They are loud enough, speaker phone is well loud, you can switch the ringer off on the base, the handsets etc.
Each phone has a 40 number memory, so if you want the same you have to put them on each phone but it gives you lots of numbers.
For the bedroom one I intend to put some tape over the base LED as it's quite bright.

Snap! So have I. It's adequate but it does have some shortcomings compared to previous phones I have had. Namely:
1) The display quality is fairly basic, not quite the old 7 element display, but not much better.
2) For the phone book, there are only capitals and 2 symbols, a space and a bar. Also, you're limited to 8 characters, so you need to be fairly inventive with the names.
3) You have to enter the names individually on each receiver's phone book. With my old phone, you only had to do it once.
4) There isn't a flashing light when you receive a message, you have to look closely at the display.
5) The numbers on the keypads are a bit indistinct.
6) As you say, the yellow light on the base unit and each charging unit is extremely bright. You really do need to turn the bedroom one away from you at night.
Oh, yes, and any discussion of caller display is pretty pointless because, as far as I can see, many, if not most of us are never going to get it from ntl. And if you think that that's a harsh judgement, then the fact that ntl refuse point blank to tell you what is going on says it all to me.
However, let's finish on a positive note. 4 phones for £90 isn't a bad deal. (Of course, I'd have been happy with 2, but my wife decided otherwise.
