Starting a new home / office working job I was unsure what telephone would suit my needs. I mainly needed a phone with an RJ11 port for headset connectivity.My employer suggested a decent site with a wide range of suitable equipment (pmctelecom.co.uk) but to be honest I found the prices unreasonable compared to the similarly priced products here on amazon.Long story short, the BT Converse 2100 proved to be the best choice out of 20 others phones in terms of price-point & stability and as such I am happy to say I have not been disappointed with this purchase at all.This phone has a very solid and sturdy feel. Admittedly it has a somewhat limited feature range that (in my case) turned out for the best. Ironically the company software I use with this phone does all the glitzy stuff other higher priced phones come built with, such as call forwarding, address booking, secrecy, etc.If you are looking for a simple and sturdy office / home telephone look no further. This phone does exactly what it says on the tin with zero hassle and no fussExtension Cord Advice —Also as a tip I just wanted to add I actually needed this phone installed across a room due to the location of my supplier phone box. As a result I also bought a 10 meter extension cord thinking everything would work out fine. Sadly, I ignorantly failed to understand that there are different types of cord, for example there are 2 pin, 4 pin, straight wired and cross wired cables.Unbeknownst to me my first cable was a two pin cross wired extension that failed to work with the BT 2100. Looking through the 2100’s manual did not help illuminate me to the correct configuration and only by looking at the 2100’s original short cable I could see four gold copper pins and then had to take a guess as to if it would be a straight or cross wired cable.So finally after wasting about £15 on extensions that did not work I can confirm for this phone you will need a 4-pin straight wired cable for extension purposes. After knowing this Think Assemble had a wide range of them on the cheap and everything is now working all fine and dandy.I hope that lil tid-bit of info helps out someone who may be in a similar predicament.

This replaced a recently purchased similar model. The other model had required batteries and broke within a few months. I specifically wanted this one as it requires no batteries (like my other very long standing and very good landline). So there is much less scope for it to break and I am very happy without a caller number showing.The phone is lovely to handle, sturdy and substantial and easy for me to use on long business calls (it tucks well under the chin so I can type notes as I do when I do not want speakerphone on). The speakerphone function seems to work well (although I do not often need that so not given it much of a test). Nor have I used the headset function as I do not like head sets.It plugged in fine exactly where the previous phone did.I wanted one that plugged into the electricity in the wall like the old one (not one to run off the computer or USB port function compulsory) and it does indeed plug in like the last one and the cable to the telephone landline socket similarly simply replaced what I had before in seconds.I went for black as my previous white phones got dirty quickly.I have not tried to attach it to the wall but it came with screws to do so for those who might want that.A good landline home or business phone all round in my view.Another advantage of tihs over the shortlived one which needed batteries is I can take it off the hook when I go out without its causing loads of interference with the PC and awful noises. As this one has no batteries inside it does not have that effect. Much better all round and a lovely easy to use sturdy handset too.
