BT Verve 450 DECT Digital Cordless Phone with Answering Machine

Today, we will be looking at the BT Verve 450 DECT cordless phone, what it’s all about and what tricks it knows. Those unfamiliar with the name should know that this product is a wireless phone, fully digital, and that it comes packed with a lot of features.

As it is wireless phone we’re talking about here, the signal, thus voice quality, is an important aspect we should take into account. Thankfully, the BT Verve performs admirably in this department. The voice on the other end will arrive at your ear with the same clarity as if you were talking face to face. Even in a flat, with tons of concrete in the way, that signal quality remains the same. So, the number one condition any phone must pass has been cleared. Next, let’s see what the extra features the manufacturers thought they should include are.

Its design is eye catching and the phone itself fits well into the palm of your hand, with a good grip too. But maybe you prefer to have your hands free when talking. If so, the handsfree function can deliver your voice with sufficient clarity from about 10 feet away. Carrying it in your pocket could be an option, because you won’t even feel its weight. Also, if you enjoy writing more than talking, you can use the text function.
The batteries on the BT Verve hold for about 100 hours while in standby, and 10 hours is talking non-stop. That should prove to be enough talk time even if you run a business and the phone rings once every 10-15 minutes.

Plus, 15 minutes of messages can be recorded, and its memory can hold up to 200 phone numbers. When the phone rings, you can choose what sound it will make out of 5 basic and 15 polyphonic ringtones. The phone can be used as an alarm clock too. Its indicators will show you if you are out of range, and they ill also display the battery level, time and date, as well as other useful information.

Verve produces this phone in a number of variants. The first and obvious one is a single DECT assembly. Depending on the house or office’s size the number can increase to 4 phones (quad DECT). The option of getting an additional phone is available, thus saving you from having to buy an entire set.
All things considered, the BT Verve 450 phone is a very reliable option to traditional wired phones, and even cell phones in some cases.
