BT Digital Baby Monitor Plus

Advantages: Talk back feature, No interference, very clear sound,
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I already had a tomy baby monitor from my first child but it was a few years between children. This meant that technology had moved forward a bit and newer monitors had much better features. The main reason that we went for the bt digital baby monitor plus was because it is a true digital monitor, unlike the tomy monitor which claimed to be digital however only had 2 channels. This meant that if somebody had the same monitor in the area then it would pick up on their noises. You do not get any interference what so ever with the bt digital monitor plus. Make sure that if purchasing a digital monitor, that it is true digital and has more than 2 channels. The sound quality is excellent, on occations we have heard our baby breathing when on the highest sensitivity, which is adjustable from your handset. The next great feature is that...

Review of BT Digital Baby Monitor Plus

BT Digital Baby Monitor Plus - delighted!

Advantages: Intercom feature, temperature indicator, crystal clear sound, sensitive, good looks, light indicator, adjustable volume
Disadvantages: some unnecessary features e.g. nightlight

...As a BT digital phone owner, it struck me that the same technology could be used in a baby monitor, and lo and behold those clever people at BT have gone and done it. While looking into Baby Monitors it seemed to me that you can have a basic (non-digital) model for around £20, or you can go over £100 for the video option, but as someone who wanted an 'in-between' option I plumped for the BT Digital Baby Monitor Plus which retails for around £70. What I absolutely wanted from my monitor was crystal clear sound, and a temperature indicator on the parent unit. This is exactly what I got and more. To be honest I don't bother with the nightlight or the range of lullabies, but the other feature I find useful is the light indicators - useful for when I've got my hairdryer on for example! When the indicator flashes into the red then you...

Review of BT Digital Baby Monitor Plus

Bt digital baby monitor plus

Advantages: Lullaby's, Intercom
Disadvantages: Battery life is not very good, night light feature also a little poor

...I brought the BT Digital Baby Monitor Plus about two years ago from Argos priced £69.79. I have had other baby monitors in the past but this design is by far the best as it has many useful functions. It is quite pricey but you will not be disappointed once you have it, mine is on all day everyday. The monitor comes as two separate unit?s the larger one is for the nursery ideally near the cot and the parent handset which I keep down stairs. Both are connected to the mains and the parent handset has re-chargeable batteries (2x AA supplied). The parent handset has a 50 metres indoor range and 300m range for when you are on the move around the house it comes complete with a belt clip to fasten it safely to your waist band. The area of range was essential for me when my little one was newborn. It meant I could keep an ear on him while I...

Review of BT Digital Baby Monitor Plus 120-channel

BT 150: good sound quality but not great battery life. UPDATED.

Advantages: Works well, can be personalised a bit. Intuitive interface.
Disadvantages: Poor battery life after a few months, combined with annoying low battery alarm!

...We bought this baby monitor when we moved our son into his own room at about 7 months old. We picked this particular model because: - We trusted the BT brand name - The digital (DECT) sound quality was supposed to be good - It had a couple of extra features we liked - It was quite compact - It wasn't too hideously expensive - The mains chargers work for both the parent and baby units (so less faffing around with plugs) - You can link an MP3 player to the baby unit and play music to them (ps we have NEVER used this function though we did think it was cool!) This is a very long-term review, as we have been using the monitor for 18 months now! Hopefully that'll make the review useful! **Set up** This is very easy - just plug in the baby and the parent units, turn on both and the parent unit will find the baby one, with the light...

Bose SoundDock Digital Music System Review

Advantages: Superb Sound, Very Loud, Ideal for Ipods
Disadvantages: not go to travel with, Extremely Expensive

...Bose SoundDock Digital Music System I happened to get this as a gift and it turned out to be quiet interesting Summary: This dock is used mainly for ipod and allows you to connet mp3 players to it and listen to high quality music via speakers. It is idle for homes and small gatherings, although I would not run a party off these. Pros: This system has terrific sound and can go very load despite its relative small size. As with almost all Bose speakers the quality is amazing, so long as the source you are playing it from is high quality it will allow the speakers to each its potential. I have a surround sound Bose set up in one of my rooms but now prefer to use this product as it is very simple to operate. Just plug the mp3 player in and press play and your set. Can't get much simpler. It also runs off a wall...

BT HOME HUB

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: despite technical language (thankful for pictures)

...Bt home hub is an innovative idea to bring together all computers, phones, faxes etc through one small box. It can also be connected to your answering machine and house alarm systems. It allows you to have a wireless connection to broadband through a USB connection that you put into your computer. Although the instruction booklet you get with it is full of technical language there is easy to follow pictures, so even if your rubbish with technology you should be able to set it up by yourself. They do have technical support should you require it. You can access broadband in many places throughout the UK and Ireland. Anywhere where you see a BT openzone sign such as British Airways Airport Lounges, which is great if your often away on business. It means you can keep working right up until you board the aircraft. As part...

Review of BT

BT Baby Monitor Plus is the ideal monitor for all stages

Advantages: Nightlights, music, talk option, varied volume, clear sound
Disadvantages: Long initial charge time, loud unlinked alarm can not be turned off or down

...We purchased this digital monitor after originally buying a radio set and the difference in quality was obvious. Although my sister had used these I had not bought them at first due to the cost (just under £70 when purchased) but realised at once that we had actually wasted the money spent on the cheaper monitors and should have bought these outright. The only issue we had with these occurs right at the beginning. You have to charge the parent unit for a very long time (16 hours if I remember correctly) and during this time it is not linked to the baby unit. Whilst unlinked the parent unit bleeps to warn you that it is not receiving from the baby unit and this warning is so loud that we could hear it even from the garage. Sadly ours only got about 11 hours as it was too loud and was causing problems when it came to our son's bed time...

Review of BT Digital Baby Monitor Plus

BT phone line.

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: totally unreliable.

...From our experience with BT they seem to have a policy of treating customers with utter contempt. Since we had our BT line installed last summer we've had constant problems with the phone line. About 5-6 times the line has cut off, gone completely dead. Even when it was working there was constant interference on the line. Calling BT (very expensive if you're forced to use a mobile) usually takes the best part of an hour to get through to a human being, at which point they will tell you there's nothing wrong with the line and it must be your fault. Eventually (after having been put through to countless different people) they agree to send someone out to fix it.. but we're usually left without a working phone for a week, there is no apology or explanation for why the line was cut off in the first place, and no refund for the money they...

Review of BT

BT - How They Continue To Operate I Don't Know

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Lengthy On Hold Periods, Rubbish Customer Service, Do Not Maintain Promises

...For the first 10 months as a customer of British Telecommunications (BT) I had no complaints. The service was installed (for a price of £125) and I paid for the line rental only on a quarterly direct debit of £33 per quarter. In the 10th month I moved house and applied to BT for a Home Move ? the service which automatically reconnects your current account to your new address with minimal upheaval. The website claims ?We can arrange the transfer of your BT Broadband and BT phone line with one simple call. We'll also transfer your BT Calling Plan and any BT Calling Features to your new address automatically so you won't miss out on any services.? I can confirm that; *They cannot arrange the transfer of your BT phone line with one simple call. *They cannot transfer your BT Calling plan to your new address automatically so you won...

BT Vision - wonderful!!

Advantages: On Demand
Disadvantages: Noisy fan

...BT Vision is a fantastic concept and supposedly the future of TV. With the Digital changeover we're all going to have to have Digital TV of some sort so BT Vision seemed the perfect product for me since I already have my telephone and internet with BT. BT Vision is essentially a freeview box with an 80GB hard drive and a recording feature which allows you to watch one programme and record another or record two programmes at the same time. You can also pause live TV, record at the touch of a button and record a whole series simply by selecting the programme from the programme guide and then pressing record twice. The beauty of BT Vision is the On Demand service where you can choose films, sport, music videos, comedies, pretty much anything and watch it whenever you want. The prices for On Demand vary from 29p to £2.99 depending...
