My Philips Onis 200 has finally bit the dust and I need to replace it.
I went out and bought a random Philips Dect phone yesterday and was
staggered to find that some 5 years or so after I bought my Onis 200
this phone did not support a shared phone book and a slightly less
irritating feature was no time and date stamp on answer phone messages
(only annoying if youve been away for a week or so). So I have
returned the phone and got my money back.

Having looked through this group I am still struggling to find a
suitable replacement.

I dont think I need any special features and I dont want to spend a
lot, can anyone advise me?

Thank you

I bought a Panasonic answerphone and three handsets and was miffed to find
that the phonebook is per handset rather than per base station, so you need
to enter the same names into each handset. This is pathetic!

Its not enough to make me return the phone, especially as I had to hunt far
and wide to find one that has a socket for a headset to be plugged in so I
dont have to use squawk-phone and find a way of holding the phone close
enough to my mouth that I dont have to shout.

In other respects its good: the answerphone marks the messages with calling
number (or name if its in the phonebook) and date/time, whereas my older
Panasonic answerphone didnt give the number and just timestamped the date
as Friday which left me wondering FFS, *which* Friday?.

The Philips DECT 511 has shared addr books and call register, it
date/timestamps answerphone messages.

Can you copy the phonebook from one handset to the others?

My Panasonic DECT phone (KXTCD240 plus 3 extra handsets) has the same
problem as yours. However, once I have a new number to put into the
memory its just a case of copying the entries to the other handsets.
I think the command is copy all from the address book menu and then
select the handset number. For me its the only minor niggle in what is
a first class system.

No, Panasonic tell me that my model doesnt even have the facility to copy
phonebooks from one handset to anohter, never mind storing the phonebook
centrally on the base station so every handset is guaranteed to see the same
phonebook.

Not a major problem but a niggle - youd think theyd have thought through
the implications of having multiple handsets and wanting an entry made on
any handset to be visible to all of them without having to enter same
entries three times or explicitly copy changes to other handsets.

My handsets are KX-TGA807E, part of KX-TG8093 answerphone system.
