CONCLUSION:
After the trouble-free for more than 8 years of Siemens Gigaset 100 (which still works), I go to the Gigaset AS285 to extend the functionality and for an answering machine.
This pack 2 handsets / answering machine is very satisfying.
Siemens again demonstrates its ability to design good phones.
It fully met the expectations of a modern phone without useless gadgets and a great price.
