Top 10 Cordless Phones currently on the market
We tested all phones released based on:- Sound quality
- Usability
- Features
- Build quality
- General performance (range, battery life, answering machine etc)
- All reviews are conducted strictly on phones released in the last 12 months
Siemens features heavily in our list of best home phones and it's no surprise. Their outstanding build and sound quality combined with intuitive features, sets them apart from the rest. So here we go…
What we think: Words can’t describe just how good this phone is. Firstly lets start with its beautiful metal exterior and its gorgeous TFT QVGA display. It really is stunning and is by far the closest thing we’ve seen in a home phone that resembles a top quality mobile. Packed with an array of useful features, this stunning phone is now the no1 seller in Europe. If you have the cash, this is the best home phone ever made - we can’t emphasise this enough. Great sound/build quality, fabulous looks, a host of features and the best speakerphone we’ve come across in a cordless phone. If you’re looking for the best, then look no further - you’ll be the envy of all your friends.

What we think: Yet another Siemens phone in the top we hear you cry. Its been a terrific year for Siemens who seem to have got it spot on and now have a great range of phones - arguably the best. The CS3 surprised us in many ways (all good). An absolute bargain at only £69.99 for the twin, we weren’t expecting much but not only did it deliver with excellent sound and an easy to use system, but it was also quite an attractive phone. Our bestseller and a best buy with Which? to boast. If you’re on a budget but still want a great cordless phone, then look no further. Who said the recession was bad!
What we think: This phone has exceeded all our expectations. It has all the features you could possibly want, looks stylish and look set to be a bestseller for the next couple of years. This Eco friendly phone boasts all the latest features with a great sound and a fantastic colour screen. If you want a business like premium phone with the best sound in the market at a very competitive price, you need look no further. Our only trouble was where to place this phone. It’s not quite as feature rich as the Siemens SL785 (which rocks by the way) but it’s also not as value for money as the Siemens CS3 (which rolls) - stuck between a rock and hard place we hear you cry. If your budget doesn’t stretch to the SL785 but you still want a super sexy new cordless, then the Gigaset S795 come with all the trimmings (except bluetooth).
What we think: The best phone from Panasonic by a country mile. Known for making some of the best cordless phones, it was no surprise again that this year saw them produce another contender for the top honour. Shame it doesn’t have a SIM card reader, otherwise it would have scored a tad higher. It did, however, boast one of the clearest speakerphones in our tests and the first real bargain at only £70 for a quality twin (or £125 for 4 handsets)
What we think: The all singing, feature packed, top of the range SL400. If you want a sexy home phone that has bluetooth and a host of other features, then the the sleek and stylish SL400A is the one for you. With great performance to match, it’s a sure fire winner. Voted in Germany as “Phone of the Year" we are sure it will quickly become a favourite in the UK as well. The best looking phone currently on the market.
What we think: You simply can’t go wrong with Panasonic (or Siemens for that matter). This is their 2010 upgrade to the best selling 6422 (discontinued). It is a no frills phone with all the essential features such as call transfer, intercom, speakerphone, caller display etc. If you’re on a bit of a budget but still want a high quality phone, then this (along with the Siemens CS3) are the only to consider.
What we think: Here it is - one of the best cordless home phones released ever. All round, the top family phone on the market. One of only two ruggedised phones, Siemens have produced a phone worthy of the top spot. For the price, it doesn’t come much better than this. You can read an extended review here.

What we think: The first home phone which looks and feels like a Smartphone. The Siemens Gigaset SL910A has the look normally seen with Apple or Samsung products, a bright full colour 3.2″ touch screen (320 x 480 pixels) which stores up to 500 contacts (each with up eight numbers and a photograph) and an integrated answering machine which stores a generous 55 minutes of messages, room monitoring (so a pair can double as a baby monitor) as well as support for Bluetooth and mini USB. Offering impressive Voice Quality it's the phone everyone would want, wouldn't it be for the price. Starting from £129.99 for the White Version and £139 for the Black, you get what you pay for.
What we think: Bit of a late entry this one which was only released in September. The only high quality corded and cordless phone combination currently on the market. Great for small businesses or at home. Big buttons and speed dial make this phone very attractive. If you ever lose the handset, you can simply make calls from the base. A nice feature which is also suited to business users.
What we think: A terrific phone which we are sure will be a best seller in months to come. The Gigaset C595 is cram packed with useful features including a silent ringer if the caller has withheld their number. Sound quality is clear and the display is a vast improvment on other models. The Siemens C595 should really be a more expensive product - a steal at around £70 for the twin version.

I have a binatone speak easy combo 3610, it is not very good with range, i have a 5 bed room house, the main phone is downstairs at the main door, one in the kitchen( 10 meters away ) shows low range, another upstairs also shows low range and keeps on giving the warning through out the night, so annoying. Yet the specs say 50 m indoor range. Not true
