Find the best landline phone for you with our expert reviews and top picks.

As self-proclaimed experts in Landline Phones we are uniquely placed to offer advice and guidance on what to look out for. No other online retailer hand-tests and rigorously assesses the merits of one model over another, or one brand over another. We speak to 1,000s of customers every week and undertake a comprehensive customer satisfaction survey throughout the year to gain even more insight into long term usage. The result of all this hard work is this round-up of the Best Landline Phones of the year! This is a live piece of work and is often updated throughout the year as and when we test new models or receive feedback about the most current telephones.

Are landline phones being phased out?

You may have been contacted by your landline provider or heard in the news that the UK will be upgrading its telephone network. What does this actually mean? Put simply, from 2025, instead of the old copper network that is in place right now all landline calls will go through broadband lines instead. The majority of users will experience a seamless transition, but there may be individuals who require new equipment or assistance to adapt to these modifications.

Why should you trust us?

Unlike a lot of other review sites online that create listicles without ever having laid eyes on (let alone used or tested) the landline phones in question, we hold physical stock allowing us to thoroughly review and test each model. We also conduct customer surveys throughout the year to get feedback from people who have purchased and have a long-term insight into reliability and performance, which also forms part of our selection process. Our reputation is extremely important to us and our list is updated throughout the year as and when we test new models and/or get additional feedback from end users.

So, read on to discover our top picks!

    We know that this is an important feature for many of our customers so if a phone drops out a few metres from the base it won't make the cut.
  • Usability
    We have a panel of experts and focus groups who test every phone to find out how easy they are to use.
  • Build & Reliability
    Our extensive consumer survey conducted throughout the year helps us to determine which phones and brands are the most reliable.

  • Best Robust Phone for Durability:

  • Siemens Gigaset E630A Robust DECT Cordless Phone, Single Handset
    Our Verdict

    Built to last, this model is ideal for heavy use.

    What We Think

    A robust DECT phone from Gigaset, the E630A is built to withstand anything that life might throw at it. IP67-certified, it is resistant to shocks, splashes, and dust. That makes it the ideal choice for business environments such as restaurants, warehouses, garages, and workshops. The extra level of protection also makes it a solid pick for homes with young children, since the handset can survive a little more rough-and-tumble usage. A separate base station means that you don’t need to keep the main headset next to a telephone point, and the set can be expanded to up to 6 handsets. Lastly, the Gigaset E630A is also repeater-compatible to provide extra range.

    • Resistant to shocks, water splashes and dust (IP65)
    • Vibrating and flashing caller alert
    • Phonebook for up to 150 entries
    • Large, illuminated 1.8” TFT colour display
    • Up to 60 minutes answer machine messages
