Binatone Lyris 410

Excellent overall but

As a plain old corded telephone this works well. As well as ringing, there is a flashing light when a call comes in. Buttons are a nice size and have a positive feel. The display is more of a gimmmick and although it does display stuff, it is not...

I got this phone specifically for the caller display. But it is quite impossible to read! Green lettering on a green background is hard enough but the lighting is such that it has to be turned from side to side to get a visible angle. As it's a wall...

Bought 3 for the house. One has a poor display, and all need to view the screen from an angle to see anything.

I own two phones of this exact model. The first phone I bought had poor audio quality (scratchy and/or quiet). That was and still is the biggest problem. Other smaller complaints include: the buttons for dialling are a bit sticky, the speakerphone is...

Has a fairly clear and loud volume receiver. The display is quite large, but needs just the right viewing angle to see it clearly. Has a good range of basic functions. Big let down is the life of batteries around 1 Month these are not needed if you are...

This phone was returned because it did not take messages properly. It was set to allow messages up to 2 minutes long but truncated all recordings after less than 30 seconds.

little disappointed with this could not get memory to work no matter how many times i followed the instructions son or partner could not get it to work either ended up giving it away

had to send this back because the ringer did not work. I had to pay for postage too. It took over 2 weeks to be reimbursed for the phone and eventually I got the postage back in a cheque!

V Cheap and cheerful - the phone is a bit lightweight (literally) but otherwise it does the job (in our case the job being a corded phone to stop our teenagers losing endless cordless handsets)
