Wonderful device.Simple to use.Whether your computer savvy or not it's works well. The figures stand out well to make it readable against an orange background.The batteries last well but higher capacity can be fitted if needed. The volume is good.Excellent value for money

Value for money. Easy to set-up.

was difficult in setting up answer phone and when receiving a call, cacelling the message and clearing the phones screen.I can't find it in manual.

As much as the handsets are comfortable in the hand and that numbers can be stored and you can access the answerphone from the handset, there are many annoyances with the set.The volume of the ringers is eardrum splitting (even on its lowest setting) but the volume using the speakerphone is not great (even tuned up full) and the caller can hardly hear you even if the phone is but a few inches from your mouth.The display screen is horrendous. There have been times I've mistaken the date (14:06) as the time! That's if you can see the screen clearly without the back light on. The set up is sort of okay but it was easier to search the internet for a user manual, than what came with it.The handset cannot be turned off, once it's on and charged, that's it, it's on for life. Get used to hearing the annoying 'beep-beep' because of low battery. Don't trust the power indicator, often it has two bars but when I start dealing 'poof' it's no bars and starts beeping to be recharged.

Works well. Instructions not good.

On receipt of the phone it was in a box that had clearly been opened before and badly resealed. However we gave it the benefit of the doubt and set it all up. While I expected it to take some time to charge up, after 18 hours 2 of the 3 handsets were still only showing less than half full charge and the 3rd one was completely dead still.I have returned the phones and gone with something more reliable!

Good quality phone , easy to use

Really liked these phones. Reasonable price and did everything I wanted - call blocker, different ringtones, etc. Unfortunately, nearly six months later they are now both showing 'out of range'. They haven't been dropped and I've tried all the usual things but still showing out of range. Contacted Amazon who couldn't have been more helpful and I can return the phones for a full refund.EDIT - the phones are not broken. The phone connected to the phone line was plugged into an extension socket and the main power point had been switched off. So, refund cancelled and I'm delighted I can still use these phones.
