GPO 746 Push-Button Retro Landline Phone, Vintage Landline Telephone for Home, Office, Retro Phones with Authentic Bell Ring and Curly Cord, Red

Bought to replace analogue phone as land line taken away by BT! Am very pleased with this ‘phone. It looks great and works very well with the digital interweb box we were given. Recommended.

Does anyone remember this fone? When u took out a line 4 the 1st time, even as late as the 2000s, BT gave u this fone. Everyone had one. This arrived the other day. Its ivory & is a lot darker than on the website. The phone's great but not the colour - 2 dark. The BT fone only came in ivory & was a nicer, lighter shade of ivory. I'm returning this fone, not because there's anything wrong with it, purely because of the colour. The original ivory ones were a clean, light ivory colour, this one isn't - it's dark, more like a dirty fawny, light brown chocolaty mousse colour, not the classy, whitish ivory as on the photo. The phone was bought as a gift - exchanging it for the red one. Will post a further review once we have the red one. Sumone posted as late as May this year that the fone that the fone stopped working 3 months after purchasing it - I hope this is not the case as it's a classy looking phone. UPDATE :. Received the red one now and decided to keep it for myself! It's great! My buddy bought another one - am in the process of returning the IVORY one due to the poor colour. It pings when you pick up the receiver and put it back down. Just before it's rings it pings - can't remember if the original did. Love this phone! Recommend this phone but AVOID the IVORY one - the colour is dreadful! Chose either the RED or BLACK & good luck!

I really like this phone - I like the fact that it looks so nice and works well. The convenience of push button is great and you can hardly tell it isn't dial. The two annoyances is that it is not hugely loud - so have it on max - which is OK. Related - the vol control does not take it a notch higher. Overall, however, I am really really pleased I bought this and thought it great value ...

I’d read many other reviews that seemed very mixed, let me lend my experience. This is a lovely phone that delivers a smack of nostalgia. Is it as good as the original -NO! It’s lighter, it’s not as well finished and feels slightly plastic - BUT - I don’t tend to walk around with a phone connected to the wall! Sat on a side board it looks fantastic, the sound is great, the little ping before it rings, it takes me back to my childhood. We went for this push button as it is so much easier for my young children in the event of emergency, it still looks great. I really do recon this phone, I am a very satisfied customer.

This phone is brilliant. I bought it to replace a BT premium cordless phone because with minimum usage the rechargeable batteries needed replacing too often. This replica GPO phone looks the business and the call quality is excellent! Much clearer call quality than the BT cordless. I like this phone because the ring is authentic but in my opinion not too loud which is perfect. It’s also not very heavy and cumbersome which is a bonus. I’m so pleased with it and to know it will work if there is a power cut.

This phone works with the new BT non-copper wifi 'smart voice' system as well as the copper wire traditional phone system. For us, it plugs into the back of the wifi router (takes a few seconds, and you have to make sure the cables are firmly clicked in.) GPO staff were amazingly helpful when I called them prior to the purchase to ask some questions, and I'm really impressed with their customer service. I had panicked that the new BT wifi system meant we couldn't use a stylish phone (we got cut off for a bit), but this new GPO phone both looks retro and cool and also works with the new set-up. Really simple. Recommended for anyone that likes a straightforward and stylish retro phone that looks great in any interior and works in a really simple way, either via the copper phone line or via the router.

Just be aware that this Does NOT in the UK—wrong fittings. Only works in Ireland and mainland Europe!! Very disappointed as it was a birthday present for my husband. There are these phones around from other sellers but make sure before you buy.

I find it hard to recommend this phone. Cosmetically it looks the part, very stylish and gives a strong retro and nostalgia feel. I also like that it is touch tone dialling, which is much easier than the old rotary phones with pulse dialling. The call quality also seems good enough for me, and there is an option to increase the volume of the handset, though I found the normal setting just fine. However what lets it down, in my opinion, is the ringer is too quiet. There is also no option to alter the volume of the ringer as there is with the handset. I guess the volume is limited by the size of the bell. I'm lucky enough to have an original rotary phone and the ringer is much louder on that handset. I also find the tone of the bell on this modern equivalent is off compared to my original. Pros - touch tone dialling - call quality is fine - looks great Cons - ringer is too quiet. You'll struggle to hear it from other parts of the house - tone of the bell is off compared to the original, or at least compared to the original rotary phone that I have. All in all I find it difficult to recommend this phone, especially at full price. I'd get a refurbished model or wait for a sale.

Look at a color chart for azure blue. This phone is teal. Sending it back.

Le produit est vintage à souhait en terme de design mais fonctionne très bien. Il est raccordé directement à la box.

Precioso teléfono. Tal cual los de aquella época. No le pongo las 5 estrellas por el sonido, si fuese más parecido al original sería perfecto.

I bought this phone for sentimental reasons. The first telephone my family ever owned was red, just like this one. It brings back wonderful childhood memories and looks beautiful as a decorative piece. Very pleased with it.

Adoro lo stile vintage del vecchio telefono di casa con la modernità della tastiera , si installa in due mosse.
