Good loud ring on it

I am really pleased with this phone.The Ringer Volume is Really Loud!The Volume on a call is Good, but not exceptionally loud, just as good as any other cordless phone Which is Panasonic.BUT The volume on a hands free conversation is Amazing, you would think that the person is in the room with you it's that loud!Easy enough to use as all cordless phones are, I set it up without looking at the instructions as I found it straight forward and common sense.All in all I am really pleased with this phone set and I would absolutely recommend it.

Smart looking . Sound fine on ring tone. Ear piece could be a little louder but manageable.Set up could prove a little difficult for those not technically minded when following instructions.Otherwise happy with my purchase.

The good thing about this phone is that when you are using it you can hit the boost switch to amplify the voice of the person speaking to you, this work well.The disappointing feature is that the ring on the phone when somebody calls you just isn’t loud enough, no louder than a normal phone even when turned up to maximum. If it’s next to you then fine but if it’s away from you and in the cradle then it isn’t loud enough.

Useless telephone system . Yes it might be good for those who are deaf BUT all the phones have to be plugged into a BT main line socket. That’s usually one or two in an house, and may not be placed near enough to use the phone especially for those who are elderly and disabled, they would not be able to reach the phone. There are no additional handsets of this telephone system that can just be plugged into an electric socket. If they had some it would be a fantastic telephone. Obviously the people who make this phone system have not thought it through , e.g the bedroom very important no landline socket, you need aAn additional phone to plug into the wall socket. Same for the lounge. Wasted my money

Thought these would be a bit bigger but very good do far

Alas my mum hates them. There is a boost function but alas it doesn't work for my mum (aged 88). Sounds clear enough to me, but she doesn't like, and that's the end of it!Instruction manual a overwhel.ing for her too

One of these phones is much better than the other, and really good. Who knows why? But both ring louder than my old cordless ones, so I am happy. Not sure their system of callers is the best, but it is OK and I only wanted a phone I could hear ring and which would be loud and clear when I spoke.....
