Free: BT Twin Telephone (Weston-super-Mare BS23) Gifted Black and Silver BT4600 Premium Nuisance Call Blocker Big Button Cordless Phone with Answer Machine. It's in almost as new condition but the “hands-off/loudspeaker” button doesn't function and, if used, seems to cut out the phone. Also the volume control doesn't seem to be fully functioning. Maybe there's someone out there who could fix this. We'd probably carry on living with it but with one of us having become quite deaf, it no longer meets our needs.
