Yet another phone

Try this one now. There is an intermittant fault on our phone so we are trying this to see if the Instrument is at fault or it is the Connection. Trouble is this new one seems to do everything, from Networking with 5 other phones to sending Texts etc. We just want to call People and have an answerphone in case someone calls us when we are not at home. The rest is of no interest.Also we need to charge the batteries in the phone for 14 hours before we connect it, have they not heard of Fast , Delta Peak Technology.??
Just noted that 16 more Blips make my 1,000, see if I can manage it before Xmas.
