DECT phone recommendations please

We've just bought a Gigaset from Argos (A415A twin hanset) but they also do a triple handset. Seems easy enough to use and voicemails flash on handsets and base station and can be picked up from any.

My Gigaset N300A is a few years old and going strong, except for the rechargeable batteries - but they are just plain AAs so I could replace them...

^^^ AAAs - but NiMH, not NiCd luckily :)

Another vote for Siemens Gigaset. Having used Philips, Aldi's own and Daewoo, these are by far the best. Simple and intuitive to use.

Good experience of Gigaset here too.

I have a few here and the best by far is a Panasonic from TLC. Present price is 65 plus vat for an answerphone triple pack. It just feels better made than the others - and uses standard cells as batteries.

I would much prefer that a single phone book was stored on the base station, not separate copies on each handset as they are on this model...

Set of 3 Gigaset C300s have served us well for a few years now.

I don't know how it matches up to your specific requirements, but BT have one out now that incorporates much of the "truecall" nuisance-call prevention technology.

That's the base unit to which you can "pair" any of the Gigaset handsets, the feature set available can then get a bit confusing though. As, IIRC, some handset features reley on the base supporting them and vice versa.

I'm pleased with the call quality of our N300A IP either on POTS or on VOIP. We have A510 handsets, I wouldn't say they have the most intuative user interface but it's not awful. Don't use call transfer or conference so don't know how easy that is to do.

Before the Gigaset system was installed we had a Philips (POTS only), by comparison with te Gigaset it has very poor call quality, constant background noise together with modulation noise/digital artifacts.

Yes. I was complaining about sipgate the other week but I don;t get quality problems on the N300A - always on my mobile (even if WiFi is present)
