Title: New handset for the landline
Post by: Pastis on October 16, 2011, 05:48:21 PM: My old Cable & Wireless handset was beginning to go on the blink; it must be getting on for 10 years old so I've purchased a new one cloud9:

Siemens Gigaset eeek: . It said, and I do read the manual, fully charge and then let it completely discharge before use ... 230 hours of standby eeek: that's nearly 10 days!
Bollix to that, I've started loading the memory and playing with the ringtones ... there's a nice Wallender'ish one I might use.

What d'you use?

Single Binatone "Style" on the second line in my study only.

They do have different ringtones but both systems are set to sound like telephones ... no music.
