"A rotary old-school telephone with absolutely no modern features - we love it."
London Lite

"A rotary dial, dumb-bell-like reciever and nerve-shredding ringer come as standard, plus a ridiculously long, curly chord for bungeeing out of your bedroom window. Beat that, iPhone!"
T3

"Chunky and hard-wearing, yet uber-stylish with their smooth curvaceous lines, every hall table should have one."
Daily Mail

I've had one of these phones for about three years now, people have tried to buy me digital cordless things, but these are the best phones ever!!! Great ring, great dialing, but they do only have pulse dialling, so no listening to old messages on 1571!

What a classic phone! Super loud bell ring, you can hear from three streets away and never have to worry about recharging the batteries again. Startling in red. Most excellent.

I love this phone, delivered on time and in cool packaging. It spices up my kitchen and a great conversation starter too! Go on, get one!

Got my phone last week and it has pride of place in the hallway. My boys aged 11 and 8 love it too and keep ringing my mobile just so they can play with the dial - the good thing is you can tell when someone is trying to use the phone on the quiet the whirl, urgh, sounds all around the house. Now all I need is a funky phone book to put on the phone table with it. Thanks Firebox another must have....

Had the beautiful red one for christmas - brilliant, no more menus to navigate nor looking for lost handsets! And, despite what's been said before, you can access 1571 for messages. Now I must search for a telephone table....

This has to be simply the best phone ever!!! I love it!!! I bought the target one, and it has pride of place in my living room!! It is soooo loud when it rings!! Fantastic!! Although I always get the feeling bad news is on the other end of the phone when it rings!!! Must be watching too many late 70's cop dramas!!! A Firebox must have!!! Go buy one quick!!!

This is just the best phone ever! It's a trip right back to the 70's - think Crossroads Motel with Meg Mortimer answering the phone! This phone feels lovely to use - I never realised how well designed these phones were. They're so comfortable to hold as your hand grips (more comfortable) the handle rather than just holding it (less comfortable). The ring sounds great - with a real resonance - no stupid noise or ringtone - just a good plain honest ring ring. The dialing mechanism is slow but who cares - there is something very relaxing about watching the dial wind back as you dial each number. Overall I love it - the phone appears as though the insides and base plate are original and that its had a brand new outer casing (I don't remember any black, red and pink phones from when I was a kid) - so best of both worlds. This has got to be a must buy for anyone who likes to spend hours on the phone having lazy conversations rather than if you need to dial many many numbers quickly (your finger would hurt from all that dialling!). Its an absolute classic and worth every penny!
