then it worked.
Also the plastic lip under the base (which holds the power cable in place) snapped off immediately.
Other than these niggles, a good buy. Some useful ...
Advantages: Lots of features, good sound quality, looks great. Disadvantages: It's a phone.
...with a twin pack of BT Graphite 1100’s. You can get the g1100’s in anything from a one pack (£27) to a four pack (£73) depending on how many phones you require for your needs and how much money you have. They are, however, at the lower end of the price range for wireless phones. In quick style, I disposed of my old bricks of burden and hooked up these babies. The base is circular with a little cut out for the hand set to lean back in. Both the hand ... ...used when on hold to BT for hours on my old phones. I’d transfer the call to the other handset so the battery could last. That shouldn’t be an issue with these babies, however, as the box tells me there are up to 10 hours talking time in the batteries when they are fully charged and 100 hours (over 4 days) of standby time so you can leave your phones lying around and not worry about the battery running down. Like most phones, these will beep at you ...
Advantages: excellent features, looks superb & great quality Disadvantages: small number buttons
Excellent cordless slimline digital house phone with answer machine & loud speaker.
DESIGN:
GOOD
Available in both silver & black, both the handset & base system are slim, sleek & attractive. A large lcd backlit screen makes it easy to see numbers & features clearly plus the blue lighting effect on the keypad is a good indicator as to whether calls have been missed or new messages have been received.
Fully featured menu that is very similar to ... ...to navigate.
Longer than average recording time plus extended battery life.
POOR
As the phone is so slim the buttons have been designed to be slim too in which case it makes it more difficult to operate as there is a tendancy to press 2 buttons at once & if you have large digits then potentially you could end up pressing several buttons at once when dialling.
However I haven't really had a problem using the keypad & once numbers are added to ...
