Binatone Carrera Classic Corded Telephone

I did a lot of research before buying this and am delighted with my choice....thanks other reviewers!I needed to replace a phone that had just conked out after many years service and with all the power cuts we have had recently I wanted one that works without needing mains power.I have not used all the memories and features etc. yet but caller display, clear sound quality both ways and the clear ringing tone all work perfectly. The red colour is very attractive and fits in, although I didn't think it would...the black version had an answering machine which I didn't want. The display is easy to read although someone with very bad sight might need something bigger. It looks really attractive and is very neat ...and all at a very good price.

Really pleased with this phone.It's aesthetically pleasing, and I often admire it, when walking past.Difficult to 'place' its style...slightly futuristic, in a classic sort of way.The designer should get an award, for producing a 'phone which is different from the legions on offer, but still retains the required features of the basic model.I bought it, partly because I was looking for a red phone, to tone with the colour scheme of my hall.It's in a lovely, classy shade of red, with a slight sheen.Regarding the sound quality, it's really good.I think the ring-tone won't be confused with any other appliances you may have.It makes me smile, and I'd definitely recommend.

This phone looked great and had a fab speaker - the hands free was much better than the headset! It took a while to program things in, and was working lovely. BUT every time the dog knocked it off, the batteries fell out and all the settings and saved numbers got lost! Really annoying to keep having to deal with, and in the end gave up and got a different phone. It also lost all the caller display details, and even when it saved them, you could call back as it took the zero off of the front of the number.A true case of form over function, such a shame as it got so close, but have to say will never get another one.

This telephone was chosen for its looks. However, it not only looks good but also has all the features that I require.In particular, I find the hands-free facility a boon, plus the voice sound is really clear.

I hate to be the one to spoil the party based on the very positive reviews already here. However, I think some things need to be pointed out about this phone.Firstly, and positively, it looks really great. The design is excellent and the controls well laid out and easy to use.However, that is about as far as the positive comments can go. The most important deficiency for me is the fact that, despite the Amazon description stating that the phone has 100 memories, it in fact has nine (possibly 10). In addition these are two-touch memories, requiring a memory button to be pressed before the required number button.The phone is very lightweight and of a cheap plastic construction. It would be very easy to knock it off any table or shelf upon which it is placed. Added to this is the short phone to socket cable provided, amply labelled with dire warnings about using any other cable.Three alkaline batteries are required to operate most of the more complex features of the phone. Not only is the requirement for alkaline (rather than rechargeable) batteries hardly environmentally friendly, but there is a warning that should the batteries expire (after a period of about four months) all memories will be erased.It is very often said that you get what you pay for and this phone amply demonstrates the truth of that statement. It also, to me, is a valuable lesson in not buying on the basis of positive reviews.I have returned mine to Amazon for an immediate refund.

So cute & colour is perfect good value

Last time it was from Argos years ago. I like the old retro style of this phone ☎️ and the extra long swirl receiver 📞 cord and the long🔌 socket cord Batteries don't last that long. But it still works without batteries being in it.

Looks lovely and functions well
