We were given a set of phones when we first moved into our own home but towards the end of last year we found that they were no longer working properly and we decided we were going to have to buy some new ones. We quite liked the idea of having an answering machine as it was what we were used to so we set off to find a set of two phones complete with answering machine. I was quite surprised that we found these phones in our local b & m discount store as we had only visited the store for a couple of bits and pieces before going phone shopping, the phones cost us £35.99 which we knew was a decent price as we had had a look on the internet before we had gone ...  Read the complete review

I recently had to buy a new phone due to the fact that my old one had taken on too many tantrums, most of them from my eldest daughter who thinks the quickest way to hang up a phone is to slam it down with as much force as possible onto the nearest hard object. So, I went on the hunt for that new phone which would grace my house for the next few years or so, as long as I kept it away from my daughter that is. The type of phone I was looking for had to meet certain criteria's, it had to have a built in answering machine, it had to be a size that would not take up too much space on my desk, it had to have built in caller display, and, most importantly it had to ...  Read the complete review

We've had the BT Studio 4500 twin cordless phones with answering machine as our main home phone for about a year now, and its generally been good value for money and hasn't caused any problems. The set of two phones is currently available on Amazon for around £40 which isn't exactly bargain basement price but its not too bad at all for what you get. There are two identical handsets, one with a basic charging base unit and one with an answerphone base unit. The buttons on the handsets are clear, with the numbers and symbols big enough to be easy to see and press, there is a digital display which sometimes tells you the number that's calling you and sometimes ...  Read the complete review

This twin set of cordless phones from BT which include an answer machine as well cost us £39 from Amazon which is a great price in my opinion for what has proven to be a reliable set of phones with good sound quality. Each phione comes with its own base and they each require two AAA batteries which come supplied. As you can see from the picture the bases are different sizes because naturally one of them has to house the answering machine functionality. The only downside to these phones is that there is only a 50 number contact list and while this is quite a lot it is not really enough for the number of phone numbers we wanted to store, I'm a bit annoyed that I ...  Read the complete review

We have had this product for around a year now and it is proving to be reliable. This cordless phone set comes with two handsets and cradles, one of which has an inbuilt answerphone machine. The answerphone allows you to record a reasonably long outgoing message, and holds about ten minutes of incoming messages (not the best available but more than adequate for the average household). The handsets and cradles are very compact and stylish. The cords for the cradles to charge up the handsets are several metres long, which is useful if your electric sockets are in inconvenient places. Each handset has an inbuilt phone book (the two handsets synch whenever you add a new ...  Read the complete review
