Set up for elderly parents ( late 80s) as they would not have been able to manage it on their own. Good quality chunky handsets and clear big number pad, display clear and sound loud. Early days, yet to know how they will get on with it i.e using the volume and boost. The M1/ M2 mem keys weren’t initially intuitive to set and took me a bit of scrolling thru menu to find ( on HS Set mode). They will need reminding to press and hold M1/M2 keys to get them to dial. Call log feature clogs up display and caused confusion – what does this mean? etc; , have to go into menu to clear it but they don’t need hassle of doing that. Couldn’t see option to disable call log?Really is a case of the simpler the better at their age.

The item is fine, a little hard to program and only holding 20 numbers is limiting. The biggest problem was, that despite this claiming to be a UK and Irish version, the instruction manual was in Scandinavian. I did find the English pdf version online but at 40 pages long its too much to print up and leave with my elderly father who the phone is for. He likes to be independent so this is quite an issue for him. Also the bank is not recognising his voice for security, so this is causing a further problem for him. The hearing and speaking qualities seem good to us but the bank is saying there is background noise; just something to be aware of if you do buy this product.

Easy to use ordered for elderly sister, nice large buttons and display but slightly disappointed in the ring tone not loud enough for my liking

I bought this to use wirelessly direct to my BT HUb2. It claims to be a DECT (digital enhanced cordless telecoms) phone that is GAP (generic access profile) compatible. Despite this being stated in the manual (p21) no instructions are available for making this work, and though I unplugged the base to avoid a clash, and pressed the WPS pairing button on the hub, I could not get it to work, and gave up. I ordered a BT Essential handset, which came with a simple charging base (no phone line connection or wireless transceiver) and was able to get this going in minutes without even referring to the (much simpler) instruction sheet. Also found that the BT phone has a quick hands-free facility that is quite loud. Many people do not realise that once your landline has ‘gone digital’ (though it is often still ‘copper’ not full fibre) then the logical new way to do things is simply to pair the phone handsets with the BT Hub2 which already has built into it the ability to transmit and receive from up to 5 DECT GAP phones; no other base station needed and no wiring throughout the house! The range is quoted as 300m outdoors or 50m indoors depending on any walls in the way. GAP operates on 1900MHz, separately from the WiFi which is also included in the BT Hub2. What’s more, you can use two handsets simultaneously for either outgoing or incoming calls, and you can call any handset of the five from any other one; a useful intercom facility if, like me, you have outbuildings such as an office in your garden. My advice is to forget about connecting old phones using the socket on the back of the hub. Just get the BT Essentials – it’s audio and display are clear enough, and it seems hard to find other phones that truly work as they should direct to the hub wirelessly.
