A real ISDN telephone at a fair price

Since the landline telephone companies real (!) ISDN connections either do not offer, or at least not actively market, comes naturally for some years continuously the range of genuine ISDN telephones back. Because of the always low expectant selection encountered consequently almost inevitably on this phone.

The phone itself is comfortable to hold and can be on the rather large keys - which have a good pressure point - operate smoothly and with great men hands. The display is quite small and the menu design looks a bit stuffy, but the menu is very simple and largely intuitive. The voice quality is clear and good. The phone has 15 different ring tones or melodies, that is, the selection is rather low. Summarizing it can be established that the phone while consistently does not peak power, but also has no real hangover.

Now we come to the only point at which the phone stands out, the so-called "full-Eco-Mode". This means that the base station itself, if not using the phone, completely off, ie no longer constantly transmits or radiates. This technique is basically associated with two disadvantages, the battery life of the handset is reduced, and the time from the input of the call at the base until the ringing of the handset is extended.

The shortened battery life leads, in my view in practice no significant limitations, since it should not be a problem with a landline handset to provide every 2-3 days in the base station for unloading. The time delay between call and ringing of the handset is a much more problematic. Over time, I realized that these delays may be up to several rings in some cases! It is fair to point out that special notice in the manual that the Eco mode under certain circumstances by other (located in dividend are in range) cordless DECT phones may be impaired. Since I live in an apartment building, these disturbances were obviously caused by the cellular telephones of my neighbors. After I switched to Eco mode, this problem was immediately gone, and everything works fine.

Consequently, you have to draw a differentiated conclusion here. If you have no problem with it if necessary turn the Eco mode, you get a good solid phone with a good price / performance ratio. If is a factor influencing purchasing decisions for someone but the Eco mode, it should be clear about that, if necessary, your application issues occur.
