About this product
The BT 3960 Cordless Telephone with Answer Machine is designed to give you complete control over which calls you take at home. Perfect for anyone tired of persistent nuisance callers, this single handset phone blocks up to 50 individual numbers and filters out common problem call types like withheld and international numbers. The handy Do Not Disturb mode silences your phone completely when you need uninterrupted peace and quiet, whilst the built-in answer machine records up to 12mins of messages with a personalised greeting option.
It's packed with practical features for effortless calling - 50 name and number memories, 5 ringtones, and handsfree calling for when you need both hands free. The batteries deliver up to 10 hours talktime or 200 hours standby, with a range up to 50m indoors and 300m outdoors. Last number redial, caller ID, call log, and call divert simplify call management, with adjustable speaker and ringer volumes. Out of range and low battery indicators keep you informed. Everything you need is in the box, backed by a 1-year manufacturer's guarantee. Caller ID service is required to use call blocking.

Not as good as I expected.
This looks a nice phone, with easy to use features. However, it wouldn't even let me set the date, which made anything else a frustratingly impossible task. Even getting the battery cover open to remove them when returning the phone, was impossible.

BT 3960
I'm trying this with my new hearing aids and using speaker phone. I'm learning the menu. There is a leaflet with arrows pointing to control buttons, which isn't clear. I tried BT on line but it's the same leaflet. On Google i found out straight away how to go between speaker phone and volume when calling. I'm still working on other functions.

Easy to set up
My answer phone had gone wrong so I ordered this one. Very easy to set up but does have to be charged for 16 hours before you can use it, but working well.
