At the moment we have a pair of Idect X1 (bingatone?) dect phones But I think the base has gone faulty

It's sometimes a bit crackles when first picking up the line, but more recently it's been not ceasing the line at all, Had an incoming call earlier and I Couldn't answer it despite pressing the Accept button on the handset 3 times, Luckily we have caller display so I knew who was calling and called them back (after several attempts before it actually picked up the line to dial-out)

Also yesterday It dropped a call several times and I resorted to using my mobile.


I think the handsets are probably OK and its the Relay in the Base station that ceases the line that's gone faulty, Does that sound like a fairly accurate diagnosis?

I could probably get one cheaper by ordering online, but I think in this instance its going to be a trip into town.

Only places I can think that sell DECT handsets are Argos, Robert dyas and woolworths might do some.

Did see the BT mango in black on offer in ARGOS reduced to £25 although I'm not entirely convinced I like the look of the thing, Id prefer to spend less than £30 because I don't actually use the phone that often as tend to use the mobile but It has to be DECT because of where our phone scoket is a corded phone would be very inconvenient.

So any recommendation's and anything I should avoid like a plague?
