Ready for the Digital Switchover

Swissvoice have confirmed that all phones are suitable for a digital network after testing at BT and Talk Talk labs.
Do All Units Have to Be Plugged Into Mains Power?

How Does the Number Blocker Feature Work?
This feature has been designed to help stop spam and scam calls and can be used on either of the handsets included. The dedicated "Call Block" button allows you to prevent a number from being able to call you again and the phones memory is capable of storing up to 100 blocked numbers.
