BT 4600 Cordless Landline House Phone, Home Phone, Big Buttons, Advanced Nuisance Call Blocker, Answer Machine, Quad Handset Pack

I’ve read and read reviews on phones, one of the reasons I bought my old phone which I found disappointing. So I was nervous about acting On a review. However this phone was a really pleasant surprise. Now my husband and I are elderly, this phone is excellent. Extremely easy instructions which makes a change. Very easy to see things and also a decent sound.Recommend

We've previously used a Siemens Gigaset system for our home but found that its features were poor quality and difficult to use and having decided not to go down the route of VOIP, we looked around for a simpler DECT system for the four rooms the phones are installed in (we bought a 4th BT4600 handset as we were so pleased with the system).The plus points are that we able to setup and individually name all 4 phones within minutes and there weren't any problems with them connecting themselves to the base unit.Keypad is nice and large and the display clear and easy to read.Sound volume and quality on hands-free are quite good. I don’t have hearing problems so can’t comment as to whether it is good enough for someone who is hearing impaired.Size and weight we found to be ok but the size may be a little large if you have small or weak hands but that's the compromise for big buttons and display characters.Menus are fairly straight forward. Perhaps not perfect, but certainly better than many phones.The two big features of this phone we really like and have found extremely useful.First is the nuisance call blocker. It's simple but we've found it be quite effective in stopping nuisance callers. Quite simply if the callers telephone number isn't in the phone's directory, they will be asked to identify themselves. When you answer the phone, you get to hear what their response was. If you don't trust the caller then you can simply reject the call. Simple but effective enough to put off the spam caller.It won’t stop a robot caller but as a robot system can’t identify itself when asked and it won’t be able to press the # key it’s not going to get very far.Second. At bottom of the handset is the ‘Record’ button. Press it at anytime to record your conversation (records both parties voices).Negatives.This phone doesn’t have any means of transferring data to/from your PC, such as your contacts list. Handy if you want transfer your Outlook contacts or to use your own music files for ring tones.Limited choice of ringtones.The callers telephone number scrolls around the screen making it impossible to read. If the caller isn’t in your phone directory, then at least you can see the area code they’re calling from.As a footnote. Some reviewers have complained about the sound quality and the display. I wonder if they know that there is actually a menu option to adjust the tone and also one for display settings!!!

Excellent telephone with many good features; nice size handset, comfortable to use, and comprehensive handbook with all the information you need to set up and use the phone. Very happy with my choice and would recommend to others who, like me, maybe deaf because the ring tone is loud and perfect. The answerphone is also easy to use and alerts me when there is a message.

The large buttons are a big help for my mum who is 87.Easy to set up and use

The call barring system is amazing!!My service provider dropped the ball and listed my number after decades listed ex directory.Despite trying to get this resolved, I was informed to change my number?I've been receiving constant nuisance calls to the point we don't even answer the phone, literally driving us crazy!Well since purchasing these phones, it's been life changing, with the press of a button we selected call barring and now if the number calling is not stored in the phone under VIP, the incoming call is screened, prompting the caller to leave a name or number followed by # only then will you be notified there's an incoming call and only then if you want to receive or reject it! - couldn't be any easier - no cost - no number change - No nuisance calls 👍🏻😊It's certainly a game changer for us and couldn't be more satisfied.I've included a few photos of the phone and a brief copy of the features.It might be a bit bulky, have a plain design, and not boast any particularly striking visual elements. Its functional and practical, a workhorse rather than a showpiece. It prioritizes functionality and performance over design and visual flair, but we love it!
