Never posted here - but I need some impartial advise!

 

 

 

We have just moved to 2degrees VDSL after numerous issues with Spark..

 

 

 

I have just requested a Home Phone Plus service and I see that they have a phone but to me its expensive, it notes on there website that you can use an existing standard phone or upgrade to there cordless phone (this imply's to me that you can only use a standard corded phone, or maybe I'm an idiot and missing the point!).

 

 

 

Has anyone else got this service and if so, what cordless phone should I use? I would prefer a phone that will show the caller ID and notify if v/mail etc etc.. Plus preferably cheap.

 

 

 

Sorry if I am a bit naive about all this - just don't want to spend $90 on a house phone.

daviescw:

 

Will all the Caller ID functions etc. work with a cordless phone with a screen?

 

I relise these questions make me sound like an idiot - but its the only way you learn ha!

 

 

Yep. Caller ID works as you'd expect.

 

Can't comment on how well the Fritz branded phones work. Have the internal wiring at my place hooked up to the Fritzbox, isolated from the lead in from the street. Any phone connected works just as it did back on POTS (and VFX before that).
