>> You can purchase an optional accessaries cable which allows synchronisation

>> The model I have has an answering service built-in, again the answering

>> There’s a “Record” button on the handset so I suspect that you can record

>> that sort of thing.
>> We’re all familiar with the control one has over just about every aspect of 
>> a mobile phone? The same applies to this cordless phone system, custom ring 
>> tones, distinctive ringing, SMS tones, alarm tones, calendar tones and even 
>> a vibrating alert.
>> I was first made aware of the Siemens cordless phone range thanks to a 
>> tipoff from some friends of mine in the U.K. who recently bought themselves 
>> one.  The model range over there is different to what it is in Australia and 
>> may be different again in the U.S.
>> I have a fondness for bluetooth devices as they can connect through the Tek 
>> Controller which I’ve mentioned previously to my hearing aids. I had a 
>> Uniden cordless phone which had bluetooth audio and it wasn’t too bad at all.
>> There don’t seem to be too many places in Australia who stock the Siemens 
>> range so you may have to do a little searching.
>> Siemens in Australia have a web site for their cordless phones which 
>> contains much information including downloads of owners manuals.
>> Be warned however that some of the models featured have touch screens and 
>> thus would be next to useless I would think to totally blind people though 
>> if you have someone set up the Bluetooth facility then you may get around it 
>> that way.
>> In Australia the model you may wish to look at is the Siemens SL375, that’s 
>> the one I have.
>> I’ll be posting more details about this phone as I familiarise myself with 
>> it on my blog.
