BT 8500 single review

  (Rating Hidden)

The BT 8500 is BT's new weapon in the war on nuisance calls. This premium phone uses BT's 'Call Guardian' system, which is based on TrueCall's excellent call blocker. It sounds appealing, but is this cordless phone easy to use? And is the call quality...

Review: The BT8500 (Advanced Call Blocker) – Twin

 

Landlines may sound like a myth from the past, but they are well and truly surviving, and while many of us may not have one at our homes, businesses still[...]

Landline phones hardly make the news among the tech circles these days, and it is understandable. However, as any business or phone owner knows, time is precious and call vetting is priceless. The BT8500 throws that feature in with an extremely good...

Unwanted Call Blocking : BT BT8500 Call Guardian

 

Working from home, I regularly find myself having to put up with unwanted calls from companies wanting to provide a so-called service I do not want or have asked for. Maybe this next product could help.

A fairly recent modern phenomenon concerns the numerous cold calls we have to put up with from companies who have so little concern for the general public and think we have nothing better to do than listening to their marketing spiel. There are also...

No more unwanted calls.

This phone is great for blocking out unwanted calls. I haven't had a single unwanted caller since we got the phone. The downside, as Which has said is sound quality. It can be very difficult to hear when someone leaves their name before you accept the...

Good phone but jury still out on reliability

  (Rating Hidden)

Was very pleased when I purchased this phone. Time consuming to set up, especially loading all friends and family numbers, but excellent at stopping nuisance calls. Unfortunately the base station developed a fault after only 3 months, whereby it would...

I have the BT 8500 Cordless phone and note that your review cites, on page 65 CONS:-'sound quality on calls and messages could be better'. Your test showed sound down rated to ***. When I first had this phone[triple] I did find sound to be subject to...

Nuisance calls blocked

  (Rating Hidden)

While I've only been using the BT8500 for a few days, I am already very impressed.The only drawback so far is that I haven't yet entered all my phone numbers, so a call form any one of them forces the 'announce name' feature - a couple of callers have...

Goodbye cold calls.

  (Rating Hidden)

Have owned this phone since last October (2014) and haven't received any cold calls, previously they were many. Don't have a problem with sound quality or volume, and range seems fine. There is one minor issue in that the call log keeps all the calls...
