I purchased the Beetel Combo phone (not the one shown in picture) a few months back. Over all I have a mixed feeling about this. Let me list the good features and bad features so that an idea of the product can be obtained.
Good features
Cordless
Can dial out from Base Unit as well as Cordless unit
Caller ID available in both Base and Cordless units
Call transfer from one to another possible
Intercom facility - base unit to cordless and vice versa.
Cordless feature works even without power supply using backup battery pack.
(Above feature is not found in most of the cordless phones)
Speaker facility in base unit (make / receive calls - hands free)
Bad features
Very short range ! In fact wouldn't work even at short distances. Works OK within my small apartment, but if I go out of my apartment no signal
No back light.
Base unit also needs to be connected to power. Separate power connection for Cordless handset charger. i.e two power connections required.
Very limited number of storage of incoming/outgoing calls.
Limited range of ring tones
No filtering of area code for incoming numbers. i.e even local numbers are tagged with STD code.
Overall I am happy with the product but for the price it could be better. Features already available in other Beetel models can be included in this to make it a great product
