My mate has a wireless doorbell where you can record your own ring tone as such. Everytime he presses his doorbell, as he's pulling into his drive it shouts "I'm home, get the tea on"

I spent ages swapping frequencies on our doorbell to prevent ours ringing when another house bellpush was activated.... then noticed that the same style bellpush was fitted to ELEVEN other local houses!

So I traded in one model and bought another brand... no problem since.

The doorbell's wireless, carries it in his car. I thought we'd have been able to deduce that as we are talking about wireless doorbells

Bet he thinks it's right funny but his missus hates it

I thought we were talking about the speaker part being wireless, but the button being fixed to the door frame... I didn't even realise you could get ones whereby the button itself was the wireless component.

I can understand the need for the wireless speaker... if you live in a big house, or a house with 3 or 4 storeys, etc... then this is useful. A wireless button, however, just seems to be the ultimate in laziness.

I think I need to get one of these.

Our house only has a knocker, and we wouldn't be allowed to drill holes through the door jam to run wires to a normal doorbell.
So a stick on wireless doorbell is perfect.
Ours came with a plug in bell and a battery operated bell, so we can have one downstairs and one upstairs, which was handy when I was working nights as I'd normally sleep through delivery men calling otherwise!

I had the same problem when I bought one of these! It was driving me crazy for about a week until I realised the problem. If you look at the leaflet that came with it you will probably find its on a factory setting of "0000". You need to select your own four digit code and this will sort the problem.
