Best Home DECT Phone

subxero · 3 Aug 2006 at 11:27

Hey guys, looking for a new home phone, with at least 2 handsets for around £100, anybody got any ideas?

Had a look at the latest BT Calypso and Esprit phones, but not 100% sure that they justify their price tags.

was looking for a DECT home phone too, managed to narrow it down to 2 models

MagicBox touch phone

Binatone X1

both are a bit of style over content but they do look nice

Hmmm, we had a Binatone before, and it was that bad that it went back.

So already had that one knocked off the list

Are the MagicBox ones any good?

Nobody bought a home phone recently

Have always gone with BT synergy & never had any problems, Try these http://www.shop.bt.com/invt/cay209 bargain as I paid about £150 for just a twin set.

Just noticed they have the Twin set for only £79.99 thats half what I paid last year.

After our experience with phillips phones I can't really recommend them.
Just got panasonic, seem better build quality, just has a couple of features I don't like though.

Yeah, I tend to stay away from Phillips stuff, tend to find it breaks easily. At the moment we have a BT Synergy trio set, but the base unit is slowly dying

Could well get another one

Panasonic definately.

Got them at home, sell loads at work, and use them at samaritans. very good stuff.
