GPOCarrington Classic Retro Push-Button Phone with Pull-Out Tray, Traditional Bell RingTone, Ringer On/Off for Home, Office, Hotels- Ivory

Nous avions déjà acheté un tel de cette marque dont nous étions ravi. Ce modèle ci nous l'avons choisi pour offrir. Grosse déception une première fois car la sonnerie est tellement faible qu'on entend rien à l'autre bout de la pièce. Cela peut arriver, donc on demande un échange. Là très rapide ... rien à dire. Mais ultra déçus de recevoir un produit à nouveau avec le même problème technique. De toute évidence la série est défectueuse. Résultat pas de tel et plus de cadeau : la loose ! espérons que le remboursement sera rapide...

I bought this 'phone for one reason. Three generations live in our house and the two cordless 'phones are forever going absent only to found after much searching wherever our grandchildren left them. Usually under their beds! So I decided to have a fixed phone that couldn't be taken away. The problem was that the technological marvels on offer are none of them aesthetically attractive so I decided on the Carrington. This is the 'phone of the black and white movies, WHItehall 1212, Scotland Yard, the green scrambler on Churchill's desk.Ours sits on a small coffee table in the lounge and it looks perfect, a good weight and the ring is perfect nostalgia, easily drowning the melodic twitterings of the cordless jobs. The mouthpiece can even be unscrewed - perfect for hiding messages for spies!The push buttons are a giveaway but I don't mind as it was the style and design I wanted. However, if you seek an exact replica then this might disappoint. The buttons are sensitive and I was able to renew my pet insurance keying in the various call centre options with no problems. Speech is clear but there is a slight hiss and the call centre operator really did sound as if she was beyond the seas!To sum up, it's reasonably priced, it looks good, does the job and is great fun, I love it. Delivery was fast and it was well packaged. One caveat - if this is to be the only phone you have you may miss the specifications and audio quality of a modern 'phone but, of course there's always the address book drawer! Have both.

This is your sign to get this phone! I used it as a prop and now it’s my centerpiece on my living room stand by my vinyl record player!!!

I bought this when I had a fault on my landline and mistakenly thought the fault was with the telephone handset. As it turned out not to be the handset I am still using the original handset and have kept this for a back up. I like the style of the handset and am happy with it but cant give a higher score as I am not really using it.

Phone works on our phone lines. Interesting appearance. Basic features.
