BT Converse 2100 Corded Telephone, Black

Leider ist das haptisch angenehme Telefon - anders als in der Produktbeschreibung angegeben - nicht in Deutschland einsetzbar. Das Anschlusskabel entspricht nicht dem deutschen Standard. Auf der Verpackung ist "private switchpoards in the UK" angegeben.

Starting a new home / office working job I was unsure what telephone would suit my needs. I mainly needed a phone with an RJ11 port for headset connectivity. My employer suggested a decent site with a wide range of suitable equipment (pmctelecom.co.uk) but to be honest I found the prices unreasonable compared to the similarly priced products here on amazon. Long story short, the BT Converse 2100 proved to be the best choice out of 20 others phones in terms of price-point & stability and as such I am happy to say I have not been disappointed with this purchase at all. This phone has a very solid and sturdy feel. Admittedly it has a somewhat limited feature range that (in my case) turned out for the best. Ironically the company software I use with this phone does all the glitzy stuff other higher priced phones come built with, such as call forwarding, address booking, secrecy, etc. If you are looking for a simple and sturdy office / home telephone look no further. This phone does exactly what it says on the tin with zero hassle and no fuss Extension Cord Advice --- Also as a tip I just wanted to add I actually needed this phone installed across a room due to the location of my supplier phone box. As a result I also bought a 10 meter extension cord thinking everything would work out fine. Sadly, I ignorantly failed to understand that there are different types of cord, for example there are 2 pin, 4 pin, straight wired and cross wired cables. Unbeknownst to me my first cable was a two pin cross wired extension that failed to work with the BT 2100. Looking through the 2100's manual did not help illuminate me to the correct configuration and only by looking at the 2100's original short cable I could see four gold copper pins and then had to take a guess as to if it would be a straight or cross wired cable. So finally after wasting about £15 on extensions that did not work I can confirm for this phone you will need a 4-pin straight wired cable for extension purposes. After knowing this eBay had a wide range of them on the cheap and everything is now working all fine and dandy. I hope that lil tid-bit of info helps out someone who may be in a similar predicament.

I work from home so I bought this phone a few months ago purely for work purposes and I barely used it because I was away on business trips for the whole summer and when I was not using it for work, we unplugged it not to give a chance to any sales people to harass us.So the phone started playing up pretty much straight away but unfortunately, with my upcoming business trips I did not have time to sort it out. Initially, there was a loose connection in the wire that connects the receiver to the phone so every now and then people would just all over a sudden disappear on me in the middle of a conversation - they were there, of course, at all times, it's just that I couldn't hear them anymore so I had to fiddle with the wire to bring them back (I actually called BT to double check that there is no problem on the line, so it was definitely the phone). But yesterday another part of the phone gave up so it became completely unusable. Now if you put the receiver down, when you lift it up again there is no signal and I have to shake the phone a few times to bring it back to life. This is completely ridiculous and it means that now nobody can call me because every time I put the receiver down the phone just goes dead! I asked Valutech for refund which they refused and instead offered me to pay them again to fix it! I find this a very bad customer service because they sold me a faulty item to begin with and now they are suggesting that I should pay them more for the privilege of not having my phone for a couple of weeks while they are fiddling with it, effectively depriving me of my earnings in the meantime (as I said before, I use this phone purely for work and the nature of my work doesn't permit me to use my mobile or Skype). I have now bought a new phone and I will be avoiding buying anything else from Valutech in future.

The BT Converse 2100 is a simple, analog corded landline phone suitable for home or basic office use. For me it was value for money as I only paid £12.69 with the Save with Used purchase option. It is line-powered, so it does not require batteries or a power adapter to function. The only problem I have found is that the handset cord is only 1.5 metre, very short when answering the phone to pick up the call. The Save with Used purchase option that I paid on the full price justified the purchase of a replacement Telephone Handset Spiral Cable of 4 metre long which is a far superior length and the call clarity and volume is still good and makes the BT Converse 2100 fit for purpose.

Sturdy landline phone with loud button for hard of hearing and loud ringtones. It works well plugged into our new modem. Brilliant if you can’t find your mobile!
