Steve, 

I think it's a really useful product for many VI people, including me, but
agree that the recording quality is an issue.

Hi Ibrahim,

Yes, I agree about the build quality, although my rubber feet have never
fallen off in the 18 months I've had it.  Do you tend to move it about a
lot?  I don't think you would in daily use.

I think for what it is, it is fantastic, but then I hold a commercial
interest.

All the best

Steve

Hi Steve.

For the short time I possessed a True Call unit, there were two things 
that really stood out for me considering the price paid for it.
Firstly, the call recording quality is astonishingly poor, especially 
when you listen to your recordings on your computer using the playback 
software supplied with the optional memory expansion module.  The 
other thing was the feel of the device.  It feels and looks cheap.  In 
fact, when mine was delivered, one of the rubber feet that held the 
True Call to the desk was about to fall off, so build quality isn't a 
major concern for these guys. The concept is fantastic, but the 
product at least for me fails to deliver.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi David,

What criteria doesn't Truecall meet out of interest?  I only ask, 
because we have the chance to improve it.

Thanks.

All the best

Thanks!

I had looked at the Panasonic but hadn't come across anyone using it.
The Truecall I rejected as it doesn't meet the criteria.

The background noise, BTW, is pumps in my brewery which will be 
putting out its first products in 3 weeks time.

Hi David.

I ended up going for a Panasonic KXTG8564 set of 4 cordless phones 
with built in answering machine. change the last digit for number of 
handsets required. The buttons on the base are tactile enough. I 
don't have any hearing impairments so the answering machine sounds 
fine to me, but I don't know how it would be in your environment. You 
can enter codes from the handsets to listen to your messages. the BT 
response 75+ stand alone answering machine is not bad either.

cheers,

Mo.

Hi all

As implied in the title, I am looking for an accessible integral 
handset
and
answering machine.

Talking isn't necessarily a requirement, but usability is imperative 
in conjunction with a BT landline.

Possibly in conjunction with wireless handsets, but this isn't 
essential.
As it may be used in a noisy environment, good audio quality and 
volume
are
also quite important, but less so if wireless handsets are involved.

Function is imperative, cost is a moderate consideration.
Buy cheap, buy twice!
