When our previous cordless phone just died one day we needed another one in a hurry, this one in Curry's seemed to fit the bill easily and having the two phones is a bonus as we can now have one upstairs as well. The handset fits comfortably in the hand and the display is nice and clear. As well as this the answer phone message etc were easy to set up and all in all it is easy to use. The only slight problem could have been that you need to leave it on charge but not plugged into the telephone socket for twenty four hours to put the initial charge into the re-chargeable batteries, this is not an insurmountable problem as most people have a mobile phone these days, but we got around it by having some pre-charged batteries of the right size that we could just slot in to the handsets instead. All in all a good buy.
