The problem with mine is the answer machine. Hopeless. You have great difficult working out what people are saying, and if you turn up the volume on the answerphone, the ringer volume goes up by about 1000 decibels too. We have missed loads of messages this way. If you're listening, you useless Binatone DECT phone, get your act together over Christmas or you will be replaced. Mandy :)

Hi John, I'm really glad I looked at this thread. We have a Binatone DECT, have had it less than 12 months and it's a load of .....ahem...... rubbish! At least now I know it's nothing I've done to it! We are going to get a new one in the sales. Mandy :)

DECT stands for "Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications" and denotes a radio technology suited for voice data and networking applications with range requirements up to a few 100 m.
