I had a discussion with a telephone guy that said that buying a DECT phone is not enough and it has to be NTL compatable or things like CLID wont work.

I take it he was right- how can I find out what phones that I might find randomly on the highstreet are compatable? I remember seeing some phones in currys with an ugly great ntl logo on them, I guess that must be them?

Is there a list or anything where I can choose or is it just odd traders that sell them? If so which ones please?

What is it actually that makes things break anyway? Have bt and ntl got different standards or is it a hardware issue implimented at the exchange end or what?

Anyway, just knowing how to find a good range to buy one is most important atm

thanks for any help
