About this deal
jack for use with a headset, micro-USB charging, vibrating alert mode, and some of the best sound we've experienced from a cordless phone. There’s also a handy ‘do not disturb’ mode than silences the phone at night, and a locator in case you lose the handset. Fibre optic broadband is an entirely separate kind of cabling, thus making it unnecessary to have a landline to use the internet. Needless to say, however, that the answering machine can be fitted to every Gigaset A270 combination.
This is actually something that Google launched on its brand new Pixel 3 recently, but BT have been doing it for much longer. When choosing a phone, it’s also worth thinking about whether you might want a second or third handset. In addition, some features of the phone aren’t mentioned in the instructions at all, forcing users to go online to find out how to do certain things.We rate the general handling, including whether the buttons are well spaced and the display easy to read, and also assess how simple it is to operate the answering machine. The latest version even includes Voice Control features, although you might not want to get too excited. It’s a nicely designed handset, slim and light, with a large, clear illuminated display and easy menus and controls. With a repeater, you can achieve up to double the range- useful if you're purchasing multiple handsets! Combining elegant modern design with their trademark HD sound quality, the Hello Phone is another fine addition to the Gigaset range.
Press the illuminated hands-free key and you can talk while cooking, cleaning up, or whatever else you want to do while talking. You can block whole groups of numbers by their prefix, or block a number at a press of the dedicated button. You can literally enjoy that feature for hours, because the long talk-time of 18 hours allows conversations that last as long as you want.The Answering Machine can be operated either via the Handset, allowing you to receive messages away from the Base Station within the range of your household or by remote access. There are louder cordless phones out there, but unlike some budget phones the Gigaset is hearing-aid compatible. All our Gigaset handsets as well as the Gigaset L800HX Speaker support at least the GAP standard and can therefore be used with the basic functions on other GAP base stations/routers.
