4.0 out of 5 stars
Simple, stylish and does the job, 28 Oct 2009
This review is from: Magicbox Colombo 212022 Triple Dect Cordless Telephone - White (Electronics)
I bought this triple pack following probelms with and upstairs extension, we couldn't resolve the crackly line and the engineer advised that I purchase a pack of cordless phones. The bad review almost put me off but I am so glad it didn't.
I love the style, most cordless phones are ugly, stand up and don't particularly go with any decor. Not these, they are small, neat and blend in beautifully.
Now to function: there are oodles of features on these babies. An ample phone book, caller id, intercom, hands free, an answer machine that can be easily switched on or off to name but a few. I have in the past had a very expensive cordless phone but these are far far better and with DECT the sound is very clear.
I am chuffed to bits with this purchase and would recommend them to anyone wanting a classy home phone that's easy to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent, non phallic phones, 10 Dec 2009
This review is from: Magicbox Colombo 212022 Triple Dect Cordless Telephone - White (Electronics)
We were looking for something stylish, effective and discreet.
Most of the dect phones on the market look phallic, unnecessarily complicated and shiny.
These are easy to set up, have a good range of ringtones and clear reception.
The phone book can be entered into one handset and then transferred automatically to the others, and only the first handset requires a telephone socket.
The other handsets just need a mains socket, and the adaptor/charger is about the size of a 3 pin plug.
My only criticism is that you have to go into the menu in order to access messages on the answering machine, a one touch option would be better.
Overall i wouldn't hesitate to recommend these phones.

Nice but ...., 2 Feb 2011
This review is from: Magicbox Colombo 212022 Triple Dect Cordless Telephone - White (Electronics)
Searched these out and bought in 2007 (triple pack in white) because I particularly wanted a set that could be wall mounted. These were one of only a few that fit the bill and also looked good.
Given all that my opinion is that
1. They do look good.
2. wall mounting option is poor in that they either don't stay in place or they stay put but don't charge up.
3. Call logging, a basic feature, is missing
4. They don't indicate a missed call.
5. I don't use the answering machine as our Telco provides this service for free so we turned that function off so that maybe a reason why the unit doesn't indicate message waiting which our previous (Siemens) DECT phones did.
Overall I would say that if style is important then this will tick the box but if a phone is your requirement then perhaps this isn't the answer.
