Great Phone in conjunction with a matching FRITZ BOX

Introduction: So far we have an ISDN telephone (5years old), which was connected to the Fritzbox 7170. Since the phone has now unfortunately adopted technically and now a new was needed, the search began for phones and their options. Quick lot to me that today's phones work for Internet telephony mainly with DECT, in the router, in which case the Fritzbox as a DECT base station acts as the station of the phones can be used only as a charging station. The Fritzbox 7170 has not got a DECT base station. As at 1 & 1 with a contract extension for 20 Fritzbox 7362 will receive, including a DECT base station. Thus, this phone was in question was ordered, since it advertises great compatibility with various Fritz boxes.

Installation: After the Fritz box was installed in no time, it picked up the phone. We'll see if it's as simple as it is claimed. Phone out, battery in, cover to connect station to the power grid, the telephone station (battery was supposed to be loaded). The phone went to the Battery immediately and reported to my surprise, that one should not hesitate to press the DECT button on the Fritz box. As instructed, I did so. After a few seconds the phone with the box was connected. Then enter the phone which was connected via WLAN with the Fritz box into the address bar in the browser fritz.box, logged into the router, and search for the device. This was easy but because there is an extra field called DECT! There stood the phone and only had to be set up, which was done in a few seconds. Assign names, select the phone number and yes, that's it!
Then I immediately installed the answering machine, also very easy.

Sound quality: absolutely great, I can not complain and can not understand is why complained. But may certainly be due to the router, Internet bandwidth and built-up lines and Internet stability.

Range: The range is great! Throughout the apartment and on the roof terrace reception! There are if required even not possible to get an alarm when you reach the limit of the range.

Appearance: The appearance is good, as I find very modern, however, as already repeatedly described the front with piano lacquer, which can result in fingerprints. Is a matter of taste!

Answering machine: The answering machine I would like to dedicate a few words, because this is just great. It can be set individually if only announcement or recording, from when to start, how long it should take. There will be a message or you can also discuss self. It is great that the caller, regardless of whether they plan to talk, hang up when announcements or even before the announcement always hang up the number in retrospect can be seen. So even someone who forgets his number in the message can be recalled. In addition, you can listen to the answering machine without the station. Listening works exclusively via the handset. Additionally's great that the AB can not be heard, it rings when the AB rangeht, there is a discreet beep and the wars. Very nice, especially for pets, if not be heard immediately getting the whole message and the caller's message. Just a great AB

Overview:

Positives:
Easy installation -
- Sound quality top
- Great voicemail
- Reach well
- Look pretty
- Interaction with the Fritz box perfectly

Negatives:
- Piano black
- Is not ideal in favor of optics in hand

For durability, nothing can be said, is also a long-term test I ultimately indeed can not perform.

Overall a great phone for all with a Fritz box, which has installed a DECT base station!
