I cannot see how some reviewers had difficulty with its setting-up .....as I (no electro-wiz!) simply followed instructions, and had it set-up (with time/date,. etc) within a minute or so!Very simple! Excellent tone of reception .....neat, and smart-looking .......at an amazingly good price!I do not understand why 2xAAA batteries (provided) AND a mains charger (but I expect they have good reason for this!)My old phone was giving trouble ......and this phone (& Amazon delivery) resolved it, ib a day!

Probably not the most up to date of models but we needed something simple but also with loudspeakers. This set does the job perfectly plus the intercom function is very useful. A useful purchase.

Brilliant phoneExcellent press button to hear better especially for an older person with hearing aids.Value for moneyComplicated in the beginning to useLooks good

The phones are fine. The ringtones are the same ring tones you get with a cheap wireless doorbell albeit with a couple of extra phone ring types, but at the same time they are universally awful to listen to. Thankfully, their job is to get your attention when a call comes in so the racket obviously stops when you answer. There is no weight at all in the base stations, they feel cheap as can be, but they work. The one HUGE downside is the final setup. Once everything is connected the screens are prompting you top set the time and date. Good luck with that. Every set of instructions (including those that come with it) gloss over it nicely, or prompt you to press a button that doesn't exist on these handsets. Instructions (and videos) found online were always for a near identical handset that had 2 extra buttons than these have. I can't remember being this frustrated setting a time on a home handset before. It wouldn't be so bad if the screen just stayed blank, but no, set the time is constantly emblazoned on it until you bow to it's demands. Reasonable phone, awful user interface.

Easy to set up and use, sound quality good

Rubbish, no written instructions, just a few diagrams, managed to put contacts in, but that's about it. Still trying to work out how to block calls (which was the main reason for having it) so still receiving unwanted calls. Don't waste your money.

3 best best best features I’ve found on any landlines and Only ever try to buy panasonic/samsung etc but so so glad we got these. They are for my Nans houses and believe me if you want loud ringing phones well chess are loud of course there’s min to max but these go loud, there’s a single button that calls the other of the pair and literally like walkie talkies we use them for if she needs me to come ito her in to her or get something for her but I’m in another room and my favourite is the speaker phone not only is this loud but there’s a bottom below the star button which doesn’t put speaker on but boosts the handheld volume to a mega volume handheld.I love them and for her it’s great as the layout of the buttons and usage is almost identical to all the other big brand cordless phone with extra very much needed qualities as listed above which I recommend get if you are struggling with a senior and them using or hearing the phonesBRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT

easy to set up, great battery life, loud ring, great phone
