SIEMENS GIGASET E455 SEXTET SIM DECT PHONE REVIEW
Siemens markets this as a family phone, but it does well as a small-office phone. At the startup where I work, we recently purchased this beauty and everyone even my harpy of a boss is satisfied. It not only projects this professional and elegant image to our clients, but it’s extremely functional. The dark blue finish blends perfectly with the office interiors. I love the handsfree function. I handle purchasing so I make a lot of calls and with the handsfree I can get my paperwork done whilst making my calls. Some features are wasted in the office setting, though, like the room monitoring function. We use the internet call function as well to make calls to overseas clients; it really helps cut down on costs. This is an altogether brilliant bundle. I’m even thinking of buying the twin bundle for my personal use. For six units at 300 quid, this is a pretty good deal from ligo.
Regards Caitlin We have had the product for 3 weeks. So far so good. A bit tricky for the older generation to cope with fully but the young can proceed at high speed. Many helpful features available.
Regards George This is a great package with big savings and not to mention free delivery from ligo. It has all the essential features that my wife and I need, particularly the SIM reader function, SMS, and answerphone. The extras are good as well, we make use of the baby monitor frequently to good results. It’s easy to set up the base station (it just needs to be connected to the mains and to the telephone line) and registering the handsets to the base was easier than expected (few steps and clear instructions in the manual). The dust- and splash-proof finish is the best extra on this phone, perfect for families with young children like mine.
Regards Warren Hudson This system is quite good, lots of features although the sim card reading wouldn't work on mine! Instructions a little too German, a bit confusing. Generally though very good, good range, lots of novel features.
Regards Mr. Pete Whitney Excellent set of phone, very pleased. More expensive than most, but better build and an easy to use menu system.
Regards ST I have needed a telephone which would work in an outhouse, given both the house and the outhouse have walls over a foot thick. This works exceptionally well. I was prompted to buy by a person who had an old house with thick walls. It was not with confidence that I bought it but it has proved a brilliant solution.
Regards Mr. Garry McClellan Just the system we wanted, easy to use and looks smart
Regards M Pleased with this product so far. Particularly
Nice, robust feel to the handsets SIM card reader a good function Good clear sound Nice choice of rings and ring volumes I like the fact that the base station is separate from docked handsets, esp as my line comes into a room where I just don't need a separate handset. Why don't more cordless phones do this? Really nice big clock on face of handset when docked - can read it across a room Otherwise just nice, logical functions. Does what it says on the tin. Regards M Clarke The handsets have to partly assembled when they first arrive which took me by surpise but was very simple. They operate quite like a mobile phone i.e.hold down 1 to hear your voicemail, press the speaker icon to go hands free, etc. Best thing about the system is the range, we live in a 17th cetury farmhouse where the previous Philips system could not cope with 1.2m thick walls but the Gigaset E455 has no problem and clearly shows the signal strength obtained, we are not getting less than 3 out of 5 pips even when 50 metres from the base unit through thick walls. The software is a little slower than I have heard from other systems in putting your call through, that's to say the beeps are slightly leisurely, but you get used to that and its no biggy. The sim reader function I did use for my handset so I have all my frequently used numbers on both my mobile and the E455, no one else in the family has bothered though and I think this may be a little used function for us at least. One thing we do use all the time is sending a text from your E45 handset just like you do on your mobile. Overall an excellent buy, we are very pleased.
Regards Mr. Phillip Middleton Having used previous Dect phones from Phillips and Samsung, all of which are now in the bin, it is worth knowing that these phones from Siemens work as you might hope - they are easy to use (worth spending a little time over setting them up), you can hear the caller and be heard clearly (always helps with a phone), and they have some clever touches. They are not the cheapest, but they are worth paying the extra for.
Regards Andrew Delighted with this product. Handy hint how to format your UK area codes for sim transfer, International code [00] in top left box then [44] in top right box. National code [0] in bottom left box then [your national code without the first 0] in bottom right box,Enjoy Bill Morris
Regards Mr. Bill Morris An excellent robust cordless phone,ideal for home and home/office use.Easy to use with lots of useful features,particularly the SIM card reader and facility to copy numbers to other extensions.The range is also impressive,using in the garden and garage is no problem.Not the cheapest but worth the extra outlay.
Regards graham Excellent cordless system simcard copying brilliant.SMS facility good but need to get to know it having used Nokia mobiles for many years. So many other features similar to mobiles make it the best cordless fone I have ever used
Regards Barrie Really happy with this product the SIM facility is very useful.
