Tell Me Something............Anything!

Just got these for two new landline handsets: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/phones...pid=display~RR

Nice and compact, lightweight, easy to use, excellent range, and with a great set of features, including an effective and easy to use nuisance call blocking, plus talking caller ID, which to my easily amused mind is huge fun storing folk as 'Dickhead', 'Wanker', or whatever, and which is rather funny when being read out as 'Dickhead Calling', etc!

Anyway, a highly recommended pair of handsets for anyone like me who insists on having a working landline, not just a mobile phone!

got my son these recently. they block well.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yeah, mate, similar thing

I like the talking caller ID function on the Panys though, as you can hear who's calling from another room and therefore decide if you want to speak to them or not, without having to go to the phone!

this one does that i think.. no name and it doesnt ring out. all those conmen and computers just hang up. it asks for a name if it doesnt recognise the number.

Does anyone call you on it?!

We’ve recently upgraded to fibre broadband and so lost our landline as we’d have had to pay extra to keep it. I wasn’t sure about this but then I realised the only people who ever call us on it are my friend Tim and an older chap I sell hi-fi for (both of whom also have my mobile number) plus hundreds of bloody scammers!

Given that the scammers are all recorded messages now, so you can’t even have a bit of fun with them, we decided the landline was no great loss.

No fibre service here.

No fibre service here.

it will probably come eventually. odd as you'd think london was full of it.. we had fibre to the box for a few years but this year we not have it to the premises too.. they put boxes on the telegraph poles, so a fibre line from that to a box out side and we are boogying at nearly 500mbs. lost the phone but its not much dearer

Same here. 100mbs is now costing us about the same as 7mbs plus a phone line.

Quicker than usual today.
