BT Synergy 2150

The DECT BT Synergy 2150 comes with 2 handsets (with base stations) and a built in answerphone in one of the bases. We have had this for a few years and it is mostly faultless.

Pick it up dial and press the green button - just like a mobile OR press the green button, get a dial tone and then call - just like a normal phone.

The handsets have been dropped and kicked on many occasions and still work fine. One has been through the washing machine ..... the 2 line LCD display on that one no longer works, but the rest of the phone does - so not a major issue.

It has some features (a phone book for one) which we cannot be bothered to use, but I'm sure it would be fine if we chose to - we just use it as a standard answerphone with 2 handsets.

The answerphone stores at least 30 messages - we've never got to our limit and due to irregular housekeeping, they soon build up and need a clear own - does not impact performance.

It is silver with dark grey buttons and a small stubby dark grey aerial - so OK to look at but nothing to set the world alight.

Buttons are reasonable size and layout - even for normal man-sized fingers (unlike many mobiles these days).

The wireless range is fine, all over the house, garden and even in the garage - although that distance is not that far overall.

Never had any noticeable interference problems with neighbours, child monitors or wireless networks - so fingers crossed on that one.
