Bought these BT Premium Twin Phones to replace my old BT Verve Plus Phones. I was amazed at the price on ebay and had no hesitation in snapping them up. They arrived in record time and was easy to assemble, with simple and clear instructions to get the phone up and running. I’m really happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it to others.

Truecall is absolutely excellent. Had this on my previous BT 8610 sets and wouldn't be without it. And having it integrated into the phone is really worth having. I'd definitely recommend this. BUT, these BT Premium handsets simply aren't as good as the 8610's - much lower build quality and so slow that I'm guessing there's a much less powerful chip inside. And certainly no cheaper to buy. If these are the 'Premium' range then I'm not sure what this says about the lower ranges. Shame on you BT! So-so value at the £65 that I paid. Rip-off at the full £100 RRP.

Previous reviewers have complained about lightweight/plasticky feel to product and some have noted poor sound quality. But I've found sound quality to be fine and this issue may well relate to individual line quality, rather than the phone itself. Yes, the handsets and base stations are lightweight, which has advantages (and disadvantages), depending on how you use them and, they are made mainly from plastics. But long calls on heavy handsets can be a problem! However, the base stations could justifiably be heavier to avoid being knocked over, or to resist sliding around on a worktop and the charging socket geometry could be deeper, to hold and protect the tall and slim handsets. Their designer's use of high gloss finish on frontal surfaces can also be questioned. While it might be easily wiped clean when needed, this finish choice makes scratches, wear and remnants from sticky fingers far more noticeable than if textured. The digital answerphone playback quality is clearer and better than previous generations that I've experienced and the overall recording time is much more useful than those too. There is no fall-back battery power pack to this system, as found on previous generations, to provide line power during a cut-out. As those are quite rare these days in the UK, I've not yet seen if that absence might cause the unit's memory loss. Although the useful 1000 contact list function can be copied over from a mobile, I've not yet found a means to copy over only a selection of contacts from mobiles which have greater than a 1000-long list (which must be common these days with Google Android phones and synched Gmail contacts, as well as for businesses). So that has been one disappointment so far and prevents a 5* rating for me.Read full review

One good feature I didn’t know about and feel it could help people is you can pair your contacts from your mobile to the phone. You can also take mobile calls on the phone as well.

Would recommend this set of phones easy to use and very easy to set up and a good feature is the call blocking and answer phone and they also look very stylish and tidy
