BT has launched a new home phone, 'BT Halo' that allows customers to make and receive mobile calls from their home phone using Bluetooth technology even in poor signal areas.
BT Halo integrates with up to two mobile phones and its screen shows which mobile phone a call has been forwarded from. The contact lists from both mobiles are also copied across to Halo, ensuring customers always have their contacts to hand.
The new easy-to-use BT Halo combines performance with an elegant design with a distinctive look that combines contemporary design with high spec features and performance.
The new BT Halo comes with BT’s Premium Nuisance Call Blocking technology, which allows customers to block up to 100 per cent of unwanted calls made to their landline number. It does this by screening incoming calls to the landline so users never have to speak to a cold caller again.
The BT Halo also has all the features of a BT home phone including an answer machine that can record up to 60 minutes of messages, hands free capability, and a backlit keypad. It also has a range from the handset to the base unit of up to 50m indoors and 300m outdoors, and the capacity to store up to 3,000 contacts.
