BT 8610 Cordless Phone with Answering Machine & Advanced Call Blocker

One Press Call Blocking.

It's early days yet but since I started using these phones I've not had one unsolicited call.

They were quite easy to set up. The build quality & functionality is definitely superior to my last ones which were also BT models. Callers are clear & loud enough to satisfy me even though my hearing is not what it used to be.

This model also includes an answer phone which I don't need since I rely on the 1571 answering service but you can simply switch the answer phone off if you don't want it.

On the downside, my previous cordless phones had a SIM card reading device which enabled the contents of my mobile phonebook to be transferred instantaneously. Unfortunately, this feature is not included with this model so I had to enter fifty odd names & numbers manually, a laborious task. This is important however, since only your stored numbers come straight through to you. Unknown callers have to identify themselves & you are then offered the choice to accept or reject the call. If the latter, further calls from that number are also blocked.

All in all though, I think this has been a good buy.Read full review

Well done BT

This phone is easy to setup and use. I bought this phone because I was getting between 5 and 10 nuisance calls each day, even at 8am on a Saturday and Sunday morning!!!! Now that I have this phone my house is quiet and I get a lay in at weekends. Thank you BT.Read full review

Love the call screening ability

Great phone with lots of useful features. I particularly like the call screening facility - my nuisance cold calls have all but disappeared!

Does the Job Required

I bought this phone to block nuisance calls and it does what it says on the tin. It is fairly straight forward to set up and once done it filters out all the call you told it you do not want to receive.Read full review

Ok but....

Great phones, good answering facility however, there is a lag in connecting to each call and occasionally people have to redial me as the call is very noisy. Overall though they are a good product.
