Customer Reviews

Almost Perfect Quad TAM
The set comprises four identical handsets, three with recharging (only) bases, and a fourth also containing the main CPU and answerphone.

Appearance will always be subjective, but I am very pleased with the simple, uncluttered smart silver and grey livery. Size-wise at approximately 6" by 2.75", these well-balanced handsets are slightly larger than average, allowing them to sit very comfortably in the hand and also seem "natural" in use. Careful attention to ergonomics continues with large, clearly labelled and well spaced buttons, and an equally clear display with, again, large easy-to-read characters.

The base of the display shows up to three context sensitive icons (eg. addressbook, menu, call-log), accessed by three soft buttons directly beneath them. A further rocker button provides for navigation up/down the selected funtion (eg. addressbook). All very intuitive and straightforward. A useful feature is that addressbook entries can optionally be copied (easily) from one handset to another, so don't have to be entered multiple times. Unusually for multi-handset systems, it also is possible for more than one handset to connect simultaneously - a handy option, particularly when needing to transfer the call.

Sound quality is crisp and clear, and the effective range impressive; working without dropouts or degredation to the far end of my garden - about 90' and a couple of walls from the base station. Recording quality is quite reasonable too.

As I am really pleased with this set, why not a five star rating? Because I really miss the intermittent "message received" beep from my previous unit that used to warn of new messages. Consequently I have only discovered some messages hours (or in a couple of cases, days) after I should have. I am amazed that such a useful (vital?) feature is missing from an otherwise outstanding system. Also the icons on the answerphone aren't perhaps quite as intuitive as I would wish. But that said, it is a great piece of kit and highly recommended. Just don't forget to look and see if you have any messages each time you return home!

Really good value!
I agree with the previous reviewer who has been clear and accurate throughout although I would mention that a light flashes on the base unit when a recorded call has been received and a symbol appears in all handsets together with a number (of calls) for the same reason. Not perfect, particularly if your base unit is remote from your living area as mine is. However, I like these phones far too much to reduce the star rating! I was pleasantly surprised to find that all four handsets registered themselves without any help from me and also that in setting one I was setting them all. Unless I have missed something, all handsets will have the same ring melody and there there is no choice for the base unit. The main thing is that incoming calls and internal calls do have different ring melodies. Clarity is excellent and on intercom calls, superb! Finally, they don't come any cheaper than from Amazon - they're still a few pence short of £100 elsewhere.

Office Communication
It has only been a month since we purchased this product - so far we are pleased with it. The screen and keys are easy to read and the instructions make sense. Having the facility to send details keyed into memory from one set to all the others is very handy.
