How Easy Are the Number Blocker Phones to Use?

Due to the large, high-quality screen and the ergonomic big-button keypad both of these phones are simple to operate, even for users with limited vision or dexterity. The intuitive menu is easy to use and the clear, concise user guide helps make this phone even more user-friendly. 

Are These Phones Hearing Aid Compatible?

These phones are fully hearing aid compatible, up to and including the M4/T4 specification, which is the highest specification of hearing aid available. The combination of great amplification and hearing aid compatibility make this pair of phones especially suitable for those who are hard of hearing. 

Can I Connect Additional Handsets to this Phone?

It's simple and easy to add your additional handsets with Amplicomms phones, simply select the base you would like to connect to through the intuitive menu and enter your 4 digit pin (the pin is set to 0000 by default). This phone can connect to a maximum of three additional handsets (including the one provided with purchase).

Is the Caller ID Function Clear and Easy to Read? 

The caller number is displayed clearly on the large screen, and if the number has been previously saved it will display the contact name instead. It's easy to save numbers into the phonebook by copying them from the Caller ID Log, which keeps a record of the last 50 incoming calls, including the date and time of the call. 

Do These Phones Have Speed Dial?

There are three speed dial buttons on both phones that have been clearly marked "M1, M2 and M3" at the top of the keypad. Simply press the desired "M" key when you are setting up the phones, enter a name and number and you'll be able to reach that contact with a press of the button, taking all the hassle out of staying in touch with loved ones. 

Is This Phone Compatible With Digital Routers?

BT have announced that by 2025, all analogue phone lines will be switched off, meaning landline phones will need to be compatible with digital routers and hubs. In preparation for the changeover, all Amplicomms Telephones are now fully compatible with digital networks. Amplicomms have confirmed that all phones are suitable for a digital network after testing at BT and Talk Talk labs.
