The Gigaset Premium C570A VOIP Phone is a sleek, stylish, and thoroughly modern phone that can be used via both landline and VoIP.

It’s IP67-rated for protection from water and dust, and with 13 hours of talk time and 160 hours of standby, it’ll keep going for days on end. The Analog Phone Gigaset A270A is reliable for all the basic information you need throughout the day. A dull, average design which looks like a 2006 mobile phone in a glossy black (I am sick of saying this: tech manufacturers, stop making products in glossy black. For a while there was a trend for cordless phones to mimic smartphones, but manufacturers are increasingly going back to more traditional designs and useful features over touchscreens and app-related gimmicks. You can block whole groups of numbers by their prefix, or block a number at a press of the dedicated button.

All our Gigaset handsets as well as the Gigaset L800HX Speaker support at least the GAP standard and can therefore be used with the basic functions on other GAP base stations/routers.Comparing the quality of these cordless phones with my desk phone which has a cord, I didn’t notice any real difference. Like all Gigaset cordless telephones, the Gigaset A170 is equipped with the environmentally friendly ECO DECT technology. The latest version even includes Voice Control features, although you might not want to get too excited.

Their condition is so perfect that you probably wouldn’t be able to tell them apart from brand new ones. One of the most advanced cordless handsets on the market, the Gigaset S700 is ideal for business users, as well as home users looking to add a touch of luxury to their home tech.The handset is nice and chunky but probably slightly heavier than most of the other devices on this list. Cordless handsets that support the GAP standard can be registered to any GAP-compatible base station. For this reason, with our large-key telephones we focus on especially user-friendly operation, a sophisticated design, and people's need for security.
