Landline Phones

[Ant]

Since there's a mobile phone thread, I only think it's fair we post our phones which we have in our humble little homes...

This is mine...

It's a BT Freelance XD100. It's less than a month since I had a landline restored at my flat, so I bought this for about £20. Maybe £25.

It's fookin rubbish. It sounds rough, and there is at least a one second lag between me answering it and my voice being heard by the caller. I say "caller", but I mean Steve. My mate. He is the only person who knows the number. Everyone else calls my mobile.

Given that the mobile sounds better I think I shall keep it that way.

I had a BT line hooked up to my new place yesterday, so I nipped over to Argos (which is a 2 min walk) and got myself a cheap phone for about £15.

I only had the landline hooked up so I could get broadband installed, but I dont think I'll get around to that for a little while.

Nothing beats the moby, though.

The moby? That's what chavettes and children call their mobiles!

I have a good old GPO model 746 in 'hotline phone' red. Beautiful piece of kit.

Does this count? It's not technically ''mobile'', you know.

1x BT Tribune Pulse Telephone 9802AR;

2x BT Relate 80 Tone Telephone (one plugged into business line);

3x Phillips DECT 2153 Cordless Telephone with Answering machine;

1x Brother Fax machine, no idea what model, business line;

1x BT Internal bellset 50B (1981), soon to be removed due to the fact it's not filtered and causing noise on the line. [It's a ringer to enable us to hear the phone on all 3 levels, not required now due to purchase of DECT phones]

1x BT Plug In Ringer, never used.

1x Panasonic Answering machine, buggered.
