Key Features

An Answering Machine with Extra Benefits

Fully integrated into the base, the answering machine offers 45 minutes recording time. Its feature pallet includes a skip-back function for quick repetition of part of a message – and voice announcements of the date and time of the message. Just look at the handset’s display to quickly check for new messages – and even use the handset to access them. For personal or business calls, record important phone conversations with the answering machine’s call recording feature. Benefit from the Gigaset SL400A’s answering machine even when you’re out. Remote message retrieval lets you listen to your inbox from an external location. Plus, a text message to your mobile notifies you when there’s a new message.

World Class Materials

Only the best: the Gigaset SL400A features a genuine metal frame, giving home telephony a first-class aesthetic and an exquisite feel. The illuminated genuine metal keypad not only looks great, it also guides you to the numbers you need with ease. Equipped with the best technology and materials – both inside and out – the authentic Gigaset SL400A reaches new heights in home telephony.

Customise the Visuals

The Gigaset SL400 boasts a large 1.8” high-resolution TFT colour display, which makes reading and navigating simple. It's easy to personalise your phone; upload photos of your friends and family to the phone and then assign them to the appropriate telephone numbers. Next time they call, the picture caller ID feature shows the corresponding photo on the display. Also, you can select uploaded pictures to use as screensaver, or view a slide show of your favourite memories.

Choose Your Favourites

In expert mode, you can customise the menu view to include the features you regularly rely on. The simplified features list makes it easy for you to find the functions you truly use and need every day – and the rest are simply hidden from your sight.

Effortless synchronisation via Bluetooth or mini-USB also keeps your address book current.

Pocket-sized and Loaded with Extras

Lengthy calls are easy on the Gigaset SL400A: it has a generous talk time of up to 14 hours and a standby time of up to 230 hours. The four hands-free options for flexible calling in brilliant sound quality let you select what’s best for you. Inclined to personalise? Select the ringtone on your Gigaset SL400A that fits your own personal taste, or use the vibracall feature on your handset, which vibrates every time there’s an incoming call.

ECO DECT - Pure Energy Savings and Radiation-free

The energy-saving power supply of the Gigaset SL400A consumes less electricity, so it’s kinder to the environment, and kinder to your wallet. Like all Gigaset cordless phones, it variably reduces the transmitting power from the handset to base station depending on their distance apart. You can also reduce the transmitting power of the Gigaset SL400A’s base station by 80% simply by selecting the ECO Mode. Furthermore, radiation-free ECO Mode Plus turns off the transmitting power when the phone is in standby.

Style Name:Twin
This equipment is undeniably expensive, but worth every penny. Instant and easy installation. Great feel to the handsets that look and work more like mobile phones than usual wireless BT or other wireless phones.
Typically we have bought BT equipment that has always worked well, but over the last 21 years we have found that the life expectancy of a system is around 5 years before (even after replacing the rechargeable batteries) the system has had to be replaced. For the occasions when we have bought cheaper phones we have thrown some systems away after a few weeks, so this time the change was planned to last for longer.
The batteries of the new phones are mobile phone types readily available from internet sellers and the features such as bluetooth connectivity to address books etc. is easy to use and very useful. Additional handsets can be added (as we have) to extend the system. Range is exceptional and we have no reason to regret in any way our investment.

Lovely piece of kit 26 Jan 2011
By ANH
Style Name:Twin|Amazon Verified Purchase
We have tried various DECT phones in the house and they have all fallen short one way or the other, usually because of poor keyboard and ergonomics (the current Panasonic line) or simply due to such cheap build quality that the units fell apart. Quite why there are so few quality phones available that are built to last, I do not know, but the SL400 is one of them. The units are quite small, about the size of a large mobile, but they are well made and comfortable in the hand. The keys are easy to use although if you are elderly and have fading vision they might be a problem, but they do have a backlight, which is a tremendous help. The keyboard action is positive, the screen is fairly high definition and easy to read and you can even increase the size of the typeface if you find the default size hard to read. The volume is okay, though it could do with a few steps more volume at the earpiece on the phone and the handsfree volume is far too quiet. Works well with bluetooth and I transferred all my address book from an iMac without breaking into a sweat. The manual is available as a pdf, but the firmware works well and the menus are simple to understand. Setting it up involves plugging everything in and er... it works.

Siemens Gigaset SL400A Twin DECT Bluetooth Cordless Phone - Black / Silver

The SL400 is a joy to use. It's stylish, sleek and feels robust. The only thing that it doesn't do is stand up which would be useful in handsfree mode. I do like the way that Gigaset have endeavoured to capture the essence of a mobile phone in the build quality and features of these handsets. You even have the option of vibration alert instead of ringtones. Whilst there is a reasonable number of ringtones you can also add your own i.e. MP3. You can also allocate different ringtones to individual caller profiles.

The backlit keypad has slightly oversized numbers which makes them easy to see even when the backlight is off. The menu display is clear and whilst the text and numbers font is fairly small the contrast is high which makes it easier to read.

The range appears to be good although the weather hasn't been good enough for me to venture outside to the garden.

The quality of the audio in normal and handsfree is high. With my Plantronics bluetooth C65 headset the volume is OK but could benefit from another couple of levels up. This may well be dependent on the headset and a newer one may perform better. I've ordered a newer headset and will update the review on whether this makes any difference. As it stands, in my home/office environment it's fine, but in a noisy office I would struggle with the existing headset combination.

The software that comes with it allows you to synchronise your Outlook contacts. Bonus points to Gigaset for getting this to work with the latest version, Outlook 2010. (Be aware that the plugin only works with Outlook 2010 32-bit and not 64-bit). This does work well enough but could be improved. I have over a thousand contacts and it only allows you to sync 500. The obvious solution to this would be to allow you to filter by category then you could simply add Gigaset as a category. I will be making this suggestion to Gigaset directly.

Also you can add images to your contacts but this has to be done manually. The software should be able to import the images that you have already added to your Outlook contacts.

One nice feature is that when it is sitting in its dock it displays an analogue style clock with minute and hour hands the hands, hours and minute markers are in white. There is a pleasing seconds sweep effect as the individual hours and minute markers turn red and then back to white as the seconds are marked off.

This is a great effort from Gigaset and if they could sort out the sync software issues I would consider giving this a 5 out of 5.
