Hi,
I'm getting the UPC Phone package added to my broadband. I need to buy a phone to use. I didn't bother with the €15 phone that UPC sell as I'd like to get one with dual handsets.
Can anyone recommend one? Argos have a huge range but i haven't got a clue of the specs.
Would this be okay? http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/5525669/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7COffice%2C+PCs+and+phones%7C14418968/c_2/3%7Ccat_19805493%7CTelephones%7C14418985.htm
Or this?

The two brands I've found best are Siemens and Panasonic.

Don't buy own-brand or unheard of DECT phones! They're invariably rubbish.

Must agree with solair, the Gigaset and BT phones are good. I had a BT cordless phone for 4 years and very happy with that then!

Hi,
The Siemens Gigaset base station is very sensitive to fluctuations in the mains. Avoid.
