BT Diverse 6450 DECT review

This is a great phone, packed with features. First, and most importantly, sound quality is good. It's easy to get your address book stored on it - you simply put your mobile's SIM card into a little tray and within a few seconds you are set up. The address book is easy to search as well. It can send SMS messages as well and has some nice advanced features, like setting up different ring tones and different pictures for each caller. These can also be downloaded from a pc, if you can be bothered. It has a good hands free mode so all the family can chat to Granny at the same time. The answerphone is neatly integrated and easy to use. Downsides? It doesn't have speed dial (although you can set up a close alternative) and whilst the styling is miles better than some cheaper phones, is still isn't 100% slick. However, at the Ligo prices, it is fantastic value for money.

substantially made and easy to programme. This is a quality item
Regards Mr. John Turner

very happy with this purchase. both the service from liGo Electronics and the phone itself. the sim card reader is very useful. the hand set's comfortable & easy to use.
Regards Mr. alex marks

An excellent phone with a clear colour LCD and better sound reproduction than most of its competitors that we have tried. Our only problem was that 1571 kicked in before the answering machine but cured this by switching off the 1571 service.

Iwas unhappy with this item.It is over complicated, and the buttons are too small and close together for my wife who has mild arthritis. My ideal was the bt Diverse 2015, which had everything a cordless 'phone should have for normal use. Also the 'phone seemed to have been used at least 20 times before I received it. One of its complications is that it records all calls made
Regards Mr. michael webb

Good looking phone. Nice colour display. Excellent sound and reasonable range. Have not tested the speaker phone. Sound is fairly low through earpiece provided.

Have to admit I like just about everything about the 6450 apart from the very cheap looking main base unit and, my biggest gripe of all, the poor handset naming feature. Why poor? What is the point of having a handset naming feature if you cannot then make internal calls to handets by seeing the name given to them in a list.

A real opportunity missed if you ask me. Why be able to name handsets only to then have to remember what number each handset is when you want to call another handset or transfer a call to one. Real let down in my opinion. If it had this feature I would give it 5 stars.

Anyone know of a phone which has this feature?
Regards Neil

I am delighted with the 6450 telephone. I particularly enjoyed downloading my address book from my mobile phone sim card. The answer phone is clear. The set up was simple and quick to do. The handset is clear and in colour and the digits feel comfortable to use.

We had a Panasonic for about a year, but it kept developing faults, which was why we decided to buy another phone so soon. The BT Diverse 6450 DECT has been a much better phone, particularly with regard to the ear piece. On the Panasonic KXTCD580 it you moved the handset a little it became difficult to hear the caller, but there are no such difficulties with the Diverse 6450. We wanted a phone with answering machine that we could use hands free, particularly with an ear piece, and that's pretty much all we use it as. I like being able to switch the ringer off on the base station and the handset as I do meditation and therapy work, and it's great to be able to silence both pieces of equipment very easily from the handset. I believe we've received an SMS message on it, but we're unlikely to be using it for that ourselves. The phone probably actually does more than we need, but it does everything we wanted, so we're very happy with it. Being able to change the wallpaper on the display, and the various ringer options is fun. The only thing I'm a bit disappointed about is the size of the handset. I was after something very neat to carry around in my pocket, and it's a bit awkward for that, but that's the only negative comment I have to make about it.

Very happy with the phone except for the volume. At level 5 still not particularly loud.
Regards David

very happy with the phone, setup was easy to understand. features plenty of, i would recommend this phone.
Regards Mr. colin pashley

great service, also phone arrived as i expected.
Regards Mr. Nick Simou

This is a really nice phone: good clear sound (at ear or on hands free - not tried the ear-piece yet), noticeably better reception than my previous BT DECT phone and a very clean easy-to-use interface. The whole interface is menu driven, very nicely integrated with the base and, while not quite up to Nokia standards, is pretty close to what you expect from a mobile and nicely backwards compatible in interaction style with my previous BT phone.

Only one gripe: You can assign a photo to callers which is displayed when they call - neat, but it sticks a big window over the photo saying who's calling. Took me 5 minutes to stop my wife giggling at my bald head pocking out above the window!!

My first order from Ligo and very happy with the service from them - fast and smooth. Alas, the phone's so good I doubt I'll be back for a while...
Regards Mark

Really good phone. intuitive easy to navigate menu system (in colour which makes it pleasant to use). My reason for choosing this model was the SIM card reader, as I am too lazy to type in all my friends and familys numbers in manually. Worked like a dream - 140 numbers transferred in 2 minutes, instead of the hours it would take to do it by hand.
Regards Dr. Peter Reide

Excellent phone. Very easy to use. Loads of useful functions. Superb extras. The only negatives I have is that even on max volume, ringer not very loud. If you do not have a BT line, caller display doesn't work.
Regards Aileen

Very good phone. I bought it because of the handsfree kit function. Good call quality, although it doesnt go as loud as I would like. Reception etc fantastic
Regards Dr. Mehul Lakhani

Very attractive and easy to use phone with all the functions you could possible want. Good example of how DECT phones are getting very similar to mobile phones in appearance and functions. Nice selection of screen wallpapers and polyphonic ring tones come pre-set with the phone.
Regards Graham

Nice phone
Regards Matthew

Very good sound quality, including when using a headset, and you can increase the voice volume.
You plug the headset on the handset so it becomes a wireless headset.
It really saves time to be able to copy from the sim card. You can even use that function to copy from one simcard to another.
The usb connection is a bit useless as you can only transfer pictures and ringtones. It would be better to be able to transfer the phone book.
Regards Mr. Serge Bosque

Was a little cautious as a new online shopper but Ligo made it very easy for me. The product was very well described and layed out as well as enlarging the images.
The phone itself is fantastic. Exactly as described with all the features functional, everything in the box and nothing wrong at all. Well worth it!
Regards Muzaffer

Fantastic new phone from BT, great price, next day delivery, what more do you want from an online company?
Regards David

Top Notch - love the headset although my wife things it looks too camp: ;-). No instructions how to register th headset with the phone though. Had to search online in the end. In summary a good product.
Regards Malcolm

Works exactly as expected. Excellent range and quality and a doddle to set up. Headset is a real bonus. Only minor quirk is that I could only upload something like 8 pictures before the phones ran out of memory, and those pictures are obscured with the callout box containing the callers name when I get an incoming call. Think I can live with that though!
Regards Jeremy

Fantastic pair of Items that work very well together. Only slight problem was pairing them up, but once achieved all was well.
