GeemarcMarbella - Gondola Style Corded Telephone with Large Buttons, Mute Function and Visual Ring Indicator - Wall Mountable - UK Version - Pearl White

Die Beschreibung, "für deutsches Telefonnetz konzipiert", trifft nicht auf den mitgelieferten (Wand-)Anschlußstecker zu, da weder TAE noch RJ-xx sondern ein mir (und dem dt. I-Net) unbekannter Flachstecker mit RJ-45-ähnlichen Kontakten. Technisch würde es funktionieren.Der optische Einddruck sowohl der Kabel (Spiral- und Anschluß) als auch des Gehäuses ist (preisangemessen) wenig wertig, das Gehäuse verbreitete einen sehr unangenehmen Geruch. Lautstärke des Zwitscherrufsignals ist in zwei Stufen: high, low und AUS einstellbar, die Tasten behindertengerecht groß und übersichtlich. Aufgrund des unpassenden Anschlußsteckers und der heftigen Ausdünstungen ging das Gerät leider auch wieder zurück (offensichtlich auch nicht das erste Mal).

Large buttons for ease of use. Adjustable volume for hard of hearing.

This is a very light weight phone, and with the short cables provided it is very easy to knock the whole thing over while picking up the phone standing. It comes with wall mounting screws, which is good, but I would reccomend buying longer cables if this is what you want to do with it.The ringer is very loud, so we have set ours to low. I guess having a very loud ringer is great for if you're planning to have it downstairs. We live in a flat so that's not a worry for us.Dialing is very loud in the ear, so I'd reccomend dialing with the receiver away from your ear.Call volume is fine, though should someone who normally speaks softly call I'll have to ask them to speak up.The package arrived as is in the box, there was nothing to protect it from damage or theft in regards to hiding what it is.All in all for a cheap phone it's pretty good. I bought it to be a temporary phone as my usual phone recently failed, so for that purpose it's pretty good.Overall I am pleased with my purchase.

Does what we need it for. Only critism is that it is very light. Need to pick up the phone with the handset when you use it, else the phone just lifts up as it is so light.

Lovely phone and really nice buttons which one can see clearly without one's reading glasses. If there is a power cut, the phone does not need electricity so will work as long as the telephone lines are working. The phone does not use batteries. Last number redial LNR works well, the ring is loud enough, the ring can be turned off if you have another or several phones ringing and you can still use the phone. Mute button works, there is an R button, whatever that is for. The size of the phone is nice for hanging on the wall and a little light for use as a table phone. The buttons are on the phone and not on the handset which is GREAT. Digital display of the incoming phone number to reduce picking up the phone with unsolicited or foreign calls, a way of making the phone a bit heavier, more ringtones and speaker phone would make this phone really fantastic and double the price.
