Got this to replace a very poor BT cordless phone and answering machine. This little thing looks better, works better, hold a charge, is simple to operate. Inother words, good value for money.

As with the reviewer below I bought this to replace a much more expensive but low quality BT phone. It is attractive and functional, and good value for money. The only disappointing feature for me is the display, which is slightly confusing and difficult to read. This is not a major problem, however, and I would still recommend it to anyone who is looking for a basic digital phone.

I agree with the previous reviews, it's a great phone and excellent value for the price paid.

I took a star off regarding the answering machine alarm. I wish it had a sound beep to inform of new messages (it blinks a squared light) and also a led informing how many new messages.

Other than that, a great phone.

Good points: the handset looks really good, the base makes the answer machine easy to use, can hear very well, menu is starightforward, easy to understand.

Not so good: the ringtones are horrible, there is no speakerphone, took me forever to find out how to set up the voicemail message.

Good quality for value.

I bought this to replace the absolutely rubbish Philips Id 937 (phone & answerphone)I previously wasted my money on. It looks good is clear and straight forward to use. Good sound quality and I highly recommed it
