SIEMENS GIGASET E455 TRIO SIM DECT PHONE REVIEW
We had BT phones in the past but they were always a bit flimsy and prone to only lasting 5 mins. Then we saw the Siemens E455 and read its description, also saw reviews telling us how great they were so decided to give them a try.
We have had them for 2 weeks now and they are brilliant, just what it says on the box, robust, sturdy and easy to use. Definitely kid proof, even our 6 year old hasn't worked out the key lock yet. Only small problem was getting the sim card reader to work, was a bit tempremental but got it working in the end. Yes, they cost a bit more than other phones but with all the features and how well made they seem to be you can't argue. I'd rather pay more for these phones and them last than a few quid less for a BT one or similar for it to break just after the 12 month guarantee runs out :) Regards K Francomb 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 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 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 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 Works well - some of the ringtones are a bit quiet, and panasonic models can give different ringtones to different groups - this one seems to only allows one VIP group. Answerphone records
Regards Keith 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 A great cordless multi set. Easy to use and navigate, although as with most digital handsets the pre loaded ringtones leave something to be desired. Don't be put off though, it's a good phone.
Regards Mr. Andrew Harper This is a very good phone, the only criticism I could make is that the ring tones could or even should be louder.
Regards Mr. Barry NEAL 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 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 We had a set of old siemens phones which we replaced with the iDECT. They were utterly useless and we found ourselves having to replace them after only 4 months or so. We decided to go back to Siemens and we haven't been disappointed. They are a vast improvement. The quality is hugely better. I have deducted a star only because I'm still not used to them and do need to spend some time getting to grips with all the functions.
The service from Ligo has been particularly impressive. The phones turned up after just 1 day. Even though I ordered them very late in the evening I still received instant feedback on my queries. I would definitely use Ligo again and would not hesitate to recommend them to friends Regards lara Really happy with this product the SIM facility is very useful.
Regards zahir I've had this phone system for a couple of weeks now. Good points include: excellent quality hands free calling, answerphone and great selection of ringtones. Bad points for me: low volume in the ear piece (even at max volume), SIM import implemented poorly. Manual is badly written.
A bit pricey for what you get IMO. Steve Regards Mr. Steve Helstrip * The opinions expressed in this reviews section are those of our customers not of liGo Electronics. Nothing contained herein amends liGo's terms and conditions. |
