We are a camping park and the phone works very well for about 200 metres with buildings and lots of hedges.

   BT Elements wins, 25th Feb 2007

The BT Elements phone is certainly durable, easy to operate, and gives a good range far better than the usual household DECT phones. We live in an old farmhouse with thick stone walls but with the antenna box in the right place the phone can travel around the house and maintain signal, which is exactly what we need. The hands-free feature is great, so we can talk and work at the same time. Being able to program numbers and scroll through the list on the screen to call is a perfect timesaver. It's a winner with us.

   BT Elements Quad Weatherproof, 27th Sep 2007

Received goods when promised. Bit confused about set up so rang helpline who were brilliant and got me completely set up with 10 minutes. So very simple to use. Haven't needed to look at instructions - phone buttons are self explanatory. Highly recommended.

   Improved Phone but some badly thought-out features, 24th Nov 2006

I purchased one of these phones for use by my MD, to use around the office and also around the grounds of our site. In the past he has used BT DIVERSE handsets and found that the range was weak in some areas so we were hopeful of the improved range.

The range and audio quality appears to be very good, but unfortunately the badly designed chassis has some more dissapointing features. The Torch feature is activated by a large button and this is frequently being knocked accidently and would have been better fitted with a sliding switch or a push button switch with higher resistance.

The other downside is that the belt clip, although it appears sturdy offers no flexibility and causes the phone to slip off of the wearers belt when he/she sits down. There isn't even a notch in the clip to help it stop slipping off the belt. This is a major flaw in the design of the belt clip and in truth, the phone would have been better equipped with a swivel 2 piece clip such as those found at theclip.com As there are also no phone cases etc available for this handset, it seems daft that a phone designed for wearing outside and in rugged conditions - can easily just drop of the belt and have no protection against scratches and the elements.

On a positive note... well done BT for making a handset with a seperate charger and base. (The base is simply designed as an antenna unit, and cannot be used as a charger). This is a great idea, as it means we can position the base in the most appropriate place, and not have to worry about charging the handset in that same location.

Hope this helps you make your decision?
Regards Paul Lewis (Communications Manager)

   Has it got long Range ?., 9th Jun 2008

The phone is of solid construction, and very easy to use. The claim of range of this phone must be without anything in the way, it is no more range than any other cordless phone. So it is let down by its so called up to 1 km, that is the same as saying up to infinity but it is not. So it only gets 2* for its misleading claim.

   ROCK SOLID, 25th Oct 2007

The perfect answer for external or as in my case industrial use. This one exceedes all my needs for a solid and robust phone along with easy to use menu and a good range. This is why i will now be ordering 2 more for my department. No more excuses of my phone is not working.

   BT Elements Quad Phones, 6th Feb 2008

Having a big and long house with thick farm house walls, conventional digital phones, with the standard 30 metre internal range (which reduces significantly through walls), were broadly useless. The robust BT Elements set has solved our reception problems although sensible positioning of the transmitter is still important. A very useful feature of these phones is the internal calling system that the system offers. Each individual phone comes with its own transmitter which is a little unnecessary and wasteful since you typically only need to use one. However, should you need to extend the range of the phones even further (say in a farm yard environment), it is possible to instruct the phones to receive from one of the additional transmitters which may be closer when the phone rings.

   Super sturdy and super simple!, 31st Mar 2008

I bought 3 of these for my factory and warehouse. These are EASILY the most sturdy cordless phones I have ever come across. The range is incredible too. Our premises covers 22,000 feet with machines, concrete walls and dense cardboard stock, but these phones never lose their signal!

With zero setup and an idiot proof menu (on a beautifully clear amber display) these are a dream to use. There's even a built-in flashlight operated by a dedicated sunken button! The keypad buttons light up too - which is nice to see on such a robust bit of kit.

The charging base (which is NOT the transmitter base) is very clever. No metal-metal contacts to get dirty or corrode here. The charging is done by induction! Same way as many electric toothbrushes charge up.

It loses a star on the belt clip however. It's just too short with no grip or spring to hold it tightly to your pocket or belt.

To summarise; Great phone - SUPER STURDY, ULTRA SIMPLE and POWERFUL

   it's alright, it's ok . ., 20th May 2008

It's ok so far BUT!. . . at first it didn't work with my ADSL filter so that had to be changed, and I'll have to relocate the transmitter as I'm not getting the claimed transeiver range by a long shot! but there's a lot of metal in my office structure so I'll experiment, also I've replaced the supplied batteries as they don't last long enough, they were 550mAh now 1000mAh.
So in summing up: Disappointed as always with BT telephone products, I always end up regretting having not bought Panasonic! heh ho.

   robust and versatile, 25th Apr 2007

I handle purchasing for a farm cooperative, and for quite a while now, I have been looking for a telephone system that was robust enough to handle the rigors of our business. I must say I’ve found the answer in this BT bundle. We’ve only been using this set for a month but we have a lot of good things to say about it. The range is quite good, even through thick walls and at large distances. The torch light is quite useful for various jobs or night work especially when a cow is calving, although it’s quite easy to accidentally switch it on, maybe they should locate the button somewhere else instead of on the main handset key pad. The handsets have also withstood inclement weather and various knocks and falls. Great product and great service as well from ligo.
Regards Mark

   BT Elements, 25th Jan 2008

Ligo service excellent.

BT Elements Phone attractive to hold and we liked the little torch - a really useful touch. But ...
Phone sound quality was disappointing - rushing noises coming and going in the background even with all PC gear switched off; we had to shout at it to be heard hands free even at 2 metres in a quiet room; people complained that we were hard to hear even when we were speaking without hands free. BT Helpline very good and pleasant to talk to but none of their suggestion made any real difference, so have had to swap the phones at Ligo. Maybe we just had a bad batch?

   Robust and well made, 28th Nov 2006

Excellent product does exactly what BT says it does. If you purchase this product you will need to use it with its OWN base station, if you use it with another GAP base station you WILL NOT get the advantage of the additional range, in fact it will probably only work very near the house.
