Small business ? The Siemens S685IP / S450ip can make three calls simultaneously - one BT line and two on sip / VoIP obviously you need 3 handsets to do this !! Great way to expand your business at low cost

We have to mention the BT Paragon 650 office / home hi spec answering machine - massive spec desk phone

Panasonic KXTG290E RUGGED IP54 Phone - essential for business

RTX 4002 Repeater boosts the range of MOST DECT Phones (check before buying)

The Gigaset S685ip

S685ip is a VoIP / landline phone with answering machine, bluetooth and a full specification - the most up to date VoIP cordless on the market

Gigaset E455:

Uses the M34 adapter to achieve Skype. The 455 is an IP 54 casing so its dust, damp and to a degree shock resistant. E455 is an ansaphone and has a 2.5mm headset socket (as C460) the separate base means the handsets can go exactly where you need them. NOTE If you have a C460 or a SL565 but want a handset for garage / pool / garden use then the E45 is a great proposition. Extra handset is the E45

Gigaset C475ip

Similar spec to the S685ip but without bluetooth and vcard feature - however its a lot less £
