Having read various reviews about the annoying beeping sound caused by the phone being out of range, I was hesitant about buying this phone. But I found it on a well know auction site for just under £8 so figured I would give it the benefit of the doubt.
So far, so good. People I have had conversations with using the phone say the clarity is very good. And I haven't had any problems with the range either, but my house is quite small.
I had an idect X3 before. This phone is not as slick and the screen does seem a bit calculator like compared to the idect, but it does what it says on the tin. If you are looking for a basic digital phone, I don't think you can go wrong with this.
