I really liked the look/features on the Siemens phone but wasnt sure whether they were worth the money?? Glad to say that after to talking to a gentleman at Ligo about this phone and the other two I had narrowed it down to, I am pleased to say that I luv them. Phone quality is crystal clear, easy to set up and I had six to do, so I was pleased that was easy. They look stylish, better than my old Binatones??? Worth every penny, have already recommended my parents buy new phones, so shortly they will be purchasing soon. Many thanks Ligo for great service all round and the superfast delivery.

Hi ,
I just purchased the Siemens E455.
I returned one of the handsets as I thought the screen was scratched but it was a protective plastic film which I had not noticed. I sent it back to Ligo, They were great and sent it back within a couple of days:no charge!
As regards the phone:

1 I have seen one comment about the feel of the keys. I did find them a little awkward initially but I soon got used to them. It is a bit like using a slightly larger style mobile phone.

2 The ringtones are a bit odd but there is an old style phone ring that I am happy with.

3 The SIM card reader was a bit awkward to use. Firstly make sure you copy your mobile numbers to your sim card! As someone else pointed out, set your area code to 0 in bottom RHS and the rest of your area code in the LHS.when setting the phone up. I only managed to get 100 numbers transferred. ..I do not know why as the memory was showing that the phone had 50 entries left. It still saved a lot of work though. I also added H,W,or M after the persons name after the transfer to make it easy to go directly to home,work etc.as it did not store the numbers in quite the same way as my moble.
You can also go to a letter of the alphabet directly without the need to scroll through.

4 I have not used the SMS yet but I did think the predictive text was not quite as sure footed as my Sony Eriksson once again you get used to it.

5 I like the simple styling and the rubberised feel of the edges make it positive to hold.

6 The Sender box is a separate unit which means you can place the phones anywhere.

7 The reception is excellent and the sound clear. (I have no way of comparing as this is my first cordless but it works well for me)

8 I like the fact that you can turn off the display light when it's in its cradle.

9 Although it needs some assembly it really is only a matter of putting in a battery and clipping the back cover into place.

10 I agree with others comments about the manual. It lacks a logical flow but the info is generally in there somewhere. (I wonder if this was a result of it perhaps being in another language initially?)
Overall although they take a little bit of time to set up I would recommend these phones and Ligo was an excellent choice of vendor. Every time I have called I got through to a helpful member of staff quickly.
All the best Dave
