Very good - once you have them set up properly
I like Gigaset handsets and this is the third set I've had. I wanted to cut costs on telephony and use the VOIP feature for outgoing calls (of which I make very few) and only rent the line from BT. I have Plusnet fibre broadband (FTTC), again without any call package. I signed up with Sipgate Basic on a PAYGO basis, loading twenty quid a time onto my account.Does it work? Yes - I take incoming calls on my existing number and make outgoing calls on a different number over VOIP. You can choose the area code and number with Sipgate and I used a number very close to my existing landline number.Is it easy to setup? No. I'm fairly competent at technical stuff and it took me a while to figure it out. Lots of trial and error. If you have a provider (like Sipgate) profile, it should be easier, but I didn't have a profile to use.What is call quality like? Excellent - better than landline. If you use a headset it's even better.Any issues? Yes. I had calls drop after a few seconds. It didn't happen at first but when it started to happen, it quickly started to happen on all calls. Some Google research revealed that it's an issue with NAT on the router and you have to set up port forwarding to avoid this issue. I managed to do this on my Apple Airport Extreme using some guidelines I found on the web.Now that all my issues seem to be fixed, I'm very happy with these phones. The handsets look smart and have lots of features. The base station incorporates two answer machines (one for landline, one for VOIP) which are accessed via the handsets. There is roughly 1 hour recording time. The base station is sleek, light and unobtrusive.

Bye bye Virgin landline with limited features!
Wow! Superb unit. Joy to use and setup. Keep finding more and more useful features as I use it, like sending newly created contacts on one handsets directory to the other handsets directory and vice versa. The quality of speech is amazing. Used Sipgate for free UK landline number and at 1p per minute to other UK numbers I'll be saving big time. No more monthly rental fees! Take the plunge, go broadband only, go VOIP and I recommend this phone!

Neat looking phone though feels very light and slightly plasticky. Yet to test its VOIP feature but set up was quick and easy with remote base unit enabling phones to go where we want them rather than next to phone sockets in wall. Second time we have bought a Gigaset phone and first one lasted five years before charger base failed so expecting good usage from it.

Very pleased with this set up
Very pleased with this set up. Even managed to configure my old BT Freelance Dect handsets to work with this base. My only puzzle is that the base unit appeared to arrive with a handset already registered to it and I cannot figure out how to delete without restoring the factory settings to the base.

a good buy.
The base unit was easy to connect to my sip provider, with clear instructions, the hand sets have very clear sound, also easy to setup with a menu driven interface.
