Just wondered what phones u have (landlines)
We recently had a phoneline put in we brought a bt studio cordless phone bt have nothing but trouble with it not worknig properly batts run out in a day today the batts exploded init and leaked all over the back and the stand so we need to buy a new one i said to oh about just getting a argos range corded one but he wants cordless.

What phone do you have?x

i have a cordless one ,,,, i used to have a bt one but the battery life was crap ,, an hour on phone killed it

i now have a phillips corless one i got it from tescos ( i think its philips )
BUT
i am currently using a cheapy corded thing as i have no idea where my handset is
i hate it as i have to stand under stairs to take a call

I have one where there are 3 cordless phones so that we can have one in kitchen and one upstairs as well as one in living room, was from Tesco, think its Siemens and was on offer for about £55

We have this one. I love it. I can spend 3-4 hrs on the phone some evenings and the battery always holds. I also leave it off the charger for days at a time and it still works. I think the only drawback is it doesnt have loud speaker like my mums does but I dont really miss it.

I think its a really good price and does the job. x

Erm, sorry about the size of the link!

We had/have a cordless one but its never plugged in. Nobody has the number, so I dont see the point of leaving it plugged in for cold callers to piss me off.

I had it in for about 2 months and they always rang on Aimee's nap time - so rather than me bashing the plastic out of it (and the other person on the end of the phone), I decided to get rid.

We have just got our mobiles.

I have a reall cheap one from argos. cordless.

But no idea on battery life as dont use it lol, only got it for internet. only person has our numb is my mum and granparents lol x

Oh just to add, in a powercut a cordless phone doesnt work so you def need to have a working mobile aswell, especially with a LO. Corded phones will work, but I find it a pain being restricted to one place. x

We have 2 cordless ones, Dans is a Siemens Gigaset - not cheap but really good! He uses this as his office phone, so gets used loads - they are rduced in argos now for the twin set! http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5526149/Trail/searchtext%3ESIEMENS+GIGASET.htm

I have a Panasonic not dear but works great and lasts forever! http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5527485/Trail/searchtext%3EPANASONIC+PHONE.htm

We have this one. It's cheap but never had a problem with it. Batt life is good, Imogen is always hiding the phone and there will still be battery left the next day or day after that x

We have BT Freestyle cordless ones (2) The main one in the living room is plugged into the socket but the other in the kitchen is just plugged in via electric (as we have no phone sockets in the kitchen) Its got built in answer machine too.
We have these:

We've had them a good few years and the batteries are still going strong. (and I do use them alot)
My mum got some BT phones after I got mine and her batteries have already gone too, they were never holding charge - so she just replaced the batteries.

I've had Binatone (sp) and imo they are shite. Phillips are very good though.

Also, I would recommend getting a cheapy corded phone for the days when you have power cuts. You can pick them up for a few quid from the supermarkets

Thanks for the replys x Petes actually reserved the siemens one that Dans got Lisa for £20 with answerphone he's paying for it so can't moan xx
