Siemens Gigaset range with the M34 usb skype adaptor should do most of it.=

Maybe the S440 model which supports multiple bases, PC updating of
phonebook, voice announce CID etc etc.=20

=20

Not sure if it can handle more than one land line although multiple bases
sort of hints that it can.=20

I am hoping to get a couple of these early next week=85if they turn up I

let you know what it can do. If my supplier can get one I will also be
looking at a SL555 for a client who wants a few.

=20

I'm after a set of around 3 DECT phones as my current ones are really=20
poor... and I'm being bugged by my mum for Xmas presents that she can at=20
least 'understand and buy from a real shop' ;-)

I would rather get something that costs a little more and that works=20
well and has the features I need. Has anyone a real world recommendation=20
for something that would have the following features, roughly in=20
order...  the last line brings it back OT for HA use ;-)

Large and simple keyboard interface - with as few buttons as possible
Large, clear easy to read screen (colour not required but is an advantage)
(avoiding having to find glasses to make a call)
Simple/intuitive  to use for non tech people
CallerID
Good audio quality
Phone book that can be centrally maintained and supplied across handsets=20
(ideally with a PC based connection / editor as well )  - if individual=20
handsets can add personal extra contacts that's even better
Handsets must feel to be good quality and shouldn't be 'tiny/cute'
Call history


Extra features that would be nice:

Message Waiting indicator (LED) support for using BT1571
Support SIM card storage of tel contacts to synch with phone
Built in answerphone with recordable voice message
Two lines
Ideally extra headsets will work with the DECT repeaters as one base=20
doesn't cover my home.
SMS
PC connection
Skype
Bluetooth
Anything that aids in HA use or adds great features without impacting=20
the ease of use from handsets, a PC USB/Serial connection would be=20
really nice , particularly if it offered CID or telephone ans machine=20
events.
