We originally bought one of these phones around 3 years ago because we were looking for a cheap cordless phone with an answering machine. However, we had to replace it after just over a year as it stopped working and was just out of warranty! Nonetheless, we were happy to replace it with the same because despite its` faults, it is very good value for money.

Generally the phone is adequate. Plus points are that it's cheap, fairly small, has an answering machine with a reasonable message capacity and the handset has a reasonable battery life. Minus points are that the sound quality isn't great - it's quite crackly (although if you've got reasonably good hearing, this probably won't bother you too much) and the microphone in the handset is quite directional i.e. your mouth has to be in just the right place for the microphone to pick your voice up well. I really struggle to be heard when I`m using this phone yet I have no problem at all being heard on my mobile. However, my husband has no problem at all!

Would I recommend this? Yes, providing the crackly audio won't get on your nerves!
