BT Essential Trio Cordless Landline Phone Set with Call Blocker and Answering Machine

Super simple to set up and wonderful clarity and quality of calls. All ringer and call volumes were excellent and more than loud enough for us. Speakerphone is excellent and very handy when you're on hold! Answering machine is excellent with plenty of options for example call screening via handset or base station. Call blocking features are also on here. No connection issues with full bars on all 3 handset around my home. Overall a very good quality phone in my opinion.

BT has clearly, deliberately dumbed down the spec of these phones to account for the relatively low price....for the following reasons. The missed call icon is a very small, very thin, flashing arrow that appears in the top left corner of the display when you, err, miss a call. You can't see it when the screen isn't lit, and not only that, you can hardly see it when you lift the handset off the base to light it up. Very poor. It could do with a bigger, bolder, solid, non flashing icon further down the screen where you'd stand a better chance of seeing it. Also, the way the date and time are displayed is a little primative. The phone won't let you opt for a 24hr clock, so 1646 appears as 04.46P......so 1970s. The ringtone choices are very limited too. Other than that, the handsets are nice to hold, call quality is good and when inputting your personal phone book you only need to do it on one, all the others get updated automatically. I've not had any stability issues in the cradles either.

Only had these a few years and suddenly stopped working. Been absolutely fine up to now, but just stopped working. Thought it was line so telecoms co. investigated fault, turns out it was the phone. A lot of money to spend on something thats been rarely used which stops working for no apparent reason. Disappointing.

I needed to replace my bt premium phone as it began to remain disconnected after a message had been left and engineers visits and ages spent on the phone couldn't fix it! This phone feels robust enough and is comfortable. The sound is crystal clear to me. It is fairly easy to setup. It does what it says. Button sizes are fine. The negatives are that it doesn't sit very stably in the base, especially the second set. The display is OK but not very clear. It wouldn't suit anyone with impaired vision. Missed calls icon and message left are tiny compared to my previous phone. Answerphone doesn't have an audio alert option that I can find which I will miss as my phone sits in a room I don't necessarily go into every time I come home. The light on second base in my bedroom is very bright! I just put something in front of it! I am quite happy with it for the money but if you are feeling flush I probably consider a slightly better model. I cannot comment on call blocking facility- I hope it is as good as my old phone as itwas excellent.

I’m giving this a 5* review but we’ve only had it a few days so I could be a bit premature! So far so good. It seems sturdy and easy to use.
