BT Premium Cordless Phone with Advanced Nuisance Call Blocker, Twin Handset

Vioce is not clear as I thought otherwise its good phone I likes thanks.

Stylish, very easy to set up, efficient monitoring of calls.

My old set of BT phones was knackered and needed replacing. Decided to upgrade to this as wanted good call blocking options. Very happy with my purchase and service from ligo was excellent - friendly and helpful staff!

Certainly lives up to its name! A bit on the expensive side as far as home phones go but feels extremely high quality. The call blocking feature is outstanding and has completely eliminated the nuisance calls that we were previously getting multiple times a day. Setting it up is easy and the option to sync contacts from your mobile makes it even simpler. Best of all though it sits really nicely in the hand so is a pleasure to use.

I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing this phone with such mixed reviews but having already exhausted all means of trying to put an end to nuisance calls I decided to give it a shot. I've been using for a few weeks now and here are my thoughts:

The handset has a nice solid feel to it, bright clear display, and is comfortable to hold and use.

It's important to note that you will need caller ID from your landline provider in order for the call blocking to work. The call blocking is very straightforward and works so that if an unknown number calls, they get displayed and you can either choose to accept the call or add the number to your blocked list. If you block them, they get a message telling them they are blocked in future. If it is a genuine caller who haven't already been added to your phone book and you allow the call to come through then they will have to pass an additional call screening step. So it is important to ensure that your family and friends numbers have been input to your contacts (you can connect the phones via bluetooth to import contact from your mobile). Callers can pass call screening by announcing who they are, which then prompts your phone to rings and announces the caller with recording so you can decide whether or not to accept the call or reject and block. It does take a bit of time but I feel is worth the long term benefit.

Another useful feature is the ability to block entire area codes, which means you can block all calls from a particular country. You can also block calls beginning with a set of numbers, which should reduce cold callers from insurance scams, pension scams and the like. It really does cover all bases and I haven't had a single nuisance call since it has been set up.

The only downside compared to our previous set of phones is the sound quality is a bit tinny and not quite as clear on speakerphone. And the selection of ringtones. But these are outweighed by the benefit of not having to contend with nuisance callers every day!

Overall I think these are fantastic phones and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to combat themselves against nuisance calls! 5 stars
