Look elsewhere if you want nuisance call blocking or other mod cons, but this is a good, solid cordless phone that just happens to be cheap as chips. It also comes in a choice of five different colours, although not all are widely available. There are models with and without a built-in answering machine, and clear alerts for missed calls and new messages. And while the separate handset charger and base station mean it takes up two power sockets, this does give you more flexibility in terms of where you place your phone.
It has nuisance call blockers to hold scam calls and spam calls at bay, plus a built-in answering machine with up to 40 minutes of recording time. Plagued by unwanted calls? BT has the answer.
Its trueCall virtual assistant asks unknown callers for their name before it puts them through, leaving you to decide whether to accept the call, block it or send it to the answering machine. Specific numbers can be blocked permanently, and you can set the phone to ignore anonymous or international calls. Meanwhile, built-in parental controls let you block outgoing calls to mobile, international and premium-rate numbers. The Premium Cordless Home Phone also features clever mobile sync capabilities, enabling you to copy contacts across from your smartphone or receive calls coming to your mobile through the bigger cordless handset.
