http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5523991/Trail/searchtext%3EGREAT+DEALS+ON+LANDLINES.htm

The display on one of mine doesn't work when I set them up last night.... no stock left near me ARGH !!!!!

Though the phones are out of stock in most of the Stores, i managed to find twin set in Mill Hill Store, which is a kind of out of city store. The Phones are awesome and really worth for the price.
Thanks for the post and wish to add some more hot.. but i think it has reached the top..

i bought the atmos not by choice-only set left in my area
set-up a pain
menu could be better
BUT
the phone is crystal clear on calls, has a nice loud ring,answerphone works
happy for the price for sure

bought wharfdale ones at weekend - taking them back tonite - terrible reception

keeps cutting out so all i hear is bits of each word!!! frustrating!!

load of rubbish or just unlucky

have bought atmos, had to decide between atmos and orb phone, hope it is good

do not know which to buy,

the atmos or orb. reviews in atmos does not seem to good. have reserved both.

anyone bought atmos or orb please give feedback. did anyone neeed to return it

Ended up getting the triple ones by Wharfedale.

Even better i ended up receiving the Quad pack, they seem eally neat and easy to set up, although entering the names in the phonebook is a bit tedious. For £17 its a bargain.

Thanks, head and rep added.

The white Orb phone is good, bought it a few weeks ago. It's well.... white, so looks ultra modern (in an iPod kinda way) and great in the kitchen, but if you've other black electronics might look outta place. Very clear sound, loud ring and there's a handy handset locator on base.

calls to Australia are Free to landline
fullphone emailed me "Instalation cost starts at 40 pounds and end up on 200 for home users. We recomend one for 100 pounds......." but for 40 quid is bargain

If its not an option you can always use access numbers, much cheaper - calls to Australia for 0.5p a min.

I have a landline and adsl but can I still have "full phone" installed on top of that? The full phone website doesn't state how much it'd cost to install one though. I'd like to be able to make free calls to Australia (skype is not an option for the people on the other end.) Thanks!

HAve they got any phones that have internal on them as we have Binatones at the moment that have this function and it comes in very handy for calling downstairs;)

y has this been expired

Picked up a cheap corded phone today for £2.86 :smiley:

Nice!! ordered a
[COLOR="DarkRed"]"Wharfedale Atmos Telephone with Answer Machine Single.
552/3915 "[/COLOR] for £7.34!! Really wanted a double/pair but no stock near me.

So could anyone confirm if any of these phones are GAP compatible - ie will work with other handsets - thanks

Once again if you order a triple set - you mat get a quad set at non extra cost. :smiley:

Managed to reserve a twin set. H&R left.

Edit- the answermachine doesnt work and the ringer cuts out after two rings. This phone does not work- its shoddy. Im giving it back.

Received the Quad pack for my £17.12 :thumbsup:

Doesn't really apply to me, I don't pay impatience tax :thumbsup:

does anyone know if these are rechargeable? It only mentions that the orb ones are.

Picked up triple pack last night (only 3) FYI The ORB seems the best as you only need to enter the phonebook numbers into one phone and then transfer them to the other handsets.

voted hot.. reserved and picked up the photo frame/phone package today from Merthyr retail park store, had the last one me thinks :-s

Been after twin home phones for a while. Great price thanks for the tip ! :thumbsup:

it is but also for users with preferences to make free international calls and once how need more then one number without paying any bills

Tbh I'm one of the people who wouldn't have a landline if I didn't need it for the internet.
My landline phone is only used occasionally if I ring 0800, 0845, 0870 etc etc, or if someone rings me.
So 7quid is ideal for the amount of usage it'll get.

Not true.:roll:
a) The handset has to be able to support callier id.....PLUS....
b) the network has to have the caller id feature activated on your line (some charge for this).

I do second your last point though, both Binatone and Wharfedale handsets are notoriously "junk"!

Stick with Pana or Siemens IMHO, especially for something so important and frequently used like a phone - for the sake of £20-30 why take shortcuts which can impact your quality of life and wellbeing!! :-D

It doesn't have caller ID but if your with BT just ring 2354# and it will happen auto. One warning, I have this phone and its terrible!

Seems a good deal. Thanks OP!!! H&R.

My experience of cheaper brand phones is not so good (Binatone were awful), does anyone know if these Wharfdale are any good???

Take it this is only use for cable broadband users then, as adsl users have to have a landline.

Wow people still use landlines...

Many thanks, picked up the £7 one. Can I use eneloop (ready to use rechargeables) batteries in it instead of the ones it comes with? The reviews said battery life is crap but it only comes with 500mah batteries, whereas the eneloop ones are 800?

I'd never use a landline to ring a mobile, cheaper to use your mobile especially if you have a decent contract, but for ringing 0871 numbers (i.e. Wolves' ticket line) it's much cheaper.

Picked up the Orb Triple Pack - no 4th one for me :-( but still a great deal

Great deal, but the twin phone out of stock everywhere in a 30 mile radius of me!!!

We put them down and can't find them or they all end up in the same room so 4 gives us a better chance of finding a phone that is nearby and is fully charged!:whistling:

Awesome find, most of the Wharfdale sets have gone. I am sure for £20 for a triple you can't go wrong

Well, I didn't get given the quad set unfortunately :x

Still a great price for a triple ORB set, thanks OP. H&R added :thumbsup:

big house, more conveninent.....

Tempted!

Am I missing something? What's the point of having 4 cordless handsets in a house... :?

Thanks, hopefuly reserved the last £8 one in Byker

noticed these the other day when I was browsing forgot to post but hey wicked prices so heat added

as far as I know
DECT is a standard rather than simply just a digital cordless phone
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dect

so just because a phone is a digital and cordless doesn;t necessarily mean that it adheres to the DECT standard.

Masts are all around emitting god only know what anyway, then theres satellites etc, but seriously, does anyone really care?!?! Landline is cheaper than mobile unless youre a tightwad who insists that everyone calls you. My cousin went mobile to avoid the rental costs but then used to givve one ring and hang up so that you called him at your cost.... soon went back to landline once he'd been sussed :whistling:

And is the frequency that these cordless landline phones emit any safer for you than a mobile phone signal?

Does anyone know if I would be able to mate the Wharfedale picture frame with another handset as my visually impared mother would not like the black one, she has to have white to see the thing, and we already have a triple set that she knows how to use, but I thought if I took photo of a white page with each contacts name in big letters then with the caller display feature that someone said brought up the appropriate photo, she would be able to see who was calling.

Does anyone know if any of these have a intercom function?

great deal thanks op, jus charging my pair of nightingales at the mo, they were flying off the shelves like hotcakes!

nice deal ta

You're getting confused. DECT basically means that it's a digital phone rather than analogue. A phone that is compatible with other brands of DECT base stations is referred to as GAP compatible.

Thx for deal.
All three phone types (orb, atmos, engage) linked are available in either 1 handset, 2 handset or 3 handset combinations for £7.34, £12.22, £17.12 respectively.

IMO the atmos looks the best but it does not appear to be a DECT phone.
Engage is DECT but does not have caller id
Orb is DECT and has caller id.

I just bought the Wharfedale Engage Triple for £17 got back to the office and found that I've actually been supplied with the Quad set instead ! Bonus. Just have to find another room now to put the extra phone in !

Heat added.

I've bought the Wharfedale phone with the lcd photo frame.
It's a bit of an oddity. The is stand alone but you can control some functions of the phone thru it (it connects wireless to the base unit). It can be used as a speakerphone. You can set the ring-tones, volume etc thru it.
It displays photos (duh), the time or calender. If you have caller ID you can have it display a pic of the person calling you, which is nice.
The handset is ok, bit tacky.

It's difficult to give a proper review as the handset is still charging. I'll let you all know if I decide to keep it or swap it for the 3/4 handset deals.

Thanks, reserved the florence, most others OOS here.

Resered, thank you :-)

Reserved, thanks.

Just picked up my ORB triple pack..................and got a QUAD pack instead,RESULT :w00t:

Hot deal

JUST what we need!! Thanks :smiley: Heat added

Great find just reserved triple pack heat added !:thumbsup:

Just reserved the last Orb triple pack in stock at my local - getting phones that actually work is one of those things I've been meaning to get round to for a while so this was well timed :smiley: heat, rep, etcetera...

Anyone know if the Orb or Engage have intercom? - I see they are both dect phones so wonder which ones are better.

Bought the triple engage dect last time they did this, and quality of phones and clarity of sound is excellent.

Worth every penny :thumbsup:

Great deal,been waiting over 2 weeks for the binatone ones to come back in stock(£29.96 i think),then this deal comes along.Just reserved the triple orb phones at £17.12,many thanks and heat added :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Just reserved the Wharfedale - at a saving of £37 this deals not to be missed!!!!

Great deal(s)

Annoyingly at 7pm last night I bought a single Binatone unit for £24 from Argos! The wharfedale one at under a tenner has the same ruddy features!

Oh well, can't be bothered to take it back

Have some heat - been looking for a house phone this week :smiley:

The triple pack look a bit tacky, so opted for the twin pack which look good !!

can anyone tell me how clear the numbers are on these phones? mainly for the parents because theyre both blind as bats! however, my eyesight is playing up as well lol

heat and rep also :smiley:

Brilliant deal. I just reserved the Wharfedale Triple set of phones at only £17.12p.

I've been wanting a couple more phones for a while but couldn't afford...until now!

good find.....bought 3 phones for the price of one........plus quidco....

I have the Wharfedale Orb phone (twin pack though). Great phone, especially at that price.

Ah, thanks for that. Have some rep :-D

I only need the two handsets, so will stick with what I ordered

nice find! just reserved! heat.:thumbsup:

heat!
typical though, bought a new phillips double set just recently..
[SIZE="1"](there's always a better deal just around the corner though right)[/SIZE]

Seems a good deal. Just reserved the twin @ £12.22

Anyone know how big a difference it makes to have DECT phones? Is the audio quality that much better etc?

I got the binatone quad set for £29. It's ok but doesn't keep the time accurately. Thinking of bringing it back. But will the warfdale be any better? Too many choices :smiley: Heat added.

Damn that's cheap! Just reserved a single cordless (not the one in the photo, item 552/3915 which looks like a bargain). Thanks OP!!! H&R.

Oh and cheers to the OP, have some heat and rep :smiley:
Been looking for a cheap half decent phone for a while.

Scrap that last comment. It does say caller id ffs lol.

"the triplephone thingy do they all have to be in seperate sockets or is it like you have one main base and three handsets"

You only need one phone socket for the main base unit - the other 2 units are just plugged into a mains socket.

the triplephone thingy do they all have to be in seperate sockets or is it like you have one main base and three handsets

Dont forget 1.5% Quidco (but not on reserve and collect)

great deal check out the digital photo frame plus phone deal for £25
