Following a disgraceful 'lost weekend'-style series of drink-induced events involving (amongst other things) the flex of our previous landline and a large pair of scissors, we were left temporarily bereft of a telephone round at our house. This BT Decor 1200 was the cheapest corded 'phone they were selling at our local Tescos, of which they had a model left in stock yesterday. It cost £22 which I thought was a bit steep, but not being mobile phone users in general, we were desperate. Not being a mobile 'phone user I have never expected much in the way of 'bells and whistles' from my 'phone; with the one had before, you picked it up when it rang and / or ...  Read the complete review

We recently went to Currys in search of a new corded telephone. The previous one was on its last legs (literally, part of the base had snapped off and it was wonky). My only requirements were that it be reliable, simple to use and have speakerphone facility. The latter was particularly important to me.

The phone is corded so you know where it is at all times. ...  Read the complete review

Solid, easy to use and good functionality. Ideal for the one phone in your house that is not cordless - remember you ought to have one as it will still work in a power cut, which cordless ones don't. As with most BT products, it was well packed and came with a sensible and easy to read instruction manual (not a poorly written novel!) The cable is long enough and style wise, this looks a smart phone. It can be wall mounted. Has redial button and remembers incoming call numbers so you have a list of missed calls if you are away for a while and they don't leave a message on 1571. The best thing about this phone for me is that ...  Read the complete review
