BT Studio 1500

Rubbish, I've had to replace them all more than once. I purchased new ones and returned the old ones in the same box. Half the time the base will ring but the phones won't and you can't answer. The rest of the time the phones will not dial out because they loose their sync with the base. Also the speaker on the answering machine went bust, and you can't hear the messages that you will get because the phones won't answer the calls. I will never by a BT phone again. Phillips, Panasonic, Motorola are the only brands to go with that I've never had problems with.

Reasonably easy to use (I have 4 phones with one base station). Annoying details e.g. mention of a 'delete' button which isn't illustrated in the manual. Reasonable range within house and garden. Adequate battery life. Answerphone fairly intuitive to set up, and effective in use.

Poor reliability for modern electronics. Very poor repair support. With 4 phones, I don't want to change them all just because the base unit's faulty. The base unit failed after around 14 months. Firstly the line appeared mysteriously 'engaged' to callers, then later no dialtone from handsets was avaliable. Have you ever tried finding a repairer? BT's repair sub-contractor seems to have disappeared for the BT Studio 1500 model. No internet clues either as far as I can see.

i think the bt studio 1500 is a great weephone its cheap and also has an answering machine built in i havent had any problems with mins so im happy :)

My BT Studio 1500 is not an easy phone to use when trying to dial between phones in same house. Loses its memory every time power is cut off and loses extension connectivity. On top of all this one phone has failed after just over one year's use!

My walls stop the BT Studio 1500 working!

I know that's true, to a certain extent, of all cordless phones, but simply by moving around my house I get cut off during calls and find I can't answer the phone when it rings...

I dislike it.
