Home phone suggestions


Digsy

Recommended Posts

I've decided to replace my home phone but I am finding that while most of the normal offerings from Argos etc. fit the bill they are a bit on the boring side. I'm a bit of a gadget freak and I want something a bit more "lifestyley" without paying through the nose for it.

My wish list is:

Cordless (yeah I know, but it pays not to assume!)

Two handsets

Integrated answerphone with recordable greeting and about ten minutes+ record time.

Caller ID display

Phonebook

Able to read contacts from SIM card into phonebook.

Phone book synchronisable between handsets.

Good quality hands free speakerphone.

Alarm clock function (I use my bedroom phone as a failsafe alarm in case my mobile one fails to go off).

Stylish design.

Budget - approx £100

Not interested in:

VOIP

SMS from landline

Anything which is "form over function" (B&O etc).

"retro" phones

In case you are wondering why I even need a normal home phone in this day and age, my house is in a blackspot for just about all the mobile networks. I am, however, looking into the Vodafone mini cell thing where your mobile goes over IP.

I almost bought one of these plus an additional handset, but it got such mixed reviews that I didn't bother.
