Advantages: Great sound quailty

Disadvantages: None

I bought this back a couple of years ago from Argos, and it still is working great.

The unit itself is very easy to set up; all you have to do is place the main answer phone unit into the mains and attach the phones to it. The rest of the phones are now all connected to the phone line by the main unit. So you only need to charge the phones, by the phone charger.

The phone itself is great, the buttons are large which makes them easy to press and the screen is large enough to see what is going on, and the orange backlight makes it all easy to see.

The answer phone unit allow you to use the pre-recorded message or to make your own custom one. The answer phone unit tells you how many messages that are new by showing a flashing number on the LCD. However one bad thing about the phone is that it does not tell you the time or date of when the message was recorded.

The battery life of the phones were great for around a year, and then all a sudden all the phone kept on dying with very little use. So after replacing the rechargeable batteries the phones started working great again.

The phone also allows you to store phone numbers in the phone memory which can be use full. And the phone also supports caller ID which is great as it shows who is ringing you.

One of the best things about the phone is that you are able to intercall the different phones that are on the system for free. So you are able to call a different parts of the house (where the phones are placed), instead of shouting down the stairs!

Overall, the phone from Philips is great and would definitely recommend, but now with newer technology you are able to buy much better phones, such as ones with a colour display or that allow you to send SMS messages.
