... phone and being cordless it comes with a power adapter and base unit. The unit is fairly small and fits nicely into a corner although a wall mount is supplied should you wish to use it. Once fully charged the handset can be used for up to five hours of talk time, whilst if left not in use it will stay charged for around ninety-six hours. It has a range of fifty meters indoors and if you get close to exceeding this then the phone gives off a warning tone. Although this is an analogue phone it still has an excellen...more

When I purchased my first house just over a year ago I found myself making list after list of things to do and buy and very near the top of my ?to buy? list was a telephone. Having lived with my mother until I was 18 and then spent the next five years (mainly at University) renting, it was to be the first time I?d ever had to buy such a product. It was actually quite a strange experience because I didn?t really know what I was looking for. Getting a fair amount of free calls each month on my mobile I knew that the new phone didn?t need to be spectacularly brilliant, just simple and reliable. Therefore baring this in mind I set off to my local Asda to view their range. I ... Read the complete review

About 6 months ago my previous answerphone packed up so I was in the market for a new one.This time I had decided to buy a cordless one as I was fed up just getting in the bath etc when the phone rings.So off I went one saturday afternoon to trail round the electrical warehouses. There are so many choices of phone and answerphone combinations some so big that they take up half the table and some so expensive you dont get much change out of £120. Then I set my eyes on this little beauty ,the price first attracted me at only £49.99 although I think its slightly cheaper now.The phone base unit is approx 7inches by 8inches and the phone is as small as the ...

The Binatone Icarus 8 "high frequency cordless phone" is a modern looking product, with a compact design and many features. Not top of the range, just a cheap analogue gizmo that does the job. It comes in a range of colours: silver, black, blue, green. However, I wouldn't recommend this phone to the very elderly, as I could not explain all the functions to my Grandfather, who I had originally bought the phone for! The little green "reciever" button, made to mimic the mobile phone handset, is too modern and non-sensical for the very elderly. Most of them have never even seen a mobile phone close up! In fact the whole ... Read the complete review

Picture all these scenarios ......... Scenario 1: ------------- You are sat down, well as ladies do, in that little room and the damm phone rings, rushing to pull you knickers up just as you realise you have forgotten to do something when you notice what it was by the dribbles down your leg! Scenario 2: ------------- You have had a hard day, what ever it is doing, so you decide that a nice relaxing bath will help you relieve all the tension from your body. As you lay there, the warm bubbled filled, lightly scented water, swirls around you body, you are deeply relaxed, you don't want to move but you have to, to wash your hair. ...
