...Purchased from Argos recently to replace my existing BT Synergy 600 (4 handsets that have all now failed (died)) Bt, british telecom are well known for their high standards in the telephone and broadband industry. I was very happy with my old bt phone, it had all the features one could ask for CALLER DISPLAY, cordless, extensive phone book, secrecy, last call and redial buttons along with 'int' - intercom to communicate from one handset to the other - used to transfer calls as well. - the twin set cost me £35 and the single would've cost £19 from Argos. I did some hunting around and found the Bt Freestyle 3200 was the same price (£35) in currys. The reason i didnt get this newer model is because its design is hideous compared to the sleek, slim and overall attractive appearance of the large keys Bt Studio handsets. The Bt... Read review

...BT Studio 1500 Cordless Phone with Answering Machine The BT Studio 1500 is a silver cordless telephone with answering machine, I paid £29.74 for mine a year ago from Asda but they have come down in price since as newer models have come out. The Base Unit The base unit has a 2 metre cable so you need to place it within 2 metres of a mains socket and your telephone socket. BT also advise that you place it 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference and this probably is a good idea as mine is only about 50cm away from other appliances and at first I did get some interference although it seemed to diminish over time. They also say that placing the base unit as high up as possible gives you a better signal strength. The base has two connections at the back, one for the telephone line and one... Read review

...The British Telecommunications BT Studio is a very good DECT phone (Digital phone). The sound is very clear, the reception is excellent with no background noises AT ALL, you can choose from two colours: grey or black. I’ve bought both of them and they both look nice but I must say the black one is more stylish (in my opinion). If you have the chance to choose…go for it ! :o) The Range of reception is very good, 50 metres indoors and about 300 outdoors. Basically you can always hear your interlocutor very clearly wherever you are. You can add as many secondary units as you like…so it’s a great choice for families living in large houses. I also think that at the moment its value for money is Really GOOD, when I bought it three months ago it was about 70 pounds, now you can buy it for 40 pounds!! It’s definitely WELL WORTH IT...

...Our Binatone cordless phone with built in answering machine was not a great success. When the batteries stopped working I could have replaced them but instead we decided to go looking for a better one. We found the BT Studio 3500 in ASDA for a little under £30 and took it home. BT should get a special mention for their excellent packaging. Normally when you buy a boxed electrical item you have to wade through loads of plastic wrap, sticky tape, tie wraps, and bags to get the item out. You are then stuck with a huge pile of polystyrene and plastic to get rid of. Purbeck District Council, in their wisdom, only empty our wheely bins fortnightly so excess packaging can be a real bind. This item was in a cardboard box, the spacers were card and instead of plastic there was tissue paper. Well done BT! Setting up... Read review

...This is a great phone. The functions are easy to use and it is good looking, compact and stylish. We've got another BT phone with answerphone that we have had for 12 years and still works so hopefully these will last the same length of time! A Binatone phone with speaker phone only lasted a few years - the speaker phone was never clear either so we weren't interested in having that again and decided to opt for a BT one again albeit with no speaker phone. The receiver is very light and is comfortable to hold for long calls. You can easily programme names and numbers into the address book without having to struggle with the manual. The answerphone too is easy to use and is very clear.... Read review

...Bought this for Me and my parents because I got so frustrated from the BT Quartet Phone 1500 Cordless phone w/ answering system - single-line operation. That just wound me up it was useless to use and boring. So I decide to buy the BT Cordless phone - DECT - single-line operation - 21897. Not a day goes by where I don’t think twice about that special day when I went to curry's and bought this far superior phone compared to the 1500. Ah the features are endless, for example: - · Digital call quality · Digital call security · Caller display · LCD display · 10 number memory · 10 number call log · Prepared dialing · Speech volume control · Secrecy button · Paging · Last number redial · Low battery warning · Out of range warning This phone is defiantly suitable and should be used for residential use only. The price... Read review

...For quite a few years now I've been renting my BT Converse 225 telephone from BT. But, to save on the rental charge, I thought that in the long run it would be cheaper to buy a phone outright. So, out goes the rented phone (back to BT) and in comes the........wait for it.......the BT QUARTET 3500. Sounds posh, doesn't it?! But, for the nice price of £29.99, I thought this was a mere snip of price compared to what I pay in rental each year! THE BASE STATION <><><><><><><><><>< I couldn't wait to get it home and start playing with it and seeing what many features it has! You don't just get the 1 free phone - you get 2, a spare one - handset 1 and handset 2. The main base station has 2 plugs on the back, one which plugs into the wall for electricity, and 1 which goes into the phone socket. What I like about this phone... Read review

...BT Synergy 3500 Digital Cordless Answer Machine with Caller Display and Call Waiting I got this phone as a present from my mum as my Binatone analogue cordless phone kept dying on me. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Appearance The handset is a matt silver colour with black buttons and the top half of the phone is textured black plastic. It looks quite sleek and modern and I like that there is no fixed or pull out aerial as it is built in. The main base is the same matt silver with black buttons. The buttons are for the answer machine which includes the on/off switch, volume, play, stop skip and delete. There is a tiny aerial built in to the base but this is unobtrusive. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The package 1 x Main base with answer machine 1 x Secondary base which is just a charger unit 2 x...
