High quality and easy to use - just what I wanted

 

High quality and easy to use - just what I wanted

Better than expected

Got this product because I wanted a phone that didn't kick out a DECT signal constantly. This phone has an eco mode that switches off the whole signal while the phone is not in use. The phone does it's job and was pleased and surprised that it also...
