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 ...

Review of Siemens Gigaset CS385 TWIN

Hands free and a chirpy ringtone

Advantages: Smart and energy efficient too
Disadvantages: Haven't found any yet

...a large display with the Siemens Gigaset AL285 on the 'end' of the product island. Now I know from having worked in retail that the 'ends' are used for the hot promotions and the Siemens was reduced from £69.99 to £39.99 which made it look attractive. It wasn't on the top shelf of the end, that was reserved for a more expensive phone they were keen to sell, but nevertheless I felt it warranted closer inspection. I have no doubt that the keen reduction ...
...looking for a reasonably priced digital phone with a good range for use around your home. Siemens also claim it is energy efficient by saying there is a 100% reduction of transmitting power in standby mode and 60% less power consumption due to energy saving power supply. ...

Review of Siemens Gigaset AL285

I just called, to say, I love you

Advantages: The ability to see who is ringing you
Disadvantages: Does not always seem to charge when in the holder

This review is for the BT Freestyle 225 cordless handset telephones. Setup --------- These phones are usually very easy to set up and I would have a glimpse into the actual guide you are provided with before fiddling with the phone. You need to first set yourself a ring tone which you can use because they have a selection there but only four or five so that is the first point you need to do. You then have to load in all the numbers you want stored ...
...is done you need to make sure you leave the phone overnight before using for battery purposes. Design ------------ They usually come in silver but my phone came in black and the front of the phone there is a little LCD screen which is always giving you information for what you are doing. In the LCD display you have this sort of muddy green colour for a background and black writing displayed on to top of this. Next you have all the buttons before ...

Review of BT Freestyle 225

Best value phone buy ever

Advantages: Cheap, easy to setup (just plug it all in and you can't get that wrong)
Disadvantages: Display isn't backlit (being picky)

I bought this little thing as a cheap handset to stick onto a voip adaptor. I wasn't expecting much but it does more than I thought it would. It is constructed of good solid plastic and so far hasn't broken or cracked (I've dropped it a few times onto hard tiles) It works well as a hands free phone Unlike the other review, I get hours of talktime from the battery and the range from handset to the base unit works well for me as I can wonder around ...
...It comes with caller ID that works just fine via my service provider and via BT. The only complaint I have is that because the LCD isn't backlit it can be hard to see the screen prior to picking up the handset. But that is being picky. For £15 I don't think you can get anything better. I started with one, I now have 3 in the house. Why pay for anything more expensive, after all it's just a fixed line phone! ...

Review of Tesco ARC110

It'a Good To Talk !!

Advantages: easy to use - cheap
Disadvantages: some limations on tones

The BT Studio 3100 handsets - better than my last ones! I've had these handsets for about a year now and I am quite pleased with them. Although there are some limitations to their features for the price (£14.99 in Tesco's) I feel they have been great. ~~~Appearance~~~ Both handsets and bases are light silver in colour with a darker silver/grey shade buttons. All buttons have white writting/digits so they do stand out well. The handsets have a LCD ...
...think my BT Studio handsets have many advantages and I have certain found them easy to use. They have been very reliable and certainly for the price a bargain. Hope you have found this review helpful, thanks for reading x hev (also on Dooyoo) ...
