PROS: Easy to set up. Nice large buttons with positive feel. Display easy to read. Reception seems pretty good in most places around the house and even 200 feet away in the garden. Ringer, speech and hands free volume good. Volume boost, ("Amplify") function for quiet callers very useful. CONS: Sometimes the phone fails to respond to the first button push, so I presume there is a very slight delay while a connection is established between phone and base station. Once I became aware of this, it was not a problem, merely a quirk, really! Although the volume boost, ("Amplify") button is very useful, it's very easy to press it by mistake and instantly contravene any health and safety guidlines relating to safe volume levels! Obviously the design intention was for the button to be easily accessible during a conversation without having to move the phone away from your head. However, once again, it's a quirk and I've got used to it. Summary: After two months fairly heavy domestic use - very pleased. I have not tried the nuisance call blocker yet. UPDATE: Still happy after a couple more months of heavy domestic use. To answer another prospective buyer's question - the ringer can be turned off.

This is an excellent piece of kit, bought for a friend with problems with both eyes and fingers. She is getting on very well with it, so mission accomplished! It has a very readable display, and the buttons are big enough for her. There is a facility for nuisance call barring which we haven't looked into greatly. It is very easy to set up. Contact details and numbers saved on one phone automatically transfer to the other handsets. Calls can be made between handsets and external calls transferred. or 3-way calls conducted. The instruction manual is comprehensive and easy to read - bullet points are in a margin for easy scanning, with detailed text should you need it. That is a very good idea which makes it much more readable. And it looks good, and doesn't take a lot of space up. I ordered it Thursday night, and chose standard free delivery. I had an email to say it would be delivered the following Tuesday which I was pleased with. On the Sunday before delivery date, I got another email saying it would be delivered that day - I received it less than 72 hours after ordering - well done Amazon!

This phone is designed with large buttons and loud volume it aid those with vision and hearing impairment and those who are older, these features work well enough. However curiously at the same time its design has quirks which can confuse rather than assist people. There is a button on the side carefully positioned so that it will be accidentally pressed picking up the phone, resulting in error display and beeps from the phone and confusion in to user. Then there is the phone book. While it has a large display on which information could be clearly displayed the phone book displays the name and the number, the latter unneeded when just scrolling to find a person to call, the size of the unneeded number display is such that any non-local (over 6 digits) numbers do not fit so the phone animates scrolling - so as the user tries to scroll up/down to find a number the phone is scrolling most entries right/left at the same time providing unneeded distraction, and if that wasn't enough the phone book comes with unremovable entries which most users just won't need. Having now spent time helping an elderly person get used to this phone the negatives got very close to swamping the positives. If only BT had put in a little more thought this could be a great phone.

work as described, but ring tone and hands free speaker is not loud enough for someone with hearing impairment, backlight screen is clear, except for someone with vision impairment and too many buttons for someone with Alzheimer's to cope with. Otherwise a good sturdy phone.

Je cherchais un téléphone avec filtrage d'appels. Il est vraiment dommage les modèles vendus en France ne proposent pas cette fonctionnalité et que chez Orange ce service soit payant ! Celui-ci fait l'affaire et permet de bloquer au choix : - Les numéros masqués - Les appels depuis l'étranger - Les numéros surtaxés - 100 numéros à mettre en mémoire (depuis la liste d'appels) Modèle au design costaud et un peu mastoc (-) ! Grosses touches et gros caractères et utilisation très simple (+) bonne prise en main (+) Batteries type AAA (+) ATTENTION (-) : - Manuel (et menus) uniquement en anglais (ce qui n'est pas un problème pour moi) - Il vous faudra impérativement 2 adaptateurs secteur (vendu heureusement par paire sur Amazon 5€20) http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B005H3DWQE/ref=cfb_at_prodpg - Un cordon d'adaptation Téléphone ADSL RJ45 - RJ11 pour une connexion sur LiveBox de la longueur souhaitée ( 3€55 sur Amazon) le cordon livré étant RJ11 prise anglaise http://www.amazon.fr/DITM%C2%AE-Cordon-T%C3%A9l%C3%A9phone-ADSL-RJ11/dp/B00M7WS59M/ref=pd_bxgy_23_text_y
