Had a Phillips Dect (Pair) phone for ages, cant remember model but I know it sounded like Onice or something. Keypads ened up becoming naff.
Tried a couple of other Phillips DECT (Returns I reckon - Unaware at the time - Cheap from fleebay) no real joy there.
Then bought BT Elise DECT phones, SMS, colour screen, Simm copy etc. Nice phones. Now ones struggling to hold full charge on 2 x AA replaced hi-power batteries, and the main handset is suffering button issues again, probably only dust under the keys but thats what I liked about the Phillips having a sealed keypad.
Ready for some new phones. Heard Panasonic are good.
SMS is good, SImm copy dont mind either way.
Needs good stand by and talk power time. colour screen and as many other options on offer as poss.
Any suggestions.
TIA. :y :y

replcae the batts in your existing?

I have a collection of Philips Onis DECT phones in the loft. About the only thing that works on them is the keypads, which are in great nick. You're welcome to them if you want to do some surgery.
On one set they started eating the batteries very quickly. Other set the base station died so I gave up. >:(
I've got a couple of lovely phones that use a cable to connect to the socket in the wall now. Much less hassle. They could catch on, I reckon. ;)

Had Panasonic Dect for a few years, been good.
Not the easiest to use - funny keystrokes etc.
Why does a phone need a colour screen though?

Have done that twice now.
Only a problem on one handset there though. makes no difference swapping them over on the chargers either. :-/

Don't buy a BT Synergy 4500. I bought a quint set and they are awful. Loads of buzzing in your ear, speach not loud enough in your ear even on max volume to have decent conversation with someone, one of them has failed altogether, if you dial too fast it gets into some sort of a dialing loop. Honestly - I use my mobile phone in preference to this piece of junk.

it seems they are all made to to price now, and seem to be less reliable than older models.

Fraid not - it's a very very basic phone, which suits me fine, I use the iPod for every thing else
