I can't believe that it's actually legal to sell this kind of junk. There must be something about it in the Trades Descriptions act.

About 1 1/2 years ago, we invested in the answerfone version of this phone, with 2 handsets.

The first (and main) problem with it, is the speed of communication between handset and base station is appalingly slow. If I press 'call register', for instance, it can take up to 5 seconds for the screen to appear. Same with any of the other functions, which makes putting phone numbers into the memory a complete nightmare - in fact I gave up doing this about a year ago. We now use a good old-fashioned paper address book. In fact, It takes me about the same amount of time to walk into the next room, get the address book out of a drawer, and then come back and look it up instead of using the directory feature This is no exaggeration.

Over the last 3 month, all the keys have started to seize up. Some of them don't even work now. One one of the handsets, when someone ring and I press the answer button, it just puts them straight on hold.

Anyway, I just though I'd come on and review this piece of rubbish before I throw it in the bin.

Good riddance.
