I chose a small price phone, and I was advised Siemens for its quite famous build quality and after reading all the customer reviews on Amazon. I waited to write this review, to be sure not to say anything, and see in time. I am glad with my new phone: not difficult installation, easy setup, free hand of course, very ergonomic keys (not too small and a nice touch) wide selection of ringtones, the volume is adjustable speaker easy to start , quick and easy insertion of numbers, setting the answering machine of my internet provider (Free), too ... It sounds easy when removed from its base, a red light blinks when there is a message on answering machine, he cuts a communication just by resting, listening very clear, finally, it has everything and everything is easy to do. Autonomy: 1 week (the phone goes to sleep immediately after its installation on the base and no need to press the power button (small green phone left) or off (small phone right) it takes and is based Simply But for each use, my little advice:. the first time you charge the battery (recommended 6 hours duration) does not replace the phone in the cradle, wait until the battery is completely empty again, only to set Started (also recommended in the operating instructions) After more worries. You will keep your battery. This is not done only once (or another time and only if you insert new batteries.
